Description
Patina cooking involves the Maillard reaction in a sealed vessel to create a golden-brown crust on food surfaces.
Technical
Patina cooking involves the reaction of amino acids and reducing sugars on the surface of food at high temperatures to create a golden-brown crust through the Maillard reaction, a non-enzymatic browning reaction. The reaction occurs in a sealed vessel, which helps to trap the moisture and heat, promoting the reaction.
