Swipe to learn about this crucial step after searing. ➡️

Top restaurants achieve that incredible depth of flavour in their gravy, sauce or jus by tapping into what's already in the pan. Deglazing starts with the fond - the delicious, concentrated bits left behind after searing meat or vegetables.

At The Hurst Campus, true chef training goes far beyond recipes- it's built on core technical mastery. From fundamental sauce-making and deglazing to heat management, we teach the essential skills that empower our students to excel anywhere in the industry. 👩‍🍳
