用法筆記

More often called simply 'glaze' in cooking and ceramics; 'glazing' tends to describe the coating once applied or the activity of applying it. Subject contexts split cleanly: pottery (kiln-fired ceramic glaze), food (sweet or savoury liquid brushed on), and fabric (gloss finish from pressing).

常見錯誤

❌I poured the glazing into the cup.
✅I poured the glaze into the cup.
💡before it's applied, use 'glaze'. 'Glazing' is the coating once it sits on a surface, or the act of putting it there.
