Demi-Glace

This demi-glace is much less pricy than most. The ingredient list may cause you to question at first but the flavor is excellent and the sodium (saltiness) is relatively low. It really gives you a flavor boost of meaty and savory intensity. I have used it once for a pot of soup for 40 with just one tub and another time for a batch of Brunswick stew for 40. For both times, this wasn’t the only source of flavor but was a big part of the flavor driver. I think this product will freeze if you wish to use it over time.

Very convenient and easy to use.

I use Minor’s Sauce Concentrate Demi Glace to fortify my housemade beef sauces, and it adds incredible depth and richness every time. The 13.6-ounce container lasts a long time and is very easy to incorporate into recipes. It enhances the flavor with a smooth, savory finish that really elevates my meals. Perfect for both everyday cooking and special occasions. ✅ Pros: – Deep, rich flavor that enhances sauces – Convenient and easy to use – Good quantity for multiple uses – Perfect for beef and other meats ❌ Cons: – None experienced Tips: Add gradually to sauces and adjust to taste. Store in a refrigerator to maintain freshness. Great base for gravies and stews as well.

Works well to deepen flavor in stocks and gravy Better than most on the market for a good price

Demi glace works by a different mechanism than a bouillon base — it is stock reduced with roasted bones until the gelatin and deep Maillard flavor are fully concentrated, and that gelatin is what gives a finished sauce real body. I have ordered this three times since September 2021, most recently in February, because nothing else in my kitchen does that job. Better Than Bouillon I use across several flavor profiles for building broth from scratch. This is the other tool — the finishing richness you add after deglazing a hot pan, not the foundation you build from. In practice it blends smooth with no starchy texture, and a single spoonful into the fond after searing beef rounds a sauce in a way plain stock never manages. I have pushed it too far once — reducing a sauce aggressively while this was already in it, and the salt concentrated past the point of recovery. Taste as you go, especially on a hard reduction. It is a shortcut, not a substitute for true demi glace simmered from roasted bones over a full day. For weeknight pan sauces and braises where that is not realistic, it fills the gap honestly and earns the rebuy.
