Cooked Tomato Sauces

When making a cooked tomato sauce, it is important to use a non reactive pot such as stainless steel or anodized aluminum. Indeed, tomato has a high level of acidity that might react with the metal of your pot and give a bad ‘metallic’ taste to the food.
Possible issues:
- The sauce is too pale: Add tomato paste
- The sauce is too acid: Add a pinch of sugar
