Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déglacer
Introduction to the verb déglacer
The English translation of the French verb déglacer is “to deglaze.” It is pronounced as “day-glah-say.”
The word déglacer comes from the French prefix “de-” meaning “to remove” and the verb “glace” meaning “ice.” In cooking, déglacer refers to the process of using a liquid (such as stock or wine) to dissolve the browned bits of food stuck to the bottom of a pan after searing or roasting. This creates a flavorful sauce to accompany the dish.
In everyday French, déglacer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the tense used to talk about completed actions in the past that happened before another past event. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Passé Simple tense and adding the past participle form of the verb.
Three simple examples of déglacer in the Passé Antérieur tense with their English translations are:
- J’eus déglacé le fond de la casserole avant de servir le poulet. (I had deglazed the bottom of the pan before serving the chicken.)
