How do I make sauces thicker? I like sauce a little burnt, because after I'm done cooking whatever I'm cooking, the dark caramelized bits are sweet and tangy. Is this considered bad cooking?

add starch

Depends on what kind of sauce you're making. Gravy and curry sauces: use roux (butter + flour)

Reduce for longer, or corn starch/flour.

Cornstarch, xanthan gum.
It isn't bad cooking, but calling that stuff "caramelized" is bad language.
>>
or make a roux

Arrowgood is good for a lot of things. If a chili or a stew then some masa harina.

For arrowroot add that at a lower temperature for best results, for masa harina then make a slurry then add it or it'll clump up and cause bad times.

Burnt = caramelized, see: mailliard reaction.

Mix cornstarch and water until cornstarch dissolves, slowly add more and more every few minutes until it's a little thinner than you actually want it.

This.
Ive been dicking around with different roux and thickening agents though and I recently learner about a roux with cream instead of butter and shit is pretty good.

kill yourself, they are different things.

Keep a can of Wondra around. It will thicken about anything without all the hassle of making a roux or cornstarch slurry.
>>
Add a bit of blood, it thickens sauces quite nicely.
>>
you can also use tapioca flour

sshhhhh, the modern man can't deal with the fact their meat came from animals and typically only buy boneless/skinless garbage.

Corn starch
Arrow root
