How To Deglaze A Pan

To deglaze a pan after removing cooked meat and/or vegetables, and the excess fat, add a little liquid - usually water or stock - to the pan while still on the heat. Scraping the pan helps the liquid lift all the little bits stuck on the bottom. Blend everything together to create a good simple sauce. It can be seasoned and used as is or added to the next stage of cooking.
