supermarket cooking sauce table

work-in-progress ...

my opinion of supermarket curry sauces as I taste them

update : 26sep21

Supermarket meal sauces seem to come mostly in 3 types :

1. Ready to pour (e.g. is ready to use, contains the carrier liquid, everything). Usually in a jar and is a liquid. 

2. Paste (minus the liquid). Usually in a smaller jar, less weight, and has no liquid.

3. Sachets (no liquid at all). You add the liquid and other things like e.g. tomatoes etc.

As my sauce-journey begins, my current bias is for pastes. 

1. Ready-to-pour sauces :

Good :

As it says, ready to go. Don't need to add anything (unless you want)

Bad :

Big jars. Have to use in 3-4 days as it goes bad.

2. Paste sauces :

Good : 

Just add water or another liquid ? (and anything else you want).

Smaller and lighter jar than ready-to-pour.

Keeps for maybe 4 weeks (as it has not much liquid)

Bad :

3. Sachets

Good :

Easiest to bring back from store and store.

Just add liquid and anything else you want.

Keeps for weeks.

Bad :
