Sauté, spread

Do you use the word 'sauté' when you talk about cooking or is it not very common?

For instance: "I sautéd the aubergines in a pan and then I added potatoes."

When you spread butter on a toast and then drizzle honey on it, the honey sometimes runs off it. Could I use the word 'drip off' in this case? ("The honey keeps dripping off the toast. It's too thin and runny.")

Thank you.
