Making a sauce dip at home for your fried, grilled or sautéed viand is a great idea to try something different that cannot just be bought in the groceries and supermarkets. The touch of specialty can be shown here. You may opt yourself to look away from regular sauces once in a while and try something new. Here are some tips for you in making a sauce you will surely love to make and dip with your favorite viands.

•    First of all, you really have to prepare all the necessary ingredients in making the sauce.  This avoids confusion and allows you to do the sauce-

making swiftly since all the provisions are at hand already. Do this thing at one time.

•    Use the proper pan, the one that is really intended for making sauces. The sauce pan you use should be made of materials that can conduct enough heat for the entire pan. Do not use non-stick pans for we all do not want to have burnt sauce.

•    Simmer the sauce until it has thickened into your desired thickness. If you think its thickness is already enough to coat the spoon, it is ready to be served. Do not allow it to boil for it might burn. It will foam up and eventually it will be spilled over the top of the pan.

•    Do not stay away from the sauce pan or you might end up sorry. The sauce might get burnt. Always keep your eye on the stove. Though you may take a few steps away and prepare for the meal or set the table, just make sure you are still very near the stove to stir or lessen the heat if required.

•    Mount your sauce by adding a tab or two of unsalted cold butter to your sauce when you finished simmering it. This mounting adds flavor, smoothness and shine to the sauce.
