The teaching series, inspired by her best-selling book "Martha Stewart’s Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook," debuted in October 2012 on PBS stations.

In each 30-minute episode, Martha demonstrates classic cooking techniques and basics. Using her signature step-by-step, how-to teaching process, she illustrates the building blocks of recipes everyone should know (from roasting to poaching to braising and blanching).

Every episode will feature Martha’s tips and tricks, inspiring and educating home cooks everywhere.

"Sautéing" - Sautéing is one of the quickest and most versatile cooking methods. It works well for almost any small cut of meat or fish.

Martha demonstrates how to dredge meat or fish in flour and the importance of cooking over high heat to achieve a perfect, golden-brown finish.

She uses these techniques to cook wiener schnitzel, chicken piccata and sole à la meunière — and shows how to make flavorful pan sauces to serve as accompaniments.

Once you've mastered the art of sautéing, try some of Martha's other favorite recipes: Sauteed Spinach with Golden Raisins, Pork Medallions, Sauteed Mushrooms and Sauteed Shad Roe with Bacon-Butter Sauce and Frisee.
