 I love cooking with alcohol, at home that is. My favourites are Single Malt Scotch or a full bodied red. Sometimes I sip on a beer but I never ever do cognac.  Kuan      |

| May I recommend tasting, in a properly warmed (not heated) brandy snifter, some high quality armangnac or even calvados? Just about 5 - 10 cc's in the glass will do, enough to savour a highly delicate aroma. What a truly exquisite experience. Last edited by kokopuffs : 02-15-2002 at 12:27 PM. |

| DEGLAZING To deglaze: 1. Reduce the heat (or flame) to the vessel. 2. Squeeze some lemon into the fond (pan drippings). Swirl. 2. Add enough wine to cover the bottom of the pan. Reduce SLIGHTLY. 3. To the reduction add some stock or creme. Reduce to a desireable thickness. 4. Feed me. -T Last edited by kokopuffs : 02-15-2002 at 12:16 PM. |

| Thanks for the tips kokopuffs. It always so easy to read the recipes ! You think that you can prepare everything. In tip number 4 you forgot " Shut up and feed me"

| Vinegar is great for deglazing. It leaves a sweet taste. No it doesn't taste like vinegar, the acid just evaporates, must be like alcohol.
