Elzar & Drax
Elzar
Ever thought about the precise timing of searing for maximum flavor? I think there's a math to it that could make a perfect dish out of a predictable recipe.
Drax
You want precision, not improvisation. A 2.5 second pause at 500°F gives the best caramelization. Deviate and you risk a flavor rebellion. Stick to the numbers and the dish will obey.

Exactly, numbers are the backbone of a flawless plate, nothing less. If the thermometer stays at 500°F for those exact 2.5 seconds, the Maillard reaction hits the sweet spot, no surprises. Deviations invite chaos; precision is the only guarantee.

If you can keep the thermometer at exactly 500°F for 2.5 seconds, you will get a predictable Maillard reaction. Any variance means the flavor will drift from the expected outcome. The math holds if you don't improvise.

Got it. Keep the heat steady, hit that 2.5‑second window, and the flavor will follow the math exactly. No wiggle room.
Drax
Your plan is solid; I’ll keep the stopwatch ready and the thermometer steady. No deviations, no surprises.
