When I cook something in my metal pan with oil (like meat), there is brown stuff leftover. Is that Tarnish?

all depends on what your pan is made of. Stainless steel pans will often have a brown discoloration left when cooked at high heats, you just have to get stainless steel cleaner and clean them, constantly. that is, if you mind the discoloration, but it's no big deal if you don't mind it. I doubt you're talking about Fond, not found, or pan drippings, which is used to make a gravy. and it is important what your pan is made of, because your different pans do different things at different temps. I'm guessing it's either aluminum, or stainless steel, and in that case, when at high heat, they will have a brown discoloration, as I stated. if copper, copper tarnishes very easily, and you have to constantly clean it with a copper cleaner.When I cook something in my metal pan with oil (like meat), there is brown stuff leftover.

You don't say what kind of metal it is. Steel and aluminum don't tarnish, and cast iron will rust if not dried quickly or enameled. However, even with oil, what you're cooking can still stick a little bit, so what you're finding is probably just burned-on food. It should clean up just fine with a scouring pad.When I cook something in my metal pan with oil (like meat), there is brown stuff leftover. Is that Tarnish?
That ';brown stuff'; is called found and it's crispy bits of seasoning and blood. It is also the stuff that makes cream and pan gravy so good. There are several ways to remove it and to use it.


1) ';deglasing';. Add wine, water, stock, broth or juice to lift up the found and thicken by reduxing (simmering until the liquid is 1/2) or cornstarch.


2) Roux. Add 1-2 tablespoons of flour to the pan until you have a nice thick paste then add milk, cream, stock, broth or combo until you have a classic pan gravy.
it is what makes gravy...add1/4 cup water and stir and boil for a minute. serve over mashed potatoes
It's not tarnish. I don't remember the name for it, but it's similar to drippings. You scrape it and mix it with wine or equal amounts of flour and butter to make an awesome sauce.

That sounds rust, but when you cook meat you always have something left in the pan so you will have the drippings to make the gravy with, add a little corn starch and water stir and make the gravy
it is a mixture of sugar and fat with a little protein and some flavors. There is a lot of flavor in it if depending on the temperature you allow it to get. Some people add a little water, then flour adn it is gravy. To get rid of it, just put a little water with it and boil it over high heat, then rinse it away. If you do, you are missing something good.
Gravey?..maby?
broth.
