Food and Cooking

Topic for discussion... I'm generally poor at using an appropriate amount of oil when cooking. If you use too little oil, the food tends to burn (not brown) and generally doesn't cook as well or as fast. On the other end if you use too much oil the food ends up greasy. I tend to err on the side of too much oil, but I'd love to be schooled on how better to proportion the amount of oil I need in a pan when cooking something down.
