Question

question 7
in saute, you coat a food item in flour and stack or overlap the items. what will be the result?
o the food item will become pasty.
o the food item will not evenly brown.
o the food item will quickly absorb the fat and not brown.
o the food item will sweat, causing the flour to absorb the fat.

Explanation:

When food items are coated in flour and stacked or overlapped during sautéing, moisture from the food (sweating) causes the flour to absorb liquid excessively. This leads to a pasty texture as the flour - liquid mixture becomes thick and gluey instead of achieving a proper browning (which requires even heat exposure without excess moisture - flour interaction).

Answer:

The food item will become pasty.
