How To Make Gravy, a Quick and Easy Recipe

[stluanne]

Two cups of gravy? Are you serious? If I put two cups of gravy on the table, my family would simply laugh and ask where the rest was.

great way to trim off weight lol

[hazville04]

i need help i failed for 3x.. my gravy seems to be lumping when i add the broth :(

[cookingfordads]

@hazville04 are you adding it slowly and stirring while you add it? I;ve never had that problem with this recipe

[defiythelie]

@hazville04 add the floor last and also desovle it in cold water before putting it in the pot/pan.

I'm sorry but every knows that if you're using a hot rue for your gravy, you need cold stock. Similarly, if you're using cold rue, you need hot stock. That way there will be no lumps. Furthermore, the gravy is really watery. It should be thickened up by either adding a slurry or by reducing it further.

[craig1049]

Hi,What do you mean by adding a slurry.

Im just trying to develop a thick brown gravy for fried chicken.

You seem to know a bit, do you have any tips.

Thanks

[patswz]

@craig1049 Ok, I don't really know the technical name, but I call it a slurry. A slurry is basically water and corn starch. Y'know, to thicken the gravy further. ^^

[kentaokabe]

his gravy is too "watery".. needs more flour.

[Alerion05]

or you could just heat up the broth and let that reduce down a bit, then add slurry which is water and flour together, and whisk it in slowly..reduce and there u go gravy

[tootxh88]

what kind of flour is it? can I use a cornstarch? Because my cousin uses cornstarch.

[cookingfordads]

@tootxh88 Just all purpose flour, I've never tried cornstarch, but I know people use it. good luck

@jedenlord To nie jest bardzo miłą rzeczą jest powiedzieć. Czy kuchnia polska sławny?

[brobrigirl]

how big is the spoonful???

1 tea spoon? or

1 table spoon?

[cookingfordads]

@brobrigirl ust use a normal spoon and fill it up like i do on the show. It's really a visual recipe. (but if you must know, a spoonful of dry is about a teaspoon and a half and a spoonful or something wet is a teaspoon)

[MeMo5682]

1/2 paund of Butter, chicken fat, soy sauce, flower, flour....... HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF COLESTEROL ......?? .....No wonder Americans are among Fatest ppl in the world all the junk they eat ,Im not suprised.

[cookingfordads]

@MeMo5682 1/2 stick of butter, not half pound, that would be rich. and yes we are a big people but we're working on it.

[dahlee030176]

[juniks123456789]

[MrJoeinator12]

im making burgers on a grill i don't have juice.

[cookingfordads]

@MrJoeinator12 you can use just the broth

[bootie92]

@migencluz, you're right, it is called rue...but it's spelled roux =)

[migencluz]

that fat and flour mix you called paste is actually called rue...

[chixyman]

Is that a water gravy? Lol

[PuraVid4]

thats some watery gravy. nasty

[MrDogtrainer1234]

seriously what are you doing?

[cookingfordads]

@MrDogtrainer1234 Dude, seriously, I am making gravy, what part of this don't you understand. Maybe I should talk slow........er

[MrDogtrainer1234]

@cookingfordads sorry im a chef and that isnt a gravy, i know this is a quick gravy for people with time restraints but dude dice and onion,maybe a little garlic and add the stock to your roux a little slower while stirring means no lumps,and for speed add a little gravy browning for better colour.

not picking holes man just people can do better in the same time,plus get there kids a little goodness in the gravy rather than just fat,flour and stock

[MrDogtrainer1234]

eeeuuurgrrggghhh what the fuck are you doing

[dove8380]

omg i love ur recipe but i had no butter but i followed and replaced butter with spoon of oil and cup water....it taste awsome....and ur awsome cuz i understood everything u said and got to the point thank u once again and GOD bless

[cookingfordads]

@dove8380 Really? that worked, Seriously? how awesome! I'll have to try it, people on a diet will love it. Thanks so much

[dove8380]

@cookingfordads

yup yup i added salt and pepper chicken broth, one spoon of oil cup water and of course the flour and just stired it, u should def try it lol.... once agian ur video was helpful

[nuttyu]

can i make gravy without the meat juices.. is it possible?

[cookingfordads]

@nuttyu yes, although you probably should add some bouillon or some other flavoring.

[BeeRich33]

LOL quick and easy? I have to roast a turkey to make gravy now?

[drplbiftin]

looks horrible

[Kevitivity]

Good video.

Traditionally, you brown the flower and fat stage (called a roux) first, before adding in the turkey juice. This gets rid of the raw flower flavor, while adding a nutty/rich taste and darkening the finished product.

If you use your turkey fat instead of butter (or a mixture of the two) you'll get even better results.

[cookingfordads]

@Kevitivity thanks for the tips.

[nelypinguika]

if you want to make it more thik just keeep stiring or add a lit o bit of flower

[nelypinguika]

wow that looks really simple

[HalfJoey]

That looked more like a soup than a gravy. It had the consistency of water. Better luck next time?

[aznp0wers]

i chugged it

[nickia88]

where to I find the turkey? it's useless if i need to have a giant turkey ready to make this gravy

[bchacks]
