Wise to the Word
Sauté: The word sauté actually comes from the French sauter, “to jump.” The jumping describes the constant motion of the food in the pan, which is caused by constant stirring and/or shaking the pan. Sautéing usually requires only a small amount of oil (or butter) in a very hot pan, an environment in which keeping things moving is a top priority.
