How to cook restaurant quality gourmet steaks and chicken every time!

Summary

For the Perfect Steak:

  1. Choose the Right Cut: When preparing steak with Diamond Earth pans, opt for cuts like ribeye, filet mignon, or strip loin. The even heat distribution of Diamond Earth cookware ensures consistent cooking and perfect searing.
  2. Bring to Room Temperature: Allow your steak to come to room temperature before cooking in Diamond Earth pans. This ensures that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
  3. Pat Dry: Before seasoning, pat your steak dry with paper towels, especially when using Diamond Earth cookware. This helps to achieve a perfect sear and prevents steaming.
  4. Season Generously: Season your steak liberally with salt and pepper just before cooking in Diamond Earth pans. The non-stick GREBLON coating ensures that the seasoning adheres well to the meat.
  5. Get the Pan Hot: Preheat your Diamond Earth pan over medium-high heat before adding the steak. The even-heat retention of Diamond Earth cookware ensures uniform cooking and a beautiful crust.
  6. Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking multiple steaks, use a large enough Diamond Earth pan to ensure that each steak has enough space to sear properly.
  7. Use a Meat Thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of your steak when cooking in Diamond Earth pans. This ensures that you achieve your desired level of doneness.
  8. Let it Rest: After cooking, allow your steak to rest for a few minutes in Diamond Earth pans before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and flavorful steak.

For Perfectly Cooked Chicken:

  1. Choose Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken: When cooking chicken in Diamond Earth pans, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs are ideal. The non-stick surface ensures that the skin crisps up beautifully without sticking.
  2. Brine or Marinate: Consider brining or marinating chicken before cooking in Diamond Earth pans. The non-stick GREBLON coating allows for easy cleanup, even with flavorful marinades.
  3. Pat Dry: Before seasoning, pat your chicken dry with paper towels when using Diamond Earth pans. This ensures crispy skin and better browning.
  4. Season Inside and Out: Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and spices, both inside and out. The non-stick surface of Diamond Earth pans ensures that the seasoning adheres well to the chicken.
  5. Cook to the Right Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your chicken when cooking in Diamond Earth pans. The even heat distribution ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly.
  6. Use a Two-Zone Grill: If grilling chicken, set up a two-zone grill with direct and indirect heat. Diamond Earth cookware ensures even cooking and prevents flare-ups.
  7. Rest Before Serving: Allow your chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking in Diamond Earth pans. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy meat.

By incorporating Diamond Earth pans and cookware into these cooking tips, you'll achieve perfectly cooked steak and chicken with ease and convenience.
