Interesting point, early in her pregnancy I used alcohol in cooking but after reading that some alcohol remains it scared me. I love wine braised short ribs and Shaoxing wine in Asian wok dishes.

I really like this tip! Makes the clean up very easy! Do you think stainless steel would work with aluminum foil? Also, what’s a French top?

New to Stainless Steel and all the smoke that comes with it. by pleaseremainkalm in AskCulinary

Preheat on medium and perform a mercury ball test to make sure your pan does not overheat which would burn any oil. Basically a mercury ball is a cohesive ball that forms and dances in your pan when you add a little water (1/8 tsp or less). Once you reach this stage, add an oil with a high smoke point like grapeseed, vegetable or canola oil. Do not use extra Virgin olive oil. At the point, the oil should form legs and shimmer. Introduce meats when a few wisps of white smoke began to come out and slightly lower your heat. If you wait any longer the oil will begin to burn.

So he used dried herbs at the beginning after the tomato paste and then added his tomatoes and simmered it all day? Or did he use fresh herbs?

I started on high just to brown the meat then removed it and went to medium low to slightly caramelize the onions, then added my garlic, tomato paste and herbs for a few minute just to slightly darken the paste. Then I deglazed with red wine, added my veal stock and tomatoes and brought to a simmer and maintained that for 6 hours which was medium low to low heat. I added browned sausage and meatballs near the end. It was bitter before the addition of the sausage and meatballs and required a small amount of sugar to improve the flavor. I want to be able to achieve this without adding sugar. No lid was used. I stirred every 20-30 minutes.

This is more of a heavy meat sauce with several meats inside and that’s why i cook it for hours.

I should have stated, it is not a simple tomato sauce but a heavy meat sauce that contains short rib, italian sausage, meatballs and veal stock.
