What does SAUTE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To fry food quickly in a small amount of hot fat over fairly high heat, stirring or tossing it so it cooks evenly without becoming soggy.
To saute something, a cook uses just enough oil or butter to coat the pan and keeps the food moving with a spatula or by tossing the pan itself, which is where the term gets its name from the French word for to jump. Vegetables such as onions and mushrooms are often sauteed briefly to soften them and develop flavour before other ingredients are added. Because the heat is high and the fat is shallow, food that is sauteed browns quickly on the outside while staying tender inside. The technique differs from deep frying, which submerges food completely, and from stewing, which uses liquid and lower heat.
