Hello,
Im new here. Just joined.
Heres my question. Last night I tried to make a simple balsamic reduction. I watched a few videos on youtube and looked easy enough.
I was not happy with the results. The consistancy was right but the taste was strange. The only way to describe it was it had a hint of "burnt hair" taste.
So im wondering what I did wrong;
-Possibly reactive pan? I used a stainless/aluminum Lagostina saucepan.
-Burnt it? It was at a rolling boil most of the time and not a simmer. can you burn it?
-Wrong type of balsamic or just not to my taste?
-Unlikely but something may have dropped in to the pan like a small bug or a hair. I was doing this on the BBQ side burner to avoid smelling up the house.
Those are just some of my ideas. Any thoughts on the likely culprit?
