Using Cornstarch to Thicken Gravy or Sauces

Flag

When making gravy or sauces, always remember to add cornstarch to cold liquid before adding it to the gravy or sauce. Memory Trick: cornstarch and cold both start with "C".

Linda, that is true and important to know. I seldom use cornstarch as a thickener. I mostly use instant potato flakes.

I've found that it usually works great and I think it's probably healthier than cornstarch or flour.
