Dumb food question

bright.ton42 — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 04:16:01 GMT

I've just bought a bottle of Mustard Honey & Herb which I thought was a sauce but it says Marinade.

I don't want to use it as a marinade but simply as sauce on the cooked meal, does anyone know if I can do this or does the sauce have to be cooked?

Given - I am an ace in the room with the stainless steel thingy.

Could you heat the marinade - then cool to use as sauce.

nah...dont use it as a sauce.

marinade is stronger, more acidic.

Just checking your Q is - Does the marinade need to be cooked to be eaten?

The A is No, it doesnt, its just thicker than a sauce.

If it is the Mfoods one, its fine to use as a sauce- its the vege gum- xanthan which thickens it.. you might want to loosen it and add a bit of hot water( just a tspn) to make it more runny.

PS I cook, a lot..and eat a lot! I wouldnt be taking it back. Waste of time.

Make sure you put it in the fridge once its open.

and bright, there are no dumb food Qs..

Re: Dumb food question

bright.ton42 — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 05:26:10 GMT

Nothing special.... I don't really do 'special' I'm so hopeless sob. . Probably a beef stir fry. The sauce should really lift it up.

Haven't been game to post in the whats for din thread as just about everyone here is a cordon bleu cook in my eyes.

i dont see why 'thickness' would be an issue.

mustard sauce would be ticker than marinade.

its the acid and oil used in it to tenderize the

meat that wouldn't make it pleasant to taste/

eat as sauce.

You - at least - seem to know where the kitchen is.

Some are that challenged.

that should be ok.

just stir it through while still cooking.

i thought you were going to use it as

a mustard sauce as in hot dogs,

sandwiches etc.

I would still use it as a marinade and then stir fry the lot.

If you're doing a stir fry, then you wouldn't pour the sauce on after it was cooked

Couple of tips..say you are stirfrying vegies and beef..

Cut everything up into similar sized pieces.

Hot wok or pan, put the oil in.

Wait for the oil to heat, then in with the onions, then any hard vegies...(like carrots or capsicums) when the onions are cooked,

throw the beef in, and keep it moving...last is the sauce.

Dont put the sauce in until the meat is cooked- otherwise it will make the meat rubbery..eww

Please post in the din thread- theres no competition

We all experiment there- I think cause we all like eating..

youve got a sauce and a marinade!

imastawka — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 05:38:34 GMT

This meat's rubbery

Grad you rike it
