This stuff is known as "fond" and it's commonly used to make flavorful liquids (stock/broth).

There is fond (which can also burn) and then there is charred debris. The former adds umami, the latter tastes like cigar ash.

Wonder if the word fondue is related to fond.

I first read about fondue in Asterix in Switzerland (IIRC). Good fon(due)!
