]]> “Deglazing” is a cooking term you may have come across in several recipes. But what does it really mean and how do you do it properly? Don’t worry. We’ve got all your questions answered right here. 

What Is Deglazing

Deglazing is a cooking technique that involves adding a liquid, such as wine, broth, or vinegar to a hot pan to loosen and dissolve flavorful browned bits of food stuck to the pan’s surface. 

Why Deglazing Matters

The browned bits contain concentrated flavors that you can incorporate into a sauce or dish. The liquid used for deglazing is also perfect for creating a base for your sauces or gravies. 

Steps to Properly Deglaze a Pan

Start by cooking your protein or vegetables in a hot pan. Allow them to develop a golden-brown crust.If necessary, pour off any excess fat from the pan, leaving behind the browned bits.

With the pan still hot, pour a flavorful liquid into it. Use a wooden spoon or a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan, loosening and incorporating the browned bits into the liquid. This action releases their flavors into the sauce.

Allow the liquid to simmer and reduce. Add seasonings, herbs, or other ingredients to further enhance the sauce and enjoy!

Well, if you don’t want to go wasting an entire bottle of wine, there are plenty of things for you to make with it that will turn it into something entirely new and delicious. Follow these recipes and not let a drop go to waste.

Sangria

When in doubt, make a sangria! This works with all types of wine, including bubbly! You can also manipulate it to have it be more of your flavor profile. If the wine is too sweet, add something tart to it like cherry juice. If the wine isn’t sweet enough, add orange or apple juice.

Risotto

One of the key ingredients to risotto is wine. If you aren’t satisfied with your wine, that is a great place to put it. The reason why is because the alcohol and the flavor cook out of the wine so what you’re left with is a creamy risotto without any hint of a disappointing wine bottle.

Deglazing

Another way to use up wine is by making it a deglazing liquid. If you are cooking vegetables or any ingredient on a high heat and you want to scrape the bottom and get all the good flavor out, use a dash of wine.
