FLAMES IN THE KITCHEN! This image shows a chef doing a flambé.

The chef does a flambé because it looks spectacular to watch, and it

may add extra flavour to the meal. You can watch a video at
https://youtu.be/Dt3vNIHntJY.

To carry out a flambé, a chef adds a drink that contains alcohol

(ethanol) like a brandy or cognac to the pan. The high temperature of
the pan causes the ethanol to evaporate and then catch fire.

It is important to select a drink that contains at least 40% by volume ethanol. However, drinks with very high
alcohol content are considered too dangerous to use by professional chefs.

The term flambé is a French word meaning to make a flame.

 Complete the sentences to explain how a flame is made when carrying out a flambé.

 ETHANOL: Uses and benefits

Personal Care Products

Ethanol is a common ingredient in many cosmetics and beauty products. It acts as an astringent to help
clean skin, as a preservative in lotions and to help ensure that lotion ingredients do not separate, and it
helps hairspray adhere to hair.
Because ethanol is effective in killing microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and viruses, it is a common
ingredient in many hand sanitizers. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) recommends the use of hand sanitizers in situations where soap and water are not available.
Practicing hand hygiene is also an important part of helping to stop the spread of COVID-19. Using hand
sanitizers or alcohol based hand rubs (ABHR) can help to inactivate SARS-CoV-2, the strain of coronavirus
that causes COVID-19.

Household Products
Ethanol mixes easily with water and many organic compounds, and makes an effective solvent for use in
paints, lacquers and varnish, as well as personal care and household cleaning products. As an additive to
cleaning products, ethanol is also used as a preservative because it is effective in knocking out organisms
that could pose a danger to consumers.

Food Additives
As a food additive, ethanol can help evenly distribute food coloring, as well as enhance the flavor of food
extracts. For example, vanilla extract, a common food flavoring, is made by curing and processing vanilla
beans in a solution of ethanol and water. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
only allows vanilla to be called “extract” when it has an alcohol or ethanol base.

Fuel
More than 97 percent of U.S. gasoline contains ethanol, typically in a mixture called E10, made up of 10
percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline, to oxygenate the fuel and reduce air pollution. Ethanol has a
higher octane number than gasoline, providing premium blending properties, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy. Minimum octane number requirements prevent engine knocking and maintain
drivability.
