Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some famous sauces locked?
SaucierAI uses a 'Family Tree' model. Just as a Demi-Glace requires a Brown Stock, certain advanced sauces are locked until you master the foundational techniques required to make them successfully.
What is a 'Sauce Family'?
It's a group of sauces sharing a common base. For example, the 'White Family' covers everything from Béchamel to Mornay, teaching you how one technique evolves into many dishes.
Do I need professional equipment?
No, but we focus on professional standards. A whisk, a heavy-bottomed pan, and basic ingredients are all you need to start your journey from amateur to saucier.
How does the AI help me cook?
Chef Auguste provides real-time guidance during 'Cooking Mode', explaining textural changes and troubleshooting common issues like 'broken' emulsions.
How does the AI help me troubleshoot sauce mistakes?
If your sauce begins to separate or curdle (like a split Hollandaise or Mayonnaise), you can ask Chef Auguste for help. The AI chef will diagnose the issue and provide specific culinary physics rescues (such as mounting with a splash of warm water) to save your sauce in real-time.
