Lounge cooks - Important Gravy Question
When thickening a gravy, do you use flour, or do you use a cornstarch slurry?

1. If you're at the beginning of the gravy making, use a flour-based roux...
If you're trying to thicken an already-constructed gravy, a cornstarch slurry works better. :hi:

4. I agree as well. However
I like vats of gravy, so I usually use drippings and then a gravy mix! I can't get enough otherwise, usually, though I once had success using chicken broth and cornstarch to add to a from scratch chicken gravy.
