For cooking meat, fish, even cauliflower fried rice. These tend to dry up the fat or oil at higher heat settings, so I add cooking saki and leftover wine, or water that's near boiling near the end. If I have marinade, I use that early in the cooking process. I have a set of silicone sauce brushes. I add a few tablespoons of liquid, deglazing as I go. After decanting the food, I'll return the pan to the fire and deglaze in earnest, and pour it as sauce. The sizzling sound makes cooking more fun. </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cooking</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Deglazing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deglazing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wine</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/saki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saki</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Cook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cook</span></a></p>
