In many restaurants, food is often flambéed to impress diners; especially some types of crepes, strawberries, or even meats. Follow this step-by-step guide and discover how to flambé any dish and thus impress your guests.
To flambé a dish you need:
• The type of alcoholic beverage you choose; whiskey or cognac for savory dishes and brandy or rum for desserts.
• The ingredients of the dish you are going to prepare; in this case for Foster Bananas:
• 1 stick of butter
• ½ cup of brown sugar
• 4 bananas
• ¼ cup of rum.

When it's time to flambé, pour the drink into a small container; never pour directly from the bottle, as it could catch fire and explode.

With great care, tilt your pan and try to ignite it with the stove flame, or if you prefer, you can use a lighter.

Do it quickly to prevent the alcohol from evaporating before you try to flambé your dish.
