Argo Corn Starch is gluten-free, making it a suitable option for those with dietary restrictions. Corn starch works by absorbing liquid and swelling when heated, creating a viscous consistency. To prevent lumps, it's best to mix corn starch with a small amount of cold water to form a slurry before adding it to hot liquids. This ensures even distribution and prevents clumping. Use Argo Corn Starch to thicken your favorite sauces, such as gravy for roasted meats, sweet and sour sauce for Asian dishes, or a creamy béchamel sauce for gratins. It's also perfect for making fruit fillings for pies and tarts, ensuring a perfectly set and delicious dessert. In many Asian cuisines, corn starch is used as a coating for meats before frying, creating a crispy and tender texture. It's also used in some Caribbean and Latin recipes to thicken stews or sauces. For example, in some Chinese stir-fries, corn starch is used to create a velvety texture. Store Argo Corn Starch in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping.
