Title: What temp to simmer on?
Post by: auds on September 04, 2012, 03:00:19 pm

Tonight I tried to convert my Red Wine Jus recipe which I have done countless times on the stove and its been perfect each time.

Its about reducing the liquid until it reaches a certain consistency.  It should yield about 400ml of Jus.

Doing it in the TM by the time it got to the right consistency there would have been 100ml at the most.  I simmered at 100 and wondering if that was too hot and it should have been done at a cooler temp.

Although I cant see how it would make the consistency happen quicker but keeping the liquid volume up.

What is the simmering temp on the TM?

Cheers in advance

Hi thanks for that - I did my simmering on 100 so maybe it was too high.

still dont see how that would affect the reducing to get the right texture

weird  ???

It's quite hard to get things to reduce using the thermothingy . Did you have the MC off? Maybe next time put the basket  over the hole to see if that helps.
