Useful Cooking Terms 2

Al Dente: An Italian term meaning "to the tooth." Pasta is cooked tender, but still firm. It's still has a slightly resistant consistency when you bite into it.

Deglaze: Add stock, wine or water to the pan after meat has been cooked and removed. When the liquid is added, it loosens the flavor from the pan to make a sauce for the meat.
