Poor Joz, I bet you wish they'd make throw away pans, so you would not have to wash them.
Spot, are you a Stonedine agent? Good spiel for sales.
Seriously, can anyone tell me how to sear a steak or cook it to mdium rare without broiling it?
Most frying pans are not to be used on high heat (except cast iron) and medium heat broils meat in all the juices that seep out while heating.
My man loves medium rare, and I like cooking what he likes, although I hate cooking. I have small hands and thin wrists riddled with arthritis. Cast iron is a bit heavy for me to lift and hold, but perhaps it will be my only option.

Lind, I use my old breville grill press for steak. Works a treat, sears the outside but you can have the inside as rare as you like. The juices drain away so no broiling.
It's the bigger version of the sandwich maker, has a tray to catch the runoff. Not the current model with the deep grooves top and bottom, they are horrible to clean. I think Sunbeam still make a flat bottomed one.
I never move the heat setting off low for anything I cook on it.
Thank you, kelso and crikey. I will try to get one of those sandwich makers, but for now I'll us crikeys way of cooking the next steak in my old frying pan. It's a non-stick pan and still good, eccept from the wobbly bottom.
Maybe I should hit someone over the head with it to flatten the bottom again???

Oh well, there are a few in Parliament that I would like to knock down a pan peg or two.
