Tips
- When cooking bacon, drain the oil using a simmering basket and do NOT pour oil down the sink.
- For the first 30 minutes of reducing liquid, you may want to place the empty simmering basket on the lid to act as a splash guard while evaporation continues through the hole.
- Check the consistency and choose your preference; you can process for 2-4 seconds on speed 4 for smoothness, or keep it chunkier.
- Keep in mind that the sauce will solidify when cooled.
