"Thou shall not kill. Thou shall not commit adultery. Don't eat pork. I'm sorry, what was that last one?? Don't eat pork. God has spoken. Is that the word of God or is that pigs trying to outsmart everybody?" -John Stewart

The refrigerator light goes on...

Searing meat does not take a lot of oil. The key is a hot pan and to leave the meat alone. It seems that the pork is sticking to the pan, but as the proteins cook, the meat will shrink slightly and the surface caramelizes. That is the point at which the pork will release from the pan. Turn it over and repeat. It requires patience and one technique is to shake the pan slightly. When the meat is ready to turn it will shake away from being stuck to the pan.

It has been disproven that searing meat helps retain the moisture and juiciness.
