So accurate and fun to watch 😍

[@UntakenNick]

I always made béchamel sauce adding hot milk to the roux right after cooking it.. now I'm learning that milk has to be cold but it turns out great every time.

There are 2 other good ways of making a sauce. You can thicken by reducing the sauce and that gives you a more modern pan sauce. Another great way to make a thick sauce is by making a caramel and you see that with tomato based bbq sauce and also asian sauces such as teriyaki or hoisin sauce

[@ChefToddMohr]

The easiest way to thicken a liquid or pan sauce is to add something that is thicker than the sauce you already have. Suggestions like caramel, tomato paste, soft cheeses or even pureed vegetables are good ones.

how can we make brown roux

[@davidbergin6184]

Lyza Juabler Keep cooking it. It will darken.

[@jojomama4787]

Lyza Juabler ...yeah,just keep cooking it and it WILL darken but you MUST remember that once it starts to darken you need to lower the heat because that's when it's easy to scorch it.Just keep it moving and watch it for heat and especially pay close attention to the corners of your pot(where horizontal and vertical meet),it's usually there you'll get some burnt stuff that will screw up the sauce...and good luck!

Imagine someone who says "well I have this great cookbook and want to make their bechamel sauce but I can't use flour because I'm gluten free. And no cream or butter because I'm lactose intolerant. I can't make any sauce from this cookbook so I'll need a gluten/lactose-free cookbook and maybe there's a good sauce recipe in it.."

[@ChefToddMohr]

Yes, Ari Haviv being gluten free AND lactose intolerant is very difficult. I'd recommend thickening liquids with cornstarch slurry or arrowroot for those people.
