Knorr Demi-Glace Sauce Mix 28 oz Canister — Concentrated Brown Sauce Base, Rich Umami

Knorr Demi-Glace Sauce Mix is a concentrated brown-sauce base that delivers deep, savory flavor and a velvety finish for pan sauces, gravies, and classic French reductions.

This 28‑ounce canister contains a professional-style demi‑glace mix designed to simplify making restaurant‑quality brown sauces at home or in a busy kitchen. It’s formulated to build rich umami depth quickly, so you can transform pan drippings, roasted meats, vegetables, or soups into glossy, flavorful sauces without starting from scratch. The mix dissolves easily and adapts well to reductions and finishing touches like butter or wine.

How do I use Knorr Demi-Glace Sauce Mix in a weeknight pan sauce?

To make a fast pan sauce, deglaze the pan with stock, wine, or water after searing meat; whisk in the demi‑glace mix and simmer until the sauce thickens to coat a spoon. Finish with a pat of butter or a splash of cream for shine and balance. It’s especially handy for rescuing lean cuts that need extra flavor.

• Measure mix per package directions for desired intensity
• Use pan drippings and a deglazing liquid (wine, stock, or water)
• Simmer briefly for reduction and finish with butter or herbs

Can this mix be used as a base for different brown sauces?

Yes — the demi‑glace mix is a versatile foundation that accepts additions like mushrooms, shallots, mustard, or aromatics to create classic sauces (e.g., bordelaise, mushroom, or peppercorn). Because it provides concentrated body and savory notes, you can customize seasoning and liquids to match the dish. It shortens preparation time while maintaining layered taste.

• Add sautéed mushrooms and cream for a mushroom demi‑glace
• Stir in red wine and beef stock for a bordelaise-style sauce
• Mix in cracked pepper and brandy for a peppercorn finish

What are practical storage and handling tips for the 28‑ounce canister?

The metal canister keeps the mix dry and shelf‑stable until opened; store in a cool, dry pantry away from heat. After opening, transfer to an airtight container or reseal tightly to preserve aroma and prevent clumping. Label with the open date and use within a reasonable time for best flavor.

• Keep sealed until ready to use
• Store opened mix in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place
• Use clean, dry utensils to avoid moisture contamination

How does Knorr Demi-Glace save time in professional and home kitchens?

Producing a traditional demi‑glace can take hours of stock reduction; this mix delivers the characteristic richness and mouthfeel in minutes. It reduces prep and allows chefs to allocate time to plating, side dishes, or multiple orders without sacrificing sauce quality. For home cooks, it makes elevated sauces accessible on busy weeknights.

• Replaces long reductions with an instant base
• Makes consistent results across batches
• Scales easily for large or small servings
