To cut into a jagged edge with notches or teeth Searing meat produces an appetizing brown colour on the surface and induces savoury flavours through the Maillard reaction. Contrary to common belief, searing does not "seal in" the juices of the meat during further cooking. That notion is 150 years old but has been disproved by kitchen science. Once seared, meats may be fried at a lower temperature, baked, roasted or braised to finish them.
