Hi Andy,

So the fusing is for the spices, and not the base sauce? - this is where I've been going wrong then. Are the spices in the pre-made paste fused when they are prepared and should you get the smokey smell when you're fusing.

We have had long discussions on fusing and I thought I had covered all the points from my perspective.  Please read what I posted in UCB threads and Hints & Tips.  Base mix is never fused because it will definitely burn, it is a slow cook & blend process.  Fusing occurs in the final dish makeup and releases the flavours, i.e toasts & blends. Acidification takes place at the end of the cooking to release the final flavours.  Lots of oil is used to trap these flavours in.  This is one of the reasons flavours change overnight and after freezing. 

Why yoo no wristen good peepah  ;D ;D ;D  Or is it you dont want to believe/accept what i have said so far and seek yet another Messiah (who just happens to be saying a similar thing)  ;D 

Its becoming like the 'Life of Brian' here, but what the heck I just look on the bright side of life  :.  I am off to join the Knights who say Ni!.

All in good fun!

hi layne britton.

I can safely say that NO Garlic puree or ginger puree is used.

Hi all

CP has clarified that the fusing is the actual final dish production. The base is in effect just a flavoured stock and its combination with the final dish spices produces what everyone seems to be looking for.

It's all very well reading about it CP, but in truth some of these techniques just won't be achievable unless we actually see it done. So get your camera out and give us a head start will you?

I particularly want to see this fusing, squishing and scraping business.

Yeah, What about this video then CP - Any progress on that? 

Andy2295, Any chance you could post some photos at various stages to show the correct way it should look? - How about videos at the crucial stages to show colour, consistancy and method?

I know this might be pushing it a bit, but I always say that if you are going to do something then do it to the max (ie Air conditioning and not poxy natural ventilation!!!)  ;D ;D ;D ;D

BTW - Enjoying your posts so far, will try when the full monty is up and ready!
