Your question is not clearly presented. The stuff that's left where? In the
"cup or something"? Or on the bottom of the pan?

What I call "drippings" and use to make gravy is what's in the bottom of the
pan, less some portion--not all--of the fat that I pour out and throw away.
Drippings include the remaining fat and the partially burned protein/blood
solids on the bottom of the pan, as well as whatever "juices" have not yet
burned or evaporated by the time the roasting is completed.
