Flambé
Flambé (also spelled flambe; pronounced ) is a
cooking procedure in which
alcohol (
ethanol) is added to a hot pan to create a burst of flames. The word means flamed in
French (thus, in French, flambé is a
past participle; the verb is flamber).It is typically done to create an impressive visual presentation at a dramatic point in the preparation of a meal. The flames result from the
combustion of the flammable alcohol, which is quickly consumed, subsequently extinguishing the flames.Although the practice of igniting food for show can be traced to the
Moors in the 14th century, modern flambéing was discovered in
Monte Carlo in 1895, when Henri Carpentier, a waiter, accidentally set fire to a pan of
crêpes he was preparing for the future
Edward VII of the United Kingdom. He discovered that burning the sauce affected its flavor in a way that he could not have anticipated.
