SAUCES AND GRAVIES

Sauces and gravies are foolproof when made in the
microwave oven. Scorching, sticking, overcooking are
no longer problems when the sauces are cooked in a
glass measure with a handle. The sauce cooks more
evenly, but it is pourable. Select a sizable utensil that is
double the size of the recipe to allow for bubbling up
and prevent spilling over.
It is important to stir frequently to prevent lumps,
especially after mixture has boiled. A whisk is helpful to
stir cooked areas into those that are not yet thickened.

Sauces add a nice touch of variety to menus. They can
be made ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator
until ready to reheat and serve. If you wish to add a
sauce or gravy to cooked meats, it is best to heat the
sauce fully first, then add the meat and cook for 1 to 2
minutes to heat thoroughly. This method prevents
overcooking the meat.
