Greenwashing is a major problem. Companies will say they are using practices that benefit the environment while really not taking any steps to do so. An example is Terracycle - a company that is supposedly able to recycle non-recyclable plastics and by-products - but which went over a year without collecting products from any of their customers. How can consumers navigate the labels to determine if products are actually sustainable.
Before slow cooking a meat (for example, in a crockpot/slow-cooker) you will often find instructions to sear the meat on high heat in an oiled skillet for a few minutes before transferring it to the crockpot. The searing is brief – not long enough to cook the meat thoroughly. Despite myth/legend, the searing will not “seal in the juices”. What is the searing for?
