Please explain Rachel Ray's Recipes when they state one or two turns of the pan - what is that?

She means that you should pour a stream of liquid (usually oil) around the circle of the outside bottom of the pan, following the ';walls'; of the pan or pot. Rachel does not like to constantly be measuring tiny amounts so she uses ';once around the pan'; to usually mean about a tablespoon of oil per turns around the pan.





RR's cooking is very free-form and she wants people to get a sense of how much they need by eye instead of futzing with little scoops that are then hard to clean. She frequently uses such scientific measurements as ';a handfull'; or ';a bunch.';





Essentially, she cooks the way our great grandmothers originally did: By eye with a developing sense of how much of what ingredient seems right. This doesn't work well for every type of cooking (it is a no-no in baking) but for some foods it saves time and helps develop within the cook a sense of what kind of proportions work.Please explain Rachel Ray's Recipes when they state one or two turns of the pan - what is that?
if it is a luquid she is talking about, then she means, start pouring, and circle the pan one or two times hope this makes sense to you.Please explain Rachel Ray's Recipes when they state one or two turns of the pan - what is that?
She's usually talking about EVOO. You just pour it around the pan in a circle, however many times. She uses a pour spout on her EVOO, though.
