  • 1. Clear your airspace. No towels, hands, faces or eyebrows over the pan.
  • 2. Make sure you have lid, larger than the pot, to cover the pan if things go wrong and a pair of tongs to handle it with.
  • 3. Make sure you know where your fire extinguisher is.
  • 4. Turn the heat off.
  • 5. Pour a shot of the tequila (or any other liquid).
  • 6. Wait a few seconds for the first sizzle to finish.
  • 7. Light up the flambé with a long match or lighter (preferred).
  • 8. Turn the heat back on, to medium.
  • 9. Take your pictures for Facebook etc.
  • 10. Wait till the fire dies out.
