QUESTION 28-What action are you performing when you deglaze a pan?

Correct Incorrect Adding a small amount of liquid to the hot pan's bottom to loosen the browned bits---When cooking foods, the bottom of the pan may accumulate small browned bits and a dehydrated residue of juices. To deglaze the pan, remove the meat and pour a bit of acidic liquid, such as wine or apple cider, into the still-hot pan. The liquid will dissolve and lift the browned bits (known as fond) and caramelization, creating a concentrated sauce.
