What are you doing when you deglaze a pan?
Answer Adding a bit of liquid to the bottom of a hot pan to release the stuck-on brown bits
When you pan fry or roast foods, particularly meats, the bottom of the pan may become coated with little brown bits and even a dark film of dehydrated juices. To deglaze the pan, remove the meat, then add a bit of acidic liquid, such as wine or apple cider (but broth or even water will work) to the still-hot pan. The liquid will release the brown bits (called fond) and caramelization, creating a concentrated sauce to drizzle back over the meat or accompanying vegetables. (Source)
