Hey everyone! I'm trying to whip up a gravy with a thick texture. I've used various ingredients such as flour, cornstarch, and even arrowroot. I still fail on achieving it. I wonder what could be the culprit why I can' achieve it. Any tips, tricks, or hacks for achieving a gravy that will truly stand out?

Hey there! Thickening gravy can be a bit tricky sometimes, but don't worry, you're not alone! One thing to keep in mind is the ratio of flour or cornstarch to liquid. Too much of either can make your gravy too thick or even gloopy. Try mixing your thickening agent with a bit of cold water before adding it to the hot liquid to prevent lumps. And don't forget to simmer your gravy for a bit to let it thicken up properly. Hopefully, these tips help you achieve that perfect, thick gravy you're looking for!

Thick gravy adds so much flavor to any dish! I think adding a slurry of cornstarch and water can also help thicken it up quickly. Though, I might simmer it for a few extra minutes to reach the desired consistency!

To make thick gravy, gradually add a mixture of flour and water or broth to your simmering gravy, whisking constantly until desired thickness is reached.

I completely agree with your method of using a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up fast. Simmering it a bit longer ensures that perfect, rich consistency we all crave

One technique I find helpful is to mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water until smooth, then stir it into the simmering gravy. Though, remember to let it cook for a few more minutes to activate the thickening power of the cornstarch.

When it comes to thickening gravy, I prefer using arrowroot powder. Just mix it with a bit of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into your hot gravy until it's nice and thick. So simple and delicious!
