Tips & tricks

Always taste the stock before salting the sauce. Stock can vary greatly in saltiness, and it is easier to adjust at the end than to fix a sauce that has already become too salty.

Did you know?

A good pan sauce is about preserving the flavor of the stock and giving it the right consistency. Stirring in butter at the end adds shine and a rounder mouthfeel without making the sauce heavy. Soy sauce can add extra umami, but should be used carefully since stock may already be salty.
