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 is the difference between spaghetti sauce and enchilada sauce?
The basic ingredients are the same. In fact, any tomato sauce recipe can be used as a spaghetti or pasta sauce or as a pizza sauce.
However, pizza sauce should have a thicker consistency than most spaghetti sauces. Watery sauces will soak the crust and leave you with a soggy pizza.
If leftover or store bought spaghetti sauce is going to be used on pizza, as is with no 'doctoring', reduce the sauce by simmering in a sauce pan until it has the consistency of a thick pancake batter.

Why does a milk based cheese sauce curdle when making scalloped potatoes or macaroni and cheese?
I am not sure by any means, but my first instinct is that that the heat is to high causing separation, OR an ingredient is causing a kind of "oil and water" type of separation.
Procedure or technique may be the solution.
How to prevent your sauce from breaking:Sauce breaking or curdling is caused by typically a combination of mistakes. High heat is the most common, but even this can be offset by continued stirring.
To prevent your sauce from breaking, start with the right based, or roux.
To any type of rendered fat or oil add (by sprinkling and mixing--light wisking) flour over medium heat in a heavy sauce pot. Continue wisking until the oil and flour combine and become a light paste. Continue heating and wisking until your roux reaches the color or carmelization your desire (a light, nutty brown or beige is good for most sauces).
To continue this base to a cheese sauce, add milk, half and half, cream, or a combination to the roux, stirring as you add the liquid. When your mixture begins to become creamy, add shredded cheese and continue to stir, reducing the heat to low.

Is it safe to serve marinara sauce in a heavy aluminum pan?
Yes, some cooks prefer them for their lightweight design.
Addition: Yes, as long as it is not cast aluminum.
The cast aluminums are high in oxides and are also porous. Very seldom are pots cast out of a LM6 grade of aluminums. This is your higher casting grade which have little oxides and have a higher copper zinc magnesium content. The extruded based aluminums, which are used for high quality pressing of aluminum plate, foils, etc., are stable and are commonly used for baking pans and are safe for use. In fact, using pan like this will give you a far better bake than you will get with glass or tin dishes, due to the fact that aluminum is a great conductor and distributor of heat.

It depends on how many dishes you are serving needing gravy. For instance, meatloaf and mashed potatoes will need about 1/2 cup of brown gravy per portion. that would require about 3 gallons for 100 people. But, if you are also serving a chicken dish with a cream gravy, that may need another 2 gallons of cream gravy for 100 people. Normally I expect 1/3 cup gravy for each portion requiring gravy. so for 100 people per portion it's a bit more than 2 gallons of gravy.
