I think igniting it "burns" the alcohol bite off quicker. I usually opt to just deglaze with liquor because I'm scared to burn down my apartment hahaha. I've done it before (in smaller pans, this was a big pot) and haven't noticed a huge difference in taste. Maybe just a timing difference.

Now I'm just embarrassed I misspelled "ignite" not just one but twice. I was arguing aloud with the spellcheck on my phone for suggesting other words (yet none of which was "ignite"). Not sure if I need cold medication, more coffee, or sleep. Probably all of the above.
