Searing is a stovetop cooking method that creates a crisp outer coating on the food. Meat and fish is most often seared. This cooking method is sometimes combined with roasting. The fish is seared on all sides in a skillet with a small amount of oil. Once it is browned all over to seal the outside of the meat, it goes into the oven to finish cooking. The meat requires less cooking time in the oven, which reduces the chances of the meat drying out. 2, record 2, English, - searing

This layer is not self-supporting. Traditionally it is used to improve handling properties(M&M's melt in your mouth, not in your hand) or to prevent moisture loss... It can also be used as an adhesive to seasonings on snack foods..., as a glaze on baked goods... and to increase shelf life and reduce the need of packaging material. The shelf life is extended, because the film acts as a barrier to moisture and/or oil and/or vapor transmission. An edible coating has to have good eating properties : acceptable color, odor, taste, flavor and texture or be undetectable. An other requirement is that it must adhere to the food, but(in most cases) does not stick to packaging material. 3, record 6, English, - edible%20coating

The solventless laminator provides an answer for growing environmental concerns. It also eliminates the possibility of solvent migration making it the preferred choice by food processing companies.
