IGA Pork Gravy Mix
What it is
This is a dry mix designed to create a savory pork gravy. It typically contains flour, seasonings, and flavor enhancers. When combined with water and heated, it thickens to form a smooth, rich sauce. The mix is convenient for adding a flavorful gravy to various dishes without starting from scratch with drippings.
How people cook with it
This gravy mix is a quick way to enhance the flavor of many meals. It's perfect for adding a finishing touch to roasts and other pork dishes.

To prepare the gravy, you will typically whisk the contents of the packet into cold water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir for a minute or two until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Some people may prefer to add a bit more water for a thinner gravy or less water for a thicker one. It is ready to serve once it has reached the right texture and is heated through.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike gravy made from pan drippings, this mix offers a consistent flavor and texture every time. It does not rely on the specific fat content or browning of meat, making it a predictable option for busy cooks. The seasoning profile is also pre-determined.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a fast and easy way to make gravy will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After preparing the gravy, any unused portion should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume refrigerated leftovers within a few days. The dry mix itself should be kept in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
