I love your insight on healthy cooking. Very knowledgeable. I always use less oil to saute garlic and such, this is a wonderful tip!

Wow, Erika, that’s really interesting. I had no idea anyone else did it. Very glad to know. Thanks!

Have seen this method at a Japanese chef. He kept the skillet inclined, over the fire, so the oil gathered in the lower side of the skillet (the side towards the handle) and once the garlic (or anything else he used) got fragrant he spread the oil in the whole skillet. I have been doing the same ever since with very tasty results :-)

interesting – i have never heard of this pooling oil concept – I’m looking forward to trying it – I’m sure I add too much oil to my pan as it is.
