What it is
This is a powdered mix designed to create a savory brown gravy quickly and easily.

- Base for pot pies
To prepare the gravy, you typically combine the contents of the packet with a specified amount of cold water in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Then, heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a simmer and thickens to your desired consistency. Avoid boiling vigorously, as this can affect the texture. Once thickened, it is ready to be served hot over your chosen dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike gravies made from pan drippings, this mix offers consistent flavor and texture every time. It does not rely on the presence of meat juices, making it a convenient option when drippings are unavailable or when a vegetarian option is desired. The powdered form also allows for easy storage and a longer shelf life.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and reliable way to add gravy to their meals will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After preparing the desired amount of gravy, any remaining unused mix should be stored in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality and prevent clumping. Properly stored, the unopened mix has a long shelf life.
