Yep! Use the small saute pan and just keep flipping them so they don't burn. When they are fragrant, they're done.jenniferknapp said:
You can practice the motion with a pan (no heat) and some dry beans. If you use 2 colors of beans you can see how well you're getting things in the pan to move around, as they mix up with eachother. It's fun to do the "TV Chef" wrist flick at a show - totally impress the guests.
