    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    but y not reducing? the main reason for me doing this is to get the taste of the rum on the mushrooms and onions. then mix it with some good old fashion BBQ sauce. and server it with some chicken or a steak, or just do w/e u want

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    but when i do it it does all three things, the point is that when this started all i wanted 2 know is if it was a different word for it. obviously their isn't, bc when i add the alcohol, it deglazes, it flambe's, and it reduces to a sauce that cotes the onions and mushrooms, or w/e im making...

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    k so what im doing is just a combination of a couple things, because im useing the achahol to caramelize the the edges of the onions, wile having it reduce down and add its flavor to the onions and mushrooms. so its a mix of flambeing, and deglazing. that answers my question, all i wanted 2 know...

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    this is my delima, it can be interchangeable. it can b considered deglazing because im adding alcohol, and this is getting rid of the fond from the bottom of the pan, i can b considered flambeing because it flames up, but it could also be considered a reduction, bc after i add it and it flames...

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    yeah, thats what im trying 2 say, its not as simple as a reduction, or a deglaze, bc those are trying to obtain two different things than what i am. calling what im doing deglazing is like calling a reduction, deglazing something just because it uses alcohol. this is y i asked bc the line isnt...

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    i mean, when u add the alcohol, i use rum, when i add it, the flam finished the onions and gives them a darker color, and a little bit of a crisp. you only need 2 put in about 1/2-1 cup of rum a the most, so its not like their simmering in the alcohol. and i know how to deglaze, i just wasn't...

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    and also when i do it, like with another recipe, i use it 2 finish off the onions and mushrooms, its almost like putting them in a broiler 4 a little bit, it adds a little crisp to them.

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    i live in upstate new york, i live in a town called gardiner, im about 2 hours from the city, and yeah, i dont just use it 2 deglaze. the flavor of the spiced rum itself gives the onions and mushrooms a flavor, just like in another recipe i made, i use coconut rum, and this gives it a good...

    What is the correct term for adding alcohol to your pan?

    yeah, its not deglazing. thats when u remove the fat from the pan. alot of the time you use wine, but thats not what im doing in this. im actually using the alcohol to give it flavor.
