but san marzanos

>>18167325
bleach

>>18167328
People cook tomato sauce for less than an hour? Jesus fucking Christ

>>18167325
Use better tomatoes.

>>18167355
Those people try to cheat by adding sugar to mask the acidity.

>and blasting them with ethylene gas
Is this some kind of American practice? I've never heard of that before.

>>18167401
Ethylene gas is naturally-produced by fruits, what's your point?

>>18167325
I add red wine and beef stock. I start on the stove in a dutch oven then stick it in the oven for a couple hours

>>18167422
That rare fruits are taken and then artificially ripened.

add some NaOH

>>18167325
2 tablespoons baking soda for each cup of tomato sauce

Increase the cooking time. On the other hand, if you want to take a lazy route that won't be nearly as good, add some baking soda.

>>18167325
Less tomatoes

>>18167325
carrot puree

>>18167325
poached onions first, well poached, then incorporate the 'mato and cook some more, literally tastes 100 times bettern than if you added sugar

>>18167325
This guy has a good tip on that:

>cuts ends of the garlic clove
>washes the peeled onion and garlic cloves

>>18167328
what if I cook a big pot of tomato sauce for an entire day while also adding in like 20 cups of sugar

The way to make a sauce that isn't sour is to use ripe tomatoes. Maybe you can get an expensive tin. But the cheapest ones are always sour as fuck.

>>18167803
What's wrong with that?

>>18167806
You'd probably make some weird kind of tomato candy then burn it.

Add baking soda. A pinch for a gallon. Works well and is fast.

>>18167325
MAMA MIA YOU HAVENTA GOTTA DA RIGHTA TOMATO!!! YOU NEEDA DA SWEET TOMATO!!

>>18167806
Then you are using DSP's recipe

>>18167806
A pack of 24 niggers will storm in through the windows of your home and they will take turns beating and raping you for as long as you cooked the sauce

Cut it with heavy cream

Add something basic, then go to detention for being retarded.

buy decent canned tomatoes-- i.e. not Hunt's or Red Gold or that shit. If you want no acid, get San Marzanos

>>18168418
All tomatoes are acidic, there's no such thing as tomatoes with "no acid". You can definitely get different amounts of acidity from different varieties but don't be retarded and pretend any are not acidic at all.

>>18167368
Stop repeating this meme.

>>18167325
>>18168432
Yellow tomatoes are a lot less acidic and sweeter than red ones. I don't know why people never mention them. Try them sometime.

>>18167325
This guy says to use baking soda

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfRAcBymFak

>>18168457
Yes he's cracked the code, if you add something with a high ph to something acidic it will raise the mixture's overall ph, who knew.

>>18168460
Why act like a cunt about good advice?

>>18168464
Because you're a retarded faggot

Orange juice

>>18168464
Being scientifically accurate doesn't automatically make it good advice. Yes adding baking soda to a tomato dish will raise its ph and make it less acidic, but chances are if you feel the need to do that you've already fucked the dish beyond recovery. The only actual good advice is "don't be retarded" or "buy better ingredients next time"

>>18167921
i have never in my life seen someone wash an onion or garlic

>>18168522
>He hasn't experienced Marie

Jesus Christ who let this child in here

>>18167660
>if you added sugar
do people add sugar?

>>18168550
(((People))) do

>>18168501
Or use baking soda as you admit it works just fine. Have you ever tried it btw?

>>18168577
If your only goal is to lessen acidity yes it works fine, but I'm usually more concerned with making something that tastes good personally.

>>18167325
JUST YELL AT IT TO TONE THE FUCKIN ACID DOWNNNNNN

>>18168583
Oh cool so like that is the answer to OP's question then. Glad we could figure it out together.

>>18168604
Yeah, it's been said multiple times already by several people that OP is fucking stupid for not already knowing this, not sure why you're offended on his behalf

>>18168613
Nah just happy you admitted that baking soda was the solution

>>18168650
Nobody ever said otherwise dipshit, people in civilized countries learn that shit in kindergarten. The only thing that was disputed was whether it was "good advice" when you got your panties in a twist about someone on 4chan being mean to you for being retarded.

dance my little puppets, i am the hand in charge of your strings

>>18168687
You are the hand in charge of giving your fucking balls a tug, your parents will never love you and your pasta sauce tastes like shit, guaranteed.

>>18168665
Yeah yeah but baking soda is the answer to OP's question and I got you admit it no matter how much you whine about it

>>18168702
I got you to admit a thing you already said unprompted and never disagreed with.

Good job, here's another one: I agree that you are severely autistic and have an IQ in the single digits.

>>18168708
Damn got you so heated you went back to your normal redditposting style. Bakingsodachads are king tonight it seems

>>18168713
Take your meds

>>18168718
Nah but I will drink my electrolytes (I use baking soda for that too btw)

>>18168722
Drink a stronger base while you're at it, I'd recommend bleach or lye personally.

>>18168730
Damn not only have I ruined baking soda for you (your humiliation tonight will be remembered everytime you come across the humble b-soda) but now the reveal of your redditness has caused a meltdown. You know what's a good way to reduce that high blood pressure you have right now from all that seething? Add some baking soda to your water. While your family may have forsaken you the saviour of tomato sauces will not

>>18168759
Add some baking soda to your blood, go straight to the source

>>18168759
Damn nigga that's crazy, I'm not reading all that shit. Good luck with that thing though.

Less acidic?
I add a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to make it MORE acidic
Give me that tasty tasty tartness

>>18167440
get a load of this nerd

>>18167325
Add less acid.

>>18167325
use riper tomatoes, or some tomato paste
Also, some of the tartness is tempered when you have pork fat in your sauce.

When I make a big tray of lasagna, I am using a can of crushed in puree, plus a can of sauce, plus a can of tomato paste. It will be flavored with italian sausage as well as ground sirloin. Even when I use a storebrand (Publix) tomatoes, it's never sour nor sweet.

What the fuck happened to this thread?

>>18168450
Feel like the couple times I had yellow tomato sauce the flavor just doesn’t pop anymore. It’s like a subdued version of regular sauce.
