neutral  Janice Giffin: I see several recipes that include bechamel sauce, which is not browned once it is added as the final touch. See my note.

  -> Yes, I saw and I think it is correct too :)

disagree  Rosanna Palermo: olive oil has a low burn point and requires "medium heat". Oils "fry" not "brown" food.

Warm up the oil over moderate heat


Explanation:
Or...heat the oil over a moderate flame/burner. The idea is not to have the oil hot enough to actually fry any ingredients.

The following recipe includes bechamel sauce, added to the recipe at the end: http://marilumachebonta.blogspot.it/2011/04/puntiglios-in-sa... I don't think the next instruction "far accaldellare
il tutto" means to brown anything, but to warm up or heat through.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Drain and rinse all of the beans. Set aside. HEAT THE OIL OVER MEDIUM HEAT. Add chopped onions and minced garlic."
  • "Method... 1. HEAT THE OIL OVER A MODERATE HEAT in a wide frying pan. Add the onion and fry over a gentle HEAT, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes."
