Sauces and Gravies

Sauce derives its name from a Latin word meaning salted. Sauce is used in different countries in different ways but has normally the same thin consistency. Sauces can be served hot or cold and can be made from a variety of ingredients more well known are mint sauce and tomato sauce. Gravy on the other hand is usually made from the juices from cooked meats incorporating flour and milk to make a thicker gravy to accompany meats such as roast beef, pork and chicken. Gravy is coloured brown by the use of sugars contained in the meat juices that are caramelized to a brown colour. Gravy is then thickened with flour and butter known as a roux. Not all sauce contains a roux such as apple sauce which is often served with roast pork. Although we might think they are the same both sauce and gravies can be made and used in totally different ways. One sure thing no matter sauce or gravy, they both add to the flavour of the dish being eaten. Did you know a chef, who is solely responsible for making sauce in commercial kitchens is known as a "saucier."

What are the three degrees to which a roux sauce can be cooked?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

room temperature

Ans2: Hmm, a room temperature roux...that would take all the fun out of Cajun Napalm.

Your roux will start bubbling as the temperature hits 212° F and all the water boils out of your flour...actually, you should have already had the oil up to about 350° F before you stir in the flour. Keep stirring, the roux will go from mud brown to brick red. Stir, Stir, Stir! If you go past brick red, the roux is burnt and you need to dump it and re-start.

Be ready to quench the roux as soon as you see any red. Kill the heat and dump in the vegetables.

3 degrees? Sounds sort of goofy to me...

  1. Take the oil to around 350° F;
  2. Stir in the flour;
  3. Quench at Brick Red.

Does jar cocktail sauce expire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Store bought, unopened and properly stored: a very long time (at least 18 months).

Opened but well refrigerated: opinions vary, from 3 days to 3 months.

The good news: in both cases, it doesn't become dangerous if you go over the limit (within reason), but it does become less appetizing.

Why is roux a sauce used for thickening?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually, a roux is not a sauce, but is the base for several different sauces and is used as a thickener in many dishes. A roux is made by combining equal parts of fat and starch (usually butter or lard and flour) and cooking it in a pan until the flour taste has been cooked out. The color of a roux depends upon the amount of time you cook it - and the darker the roux, the more flavor it imparts to the dish you are using it in. By adding milk to a roux you are making a bechamel sauce which is used in many lasagna recipes and other dishes. Bechamel sauce is also the base sauce for several other culinary sauces: Mornay sauce (cheese sauce), Mustard sauce, and Sauce Soubise (contains finely chopped onions that are sweated in butter before adding to the sauce) are a few of these.

How long does bolognese sauce last out of fridge?

Asked by Wiki User

I'm no scientist or doctor but I don't think it's a good idea to keep it for more than a week. Having said that I am guilty of eating it after about a week and a half and I didn't get sick. I just made sure I boiled the sauce for a couple of minutes before I added it to the freshly cooked spagetti.

Is gravy really made from animal blood mixed with fat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Of course blood and fat are involved in meat gravy. Gravy is mixing the juices that come from meat (or vegetables), collecting it and usually thickening it with flour or corn starch and adding spices of choice. With meat, gravy is typically the blood that oozes from the meat as it is cooking. The fat that is included is what you will allow. I personally trim as much fat as possible before I cook to ensure that my gravy has lower levels of saturated fats than the gravy from untrimmed meat.

If you would like your curry sauce to be smoother, try putting it in a blender. If you do not have a blender, a mortar and pestle is the old fashioned way. Grind it up.

What is the difference between marinara sauce and pomodoro sauce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ask several people this question and you'll get several different answers. My answer is based on my background. I'm first born generation here in the states and grew up on my mom's and nonna's Italian cooking. My dad is from Campania and my mom is from Calabria. Growing up, we spent many summers with our relatives in Italy and I was schooled in southern Italy for a year. I think a lot of Italians consider the two sauces the same thing. I have a feeling that's what my mom would say if I asked her ("pomodoro" means tomato).

Marinara sauce is a meatless tomato sauce made with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and fresh (never dried) basil and salt, that's it. It simmers for only about 20 minutes. The texture is liquidy but with chunks of tomatoes. Since it simmers for a short period of time it retains a lot of it's bright red/orange color as opposed to a deeper red on sauces that simmer for hours. While some of the olive oil blends with the tomatoes, some of it does not. So the olive oil lends a shimmery orange color to the pasta and maybe even adds a tad velvety texture.

A pomodoro sauce, is a lot like the marinara sauce only it's thicker, but still liquidy. It feels a lot like minced tomatoes in your mouth rather than the chuncks you get with marinara sauce. It's cooked a little longer so it's darker in color but not much.

Most of this content is true...but you missed a very important detail. Marinara sauce is a from of the word mariner...it was originally prepared by Italian fisherman using tomatoes, garlic, basil hot peppers and fish heads. It was served over pasta as a communal meal following the return of the fleet. Today we prepare marinara sauce by substituting anchovies in place of fish heads. It is a very light but full flavored sauce used on pasta or light seafood preparations.
