Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cooking Know-How

Stir gravy with a wire whisk or wooden spoon. If using a roasting pan to make gravy, a flat whisk or a flat edge wooden spatula allows you to reach the corners of the roasting pan easier.

Jazz It Up

Stir in 1 to 2 tsp. MAXWELL HOUSE Instant Coffee along with the salt and pepper to enhance the flavor and color of the gravy.

Perfect Meat Gravy

Substitute drippings from cooked meat for turkey and beef broth for chicken broth.

" Why doesn't the cook know that you should cook the flour with the fat in the roaster for a minute or two to eliminate that uncooked flour taste? Only then do you add the liquid and cook until it is thickened."
