The Deglazing Myth That Might Be Causing Kitchen Confusion - Tasting Table

Despite the common myth, deglazing doesn't require alcohol. In fact, you can use almost any liquid to lift flavor from the pan and build richer sauces.

what's something you've learned that's made your life easier in the kitchen?

Deglazing the pan as a proactive strategy to keep from burning while cooking. For cooking meat, fish, even cauliflower fried rice. These tend to dry up the fat or oil at higher heat settings, so I add cooking saki and leftover wine, or water that's near boiling near the end. If I have marinade, I use that early in the cooking process. I have a set of silicone sauce brushes. I add a few tablespoons of liquid, deglazing as I go. After decanting the food, I'll return the pan to the fire and deglaze in earnest, and pour it as sauce. The sizzling sound makes cooking more fun.
