Turning Vegetable Waste into an Umami Glaze with Chef Douglas McMaster

[@renemyyy]

I don't really get it. What does it mean to reduce it to 107 degrees?

[@cleojodesouza]

So the sugars and starches from the vegetables have been extracted into the water. You are now left with this liquid that you can reduce. Water doesn't reach above 100C however if u reduce this liquid (remove water) ur left with this liquid that can reach a temperature of over 100C. You can reduce it further and it'll get hotter due to more water evaporating and leaving behind more sugar/starches.
