Good Scald

When a cook has prepared a dish or recipe exceptionally well, they "got a good scald" on it.

Some claim this terminology came from getting a good scald on milk or roux when making gravy. Others claim the term refers to scalding a pig just before butchering.

You got a "good scald" on those biscuits.
