How long do you keep it in the oven
hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on did AMERICAS TEST KITCHEN really just put a plastic handled non stick pan in an oven!!!?!?!?!???
I guess you feel threatened by me because you can't stop calling me names. Eat healthy !!
Enough with the endless Sugar In Everything! You guys at Cooks/ATK don't give a hoot, do you, about diabetics or hyperactive kids or people with dental problems or the obese or any of the other gazillions of Americans who need to be eating much less sugar for many different reasons. "Worst. Tip. Ever."
fucking stupid tip. heating up an oven for two small fillets.
You have to know that Cooks, while wonderful, wants you to buy their magazine . They will leave something out, or promise a recipe and then not give it to you unless you subscibe. Nice.
Be sure to use a plastic handled pan in your 425 degree oven too, haha!
No … therefore, this is a completely worthless tip…. at least, in my opinion….. 🙂
Did anyone get the information as to approximately how long one should cook the fish in the oven? I noticed that information was missing the first two times I watched the video … I watched again to see if I zoned out and missed it … but no … that was not the case. Strange.
Ah! The sugar will give it crust! Nice trick!!!
Why? no real good reason. You are just used to it? No?
what if your oven is broken? how would you cook the fish in the pan then?
How long should we cook both sides? And what is the best sauce we can have for this after we cook it? Thanks.
This is an awful tip. You can taste sugar used in this manner and even if it's extremely faint it interferes with the flavours of the fish. It can be a good thing with certain dishes but only if you plan to have the fish sweetened. In the first place it's just not that difficult to brown a fish and keep it moist anyway.
Oh, and as a side note; when cooking with fish you should always oil the fish before you put it in the pan, rather than putting oil in the pan itself.
Sugar? i doubt it but will give it a try on my next fish.
Thanks! I was looking for a new pan and this might be it.
I have those exact non-stick pans (T-fal Professional Total Non-Stick) — the handles are made of oven safe silicone (technically safe up to 350F, but I've done 400F+ without any issues).
You should make sure your non-stick pans are oven-safe before baking them 🙂
I always use sugar for roasting salmon! Kinda an old technique.
Thank you
How were you able to bake in a pan with a plastic grip?
