    Yeah, like @Sentenial@lemmy.ml said, the maillard reaction makes stuff taste nice! Compare a boiled potato to a roast potato and see which is better - it usually takes more time to roast over boiling but it’s worth it.

      This applies to meat as well. Imo there’s a big flavor improvement to a stew made with seared meat vs one where the meat was added raw to the stew.
