Thanks for sharing with us, Samanta!
Getting that thick consistency in a demi-glace can definitely be tricky at first ,but you’re really close! One of the keys is to reduce it slowly over low heat, letting the liquid evaporate gradually. It’s also important not to stir too much, so you don’t interrupt the reduction.
Here are a few tips that might help:
▪️ Reduce over low heat: Give it time to thicken naturally.
▪️ Don’t cover the pot: That way the liquid can evaporate.
▪️ Stir just enough: Only to prevent sticking, not constantly.
▪️ Use a wide pot: It reduces faster with more surface area.
You’re doing great, and what matters most is that you’re practicing and learning. We really appreciate you sharing your progress with the community! ☺️
