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."

Is tomato sauce a substance or a solute?

Tomato sauce is considered a mixture, not a pure substance, because it is composed of various components such as water, tomato solids, herbs, and spices. Within the tomato sauce, the dissolved substances like salt, sugar, and other flavorings would be considered solutes, while the majority of the mixture (water and tomato solids) would be the solvent. Therefore, in the context of tomato sauce, the solutes would be the individual components that are dissolved within the mixture.

HP sauce itself should not directly cause watery diarrhea.

It is important to consult a healthcare professional if persistent or severe symptoms occur.

Can you cook tomato sauce in a stainless steel pot without it tasting like metal?

Yes, you can cook 'acidic' type foods such as tomatoes in stainless steel cookware because it is a non-reactive metal. Porcelain cookware is also non-reactive. What this means is that the materials will not 'react' (produce metal salts/molecules through chemical reactions) with the acids contained in many foods- citrus, tomatoes, etc, so there is no 'metallic' taste to the food. Cast iron and aluminum are both 'reactive metals', and will react with most foods, although I have never noted a metallic taste to foods cooked in this type of cookware, such as coffee in an aluminum coffee pot. Trivia: it was known in folklore that cooking in iron cookware helped prevent anemia, long before it was known to be an iron deficiency illness, and in fact, before it was called anemia!

What does aise mean at the end of sauce names like mayonnaise bearnaise and hollandaise?

The "aise" you're seeing is a French word ending (technically, a morpheme) that suggests "relating to" or "characteristic of." Hollandaise is a sauce (the makeup has changed over time) that was viewed by French chefs to represent the Netherlands (Holland).

The French national anthem is the Marseillaise (named after the French city of Marseille). A popular dance in the 17th century, the Polonaise, was a French version of a Polish musical style.

A similar phoneme is "oise," such as seen in the phrase "methode champenoise." The phrase describes a way of making wine bubbly (like the traditional method from the Champagne region of France) without falsely implying that the wine is made in Champagne by calling it champagne--a practice that is illegal in France.

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

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.

Why is roux a sauce used for thickening?

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.

Is gravy really made from animal blood mixed with fat?

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.

Improving on previous answer:

"'No, that is disgusting! Besides, i am becoming a chef, and the first thing i learned how to make was gravy. Its simply, really!"
