These tips will give you the inside scoop on ways to use Knorr Professional Sauces beyond what might be printed on the label and help you take the ordinary to Extraordinary with Knorr.

How: Combine equal parts hollandaise with pureed roasted vegetable (like carrots or roasted peppers). Thin out slightly with water and fresh citrus (like lemon, lime or orange).

Why: Creates an entirely new sauce with different characteristics which pairs well with seafood due to its delicate yet flavorful qualities.

How: Use instead of a béchamel sauce for a creamy, decadent gratin.

Why: Sauce does not "break" like a traditional hollandaise sauce. It holds up to the heat of the oven and brûlées, turning golden brown and bubbly.

How: Add in powdered format to tomato sauce.

Why: Gives the sauce a rich, meaty flavor. It's perfect for the base of a Bolognese or other meat sauce.

How: Use as the base for many other sauce variations. Add an alcohol like red wine, brandy, or port along with other ingredients for flavor like shallots, herbs, or mustard.

Why: Saves hours of time and labor to have the base sauce always ready, and it easily transforms into compound sauces in small batches, reducing waste.
