Sauces
CONTAINER SIZE

the capacity of the sauce, to avoid boiling
over.
COVERING
DO NOT cover sauces when cooking.
STIRRING – IMPORTANT
Sauces/gravy should be thoroughly stirred
before, during and after cooking, to avoid
any eruptions and to result in a smooth
sauce.
REHEATING
Sauces can be made in advance and
reheated by microwave. Reheat on HIGH
power and stir halfway.
POWER LEVEL

cooking. Sauces containing eggs should be
cooked on SIMMER power.
