    A dramatic flambé cooking technique is being performed on a commercial gas stove, with large orange and yellow flames rising from a cast iron skillet. Two cast iron pans are visible on the burner grates, both containing what appears to be sautéed onions. The intense flames suggest alcohol has been added to the pan intentionally or oil has ignited during high-heat cooking.
