The flambe just needs to fire off the liquor. So what we're going to do is start with a hot pan and I'm just going to use mushrooms as an example here. Going to saute up some mushrooms and to add the flavor of the liquor without the alcohol I'm going to pour in the alcohol. When I do this it's going to catch on fire. You want to very very careful. You never want to pour from the bottle or the whole bottle could catch on fire. If your liquor doesn't catch on fire because you have an electric stove you can just use a flame thrower and that will go ahead and ignite the liquor for you. Just be very careful.
