It doesn't have the same effect though.

It depends how long you've got. If you need a very quick thickening then it wont work and cornflour is probably a better bet. I've you've 30 minutes or so then it will work - chop it fine enough and it will basically dissolve.

Nice to see you living up to the stereotype there, Will

Even just using the liquid stocks will be better than the cubes and they take the same amount of time to prepare.

But don't your onions still take 90 minutes to cook? I'd have eaten my own arm off by then

Ah, forgot about the onions.

Gravy freezes quite well actually so you could freeze some (ice cube trays are good) to save you having to eat your own limbs.

I made some incredible chicken gravy tonight with the roast. I shall be freezing the left over. Cheers for that

Oh and if the gravy you're making needs thickening, add a little flour mixed to a paste with a tiny bit of water and whisk in.
