Q. How can I heat oil to 300 without a thermometer?
A great trick to use to determine ideal frying temperature without a thermometer is to use a wooden utensil (ideally a chopstick). If it immediately bubbles up vigorously once you dip it in, the temperature of the oil is hot enough to fry properly.
Q. How can you tell how hot oil is without a thermometer?
When the oil has preheated, dip the handle of a wooden spoon or a chopstick into the oil. If the oil starts steadily bubbling, then the oil is hot enough for frying. If the oil bubbles very very vigorously, then the oil is too hot and needs to cool off a touch.

Q. Can you use olive oil to sear a steak?
Brush each side with 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil. Place the steaks on a hot grill and sear for 4-6 minutes, rotating 90° once to create criss-cross grill marks. For a rare or medium finish, turn the steak over and finish cooking to the right temperature.
Q. Can you sear steak without oil?
Cooking steak on the stove without oil is a quick and easy process called pan-searing. Only sear fully thawed meat; otherwise the outside cooks far quicker than the inside. Even searing beef that’s still chilled from being in the refrigerator negatively affects the quality of the finished steak.
