- 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.
The full thickening power
God bless you!! This is wat I needed, never used corn starch before but now it's on my list. Love your video👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing your recipe for thickening up the sauce.
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!!!
Excellent video, succinctly done, great job explaining it as well.
Really useful, thanks for sharing!
The Metal spoon!!
Very good and well done
Thank you for showing us this. I really need to use this in Chinese Food. Also, I plan to try some Xanthan Gum in chinese also. Thanks.
Very cool , but if I used a meatl spoon on that same very pan, my wife would come Unglued lol ...
I was dying on the inside
That's too funny! We must have the same wife and don't know it. Hahahaha
Yeah that metal spoon made my eye twitch 🤣
A metal spoon on a metal, non-teflon type, pan is the norm ie no big deal.
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.
luv it...thx for info
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.
Use a small amount of Xanthan gum
This'll be perfect for my home made buffalo sauce! Thank you!
I am looking to thicken fruit jelly so that it can stay out of the fridge without issues. Do you think corn starch will work?
can I use it for hot sauce?
I thicken my rice pudding a bit with cornstarch. I do see the thickness. Then I let the pudding cool off and it gets watery..... Happened for the second time. Any idea? Thanks
Can i use all purpose flour?
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

You ever heard of the comdian David Landau?
mmm thick orange juice
I make this beef n broccoli Chinese dish in my crockpot it calls for beef stock&few other liquids how can i get it to thicken up it calls for 2tbls of cornstarch&4 tabls of water. It doesnt wrk just adds more liquid. If u could help me w/the ratio id be soooo appreciative!😊 love ur bideos!
+Prudence Mayes thicker with have more thinking power. Most important, make sure u bring it to a boil for full effect
Side note
How do you prevent it from making those clumps of cornstarch in sauces and such?
Okay. Thanks.@@OnanBarbarul
Did u find out? His comment is gone
@@OmarLopez-kh3dx cold water and mix a lot
@@fadedark8958 do you have to let the sauce cool down first, or can you put in in while it's still hot?
Can you use plain flower instead of cornstarch
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.
Typo in title. Great video though, thank you
2 THUMB'S UP 👍👍
Why dont you just put cornstarch in the drippings?
can i replace corn starch with something else dont have any i want to make a pastry cream
Baking is out of my wheelhouse....not sure how to thicken pastry cream. Sorry.
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 :)
Thank you 🤣🤣
Be VERY careful. Add a little at a time, it's thickening power is crazy. You don't want to end up with a cake rather than a sauce!
Cornstarch is supposed to be mixed with COLD WATER!!
