The best way is to never get lumps in your gravy in the first place. You do that by holding out the liquid/juices, warming the flour and oil together in a pan until the flour is totally liquefied and bubbling in the oil, and THEN adding the juices. This method will cut down dramatically, if not entirely eliminate, all lumps. If you do get lumps, run your lumpy gravy through a fine strainer, collecting the lumps together. Then, dip into the gravy, and keep pouring it through the strainer, at the same time crushing the lumps with a spoon. Do that a couple of times and all the lumps will be dissolved into the gravy. Only the toughest parts of the lumps will remain in the strainer.

You strain them out with a fine mesh strainer. Once the starch in the flour has gelatinized you cannot make it smooth if it is lumpy without simply removing the lumps.
Use a cooking screen, or a filter.

Why you need to stir the gravy with small fire?

If the mixture of flour and water/broth is cooked to quickly, or with a high heat, the mixture will result in "paste" or "lumps". The lumps are flour "balls" that have not absorbed any water to cook properly. If your gravy becomes paste, then you need a little more water for your mixture. Gravy needs to be cooked at a low/mid heat to ensure a good evenly cooked mixture. After the flour and water have started cooking, let the mixture continue to proceed to a light boil. When the gravy is boiling, continue to stir for 3 minutes. This will help ensure the flour is absorbed and this will also help the taste. If gravy is not cooked to a boil, then there is a chance your gravy could taste like flour. I hope this helps for all your gravy needs.. Enjoy!! TX T... where it is all about meat, taters n gravy!!

Why is sieve used?

To separate liquids from solids. For sauces, like gravy, you want to remove lumps and other solids. For some flavored stocks, you sieve out spices herbs and vegetables or meats. For boiled foods a sieve or a colander drains the cooking liquid out of the food. Some specialized sieves, like tea bells and coffee percolators or presses remove the solids from the beverage.


Why is it necessary to be able to thicken a sauce with a roux without making lumps if the sauce is going to be strained anyway?

The lumps would just be wasted thickener, and lumps are not to happen in the first place. What you do is in a separate bowl, pour some of the sauce in that bowl and mix with all ingredients you use in a roux. When that mixture is completely mixed, you then add it to the main sauce mixture and there will be no lumps if you stir it enough.


Can you use baking powder to thicken gravy?

Two basic methods; first, as a slurry, mixing the rice flour with water and mixing well to eliminate lumps, and as a roux, melting a fat and incorporating the rice flour to make a smooth paste. Either add the slurry gradually to the hot mixture or add the hot mixture slowly to the roux.
