Class: Pan Sauces
We’ve all seared something in a pan and been left with all those little browned bits stuck to the bottom. That’s fond, and that’s flavor! In this class, we’re going to put it to work. We’ll talk about deglazing, reducing, when to add stock, how to finish a sauce with butter and, most importantly, how to taste and adjust as you go.
We’ll put it all into practice with mushrooms on grilled toast and a sherry pan sauce, a simple shrimp scampi with white wine, garlic, lemon and plenty of butter, then finish with seared pork chops and a cider mustard pan sauce, served with buttery mashed potatoes and braised cabbage and apples.
This one is less about memorizing recipes and more about understanding what’s happening in the pan, so the next time you sear something at home, you’ll know exactly what to do with all that flavor left behind.
Seasonality Note
Our menus are guided by the season and shaped by the best available ingredients from local growers, bakeries, and purveyors. Selections, produce, baked goods, and accompanying elements may vary slightly to reflect peak freshness, quality, and availability.
Price includes gratuity.
Beverages will be available throughout the event for purchase.
Photo and video may be captured. Let us know in advance if you prefer not to be included.
