You can use this technique to quickly thicken a sauce without the risk of the sauce breaking (like butter may do), or the time it takes to make a roux. Just a bit of corn starch and water, added to a lot liquid and you're good to go.

I like this, it reminded me to use cornstarch more often, I always try using flour and invariably end up with lumps and a big big mess. thank you.

I never have any problems making gravy with a roux base, but I love the smooth and satiny texture of a cornstarch base. Thanks for showing us how it's done.

@kede21556 7 лет назад

Thank you so much!!! I never make perfect gravy!!! it's always lumpy or still THIN...I followed your instructions to a T even though I had much more sauce than you but I continued to add the sauce to a small amount of starch until I got the desired texture then BOOM!!!

The full thickening power

@Vikotnick 4 года назад

This is a good and easy way of doing it. If you want to do it with flour, You would have to start with butter and flour to make a Bechamel base and "toast" off the flower taste.

Excellent video, succinctly done, great job explaining it as well.

I've always been frustrated with trying to thicken sauces, drippings etc into gravy with a cornstarch slurry. I could never get it to thicken enough. My mind was always "stuck" on a formula; 2 cups broth to a slurry of 1T cool water and 1T cornstarch. Clearly, for thicker gravies, it's not enough. I can also see that I haven't been using enough heat. Need to step outside of my box a little I guess LOL. Thanks for making this video!!

Can corstarch be used to thicken a fridge cooled or room tempature fluid like milk. Looking for a way to thicken a protein milk beverage with a taste-neutral additive. Also, could arroroot be used for this purpose.

@tonymarkham229 5 лет назад

Use a small amount of Xanthan gum

A metal spoon on a metal, non-teflon type, pan is the norm ie no big deal.

Can i use all purpose flour?

@andrewh3177 5 лет назад

This method is actually the opposition to using flour. Cornstarch is pretty neutral in flavor and is good for thickening in situations where you might need to just quickly thicken something. Flour needs to be cooked before using as the thickener and it also adds an awesome nutty/toasty flavor. To use AP flour melt some butter or oil in a pan and add flour to that to make a paste called a roux, cook it on medium/low heat until it is toasty and slightly browned

@@fadedark8958 do you have to let the sauce cool down first, or can you put in in while it's still hot?

@robertblink4836 4 года назад

Can you use plain flower instead of cornstarch

@sixbells99 3 года назад

Not by itself, you would need to make a roux, which is equal parts butter and flour. If you used flour by itself it would just clump up and your sauce would taste of it. That's the beauty of Cornstarch, super easy and no taste.

@DaveBeaulieu 10 лет назад

Baking is out of my wheelhouse....not sure how to thicken pastry cream. Sorry.

@malevolent6462 7 лет назад

I don't know what to use for baking, but if cooking use potato starch. Remember, if you want to get a light syrup consistency use 1 tablespoon of starch for every 1 cup of liquid :)
