Re: Instant gravy?

usually you don't need gravy browning if you've used beef stock but there are occasions when a little is called for although I've not used it in a long time. Worcester sauce helps to colour it as does the oxo, job done

Re: Instant gravy?

When I cook meat or a chicken I always save some of the juices in a small plastic container, you can add to it each time you cook something, put it in the freezer for use later on to make gravy. I just mark the containers Chicken, Lamb, Beef, Pork.

When I grill meat, I always put some water on the hot pan to get the juice, and freeze that.

The beauty of doing this is, that when I do a roast, I already have the makings for my gravy and can do that before the roast is ready, rather than have to do it after the roast is ready and it also means that the fat hardens on the top and you can just take the fat off and just leave the juice.

Then I add a bit of water to the roast pan and save that ready for the next roast I have. Beats all the rush of trying to make gravy at the last minute.
