Have you been using corn starch wrong all these years? I want to talk about how good this particular corn starch is for a moment. And then get into a mistake that countless people have been making when using corn starch in their cooking (especially sauces and gravies). So I'll get to that in just a moment.In the meantime, let it just be said that this is one of the best deals you're going to get on corn starch online. Priced right, and the quality is no different from that of the big name brands that you'll come across in stores or on amazon. It may be a "generic" product, but it's basically the same as the more expensive stuff out there. Now, let's talk about that mistake some people make with it....Are you using this to thicken sauces, gravies, or other dishes? Whatever you do, don't bother adding the corn starch DIRECTLY into the sauce or gravy to thicken it. It's a pain to blend it in just right that way, and you'll often end up with lumps you have to waste time breaking apart. So how do you fix that problem? With this corn starch, it's a piece of cake. Here's what you do.Make a slurry.Say you're making a white sausage gravy to pour over fluffy white biscuits, or a tender chicken fried steak (we're from the Deep South, we love our gravy). Only problem is that your white (or brown) gravy just isn't thick enough to serve with the rest of the food. Use this corn starch to thicken it up. But DON'T add the corn starch directly to the gravy. Put the corn starch in a small cup or bowl. Then add an equal amount of water, starting with a little bit at a time. What you want is a "slurry" that's thick, but very easy to manage. You'll feel it being sort of "sticky" as though you can't get the spoon through it easily. But that will start to give, and the slurry will be thick but smooth. This allows you to mix your thickener without clumps of it floating around your gravy or sauce.Once you've got your corn starch slurry made, you can add a teaspoonful at a time to your gravy as it's cooking on the stove. It will blend in really well with a few good stirs. And it doesn't take much to thicken things up. You just want to pace yourself, adding a teaspoonful or tablespoonful of the slurry at a time. That way it's not overkill and your have a gravy that's too-thick and becomes almost jello-like when it cools down. But that's all there is to it, just use this corn starch with the "slurry" technique and you'll never deal with gravy and sauce thickening headaches again.

I use cornstarch often for thickening sauces and baking, and this one does the job really well. It dissolves easily without clumping and gives a nice, smooth texture to gravies and custards. It’s also great for crispy coatings when frying. The only downside is the packaging—it’s not resealable, so I had to transfer it to an airtight container to keep it fresh and avoid spills. Other than that, it’s a quality product at a fair price. If you cook or bake often, this is definitely worth having in your pantry. Just be ready with your own container!

High quality corn starch, Whole Foods brand. Arrived quickly.

Very good for price, I use it for crafts works very nicely.

Good product, works like it should. Would buy again.

Great way to ship sugar. Also great shelf storage too, the sugar is always just as loose as when the bag was first opened. Not drawing moisture and turning into lumps. Love the price too.
