Reply to comment by bazmonkey in ELI5: Why couldn't something that says "Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes" theoretically be cooked at 6000 degrees for 1 minute? by BitchImLilBaby

That cooking method is called searing. It is great for steaks.

Twice as hot and half as long? Yeah, sometimes it’s what’s intended. I guess my underlying point is that slower/longer and faster/shorter won’t get you the same results. Perhaps good results, but not identical.

Yes, but there a too-hot outside and a too-cold inside is delicious. Pittsburgh Rare is a fine thing.

It's not so great for cooking chicken.
