What does GRATIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dish topped with a browned crust of breadcrumbs, cheese, or both, or the crust itself.
A gratin is finished under a hot grill or in a very hot oven so that the top layer of breadcrumbs, cheese or cream browns into a light, crisp crust while the food underneath stays soft. The word comes from French and is related to gratter, to scrape, because the crisp crust used to be scraped from the sides of the cooking dish. Potatoes are the most familiar base for a gratin, but the same treatment is applied to vegetables, pasta and seafood. In French cookery a small oval baking dish is itself sometimes called a gratin dish.
