unthickened
Not yet reduced
Unthickened describes something that hasn't been made thick or denser, typically liquids like sauces, soups, or gravies that remain in their natural thin consistency: The unthickened broth was too watery for the recipe.
The term appears most often in cooking contexts, distinguishing preparations made without flour, cornstarch, or other thickening agents.
