Acronyms in the Cooking language

EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive oil

OO = Olive Oil

S&P = Salt and Pepper

Deglaze = Mostly done with alcohol .
Make sure that you don’t get it into the flame of your stove; since the propane liquefies and your food then tastes like propane.
Yeah it looks cool; but that about it.
The reason we light our food it to evaporate the alcohol; so that you get only the taste in the end.

Deglaze can be done with many liquids. Wine, various vinegars, acidic fruit juices. I most often deglaze pan-sautéed vegetables with balsamic or red wine vinegar, though wine is the classic for meat.

If you're doing meats, fish, or vegetables in a pan this is a technique that amps up the flavor with very little effort... and for meats can be the beginning of gravy or a soup stock.
