deglazes
Adds liquid, scrapes
Deglazes is the third-person singular of deglaze, a cooking technique where liquid is added to a hot pan to loosen browned bits of food stuck to the surface.
These caramelized remnants, called fond, dissolve into the liquid to form the base of a sauce: She deglazes the pan with white wine after searing the chicken.
