Yes you can. Although this depends some one the material (type of metal) and thickness of the pan. Higher quality pans with thicker bottoms are less likely to burn on higher heat. other variables are what you are cooking and how full the pan might be.
The temperature is to high, it was on for to long, or the pan wasn't properly oiled and the veggies werem't regularly turned.
The actual "cooking temperature" will depend on the cooking pot or pan you are using, and the efficiency of that pot or pan at conducting heat from the burner to the food you are actually cooking (rather than radiating it out into the kitchen). So, if the actual cooking temperature is of vital importance to you, then it is best to use a thermometer to check the food temperature, rather than the burner temperatures.
With a non stick pan you shouldn't go past the temperature 5-7 medium I think
Using an electric roasting pan for cooking offers benefits such as even cooking, precise temperature control, and convenience.
it heats the pan to a certain temperature so that the fire burns and causes it to burn less gas and get money :
For some foods, you need a "warmed pan". But, for most cooking, it doesn't matter what the pan's temperature is when you start.
The ideal pan temperature for cooking steak to achieve a perfect sear and flavor is around 400-450F (204-232C).
To properly season a steel pan for optimal cooking performance, first wash the pan with hot, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Then, apply a thin layer of oil to the pan and heat it in the oven at a high temperature for about an hour. Repeat this process a few times to build up a non-stick coating on the pan.
Braising is a cooking method where the food is first seared (browned in a pan at a high temperature) and then simmered with a small amount of liquid in a closed pot.
To properly season an aluminum pan for optimal cooking performance, start by washing the pan with warm, soapy water and drying it thoroughly. Next, apply a thin layer of oil to the pan's surface and heat it in the oven at a high temperature for about an hour. Repeat this process a few times to build up a non-stick coating on the pan. This will help prevent food from sticking and improve its cooking performance.
Most likely after because it could burn off, especially if your cooking with a teflon pan ( a non stick pan) because then the salt may erode the chemicals that make the pan non-stick and they are toxic.
For a medium-well steak, the recommended cooking time is about 4-5 minutes per side on a grill or in a pan over medium-high heat. The internal temperature should reach around 150-155F (65-68C).
