Yup almost had one those dreaded gravy disasters today. Thank God for immersion blenders! Just as I was ready to add my liquid to make some gravy, I had to take a call. I did take the pan off the heat. But by the time I got back there were little boulders of roux and chicken base looking up at me! So I did the only thing I could. I heated the milk for the gravy, and got my immersion blender out. Once the liquid was in the pan and I could see that the whisk was not going to break those boulders up, I grabbed the immersion blender., in a few minutes the gravy was smooth and thick. Another culinary rescue!!
If you do not have an immersion blender, get one. they are VERY handy for a variety of tasks, including saving the gray. Be sure to read the instructions and do not turn on the blender until it is in the liquid. Or you may get a bath.
