Nope. Remember the pan is full while “baking”. In fact jfood has a favorite quick fish recipe in which he brings a NS hot, sears a piece of salmon (skin side up) in EVOO, flips it, adds some veggies (blanched and...

floyd – thank you for the offer, but I think I did OK last night. At some point I’ll have to try all these other options, but seeing as we only have rice once in a blue moon, it’ll take me awhile to work through...
