    Corn starch makes a good thickener, as well. It really depends upon what flavor you are trying to achieve.

    I found out from Gluten Free Chef Rob when he was on my BlogTalk Radio Show, “Carla’s Cooking’ that arrowroot also makes a good thickener. He mentioned that when using cornstarch or arrowroot to make sure you thicken your sauce or gravy right before serving, as it will thin out again if you wait.

    I forgot to mention that you can also use arrowroot and natural thickeners such as pureed beans, potatoes, rice and vegetables.

    How do I tell the difference between Cornstarch and Cornflour as I need a thickener for sauces but dont know where to buy what you refer to as “Cornstarch”
    Is there a website that has a search for food checking as to tollerance or are they all blogs.

      Hi Brian,

      I apologize for not getting back to you, but as noted on my home page, I have moved my blog to http://glutenfreerecipebox.com. I rarely check this blog anymore. In the U.S., cornstarch is sold in our local grocery stores. You can purchase cornstarch on many websites if you just search Google for the word “cornstarch”.

      I hope you’ll join me at my new location.

      Your best bet for checking for an intolerance is the labels on the product packaging. Most websites and blogs cannot keep up with the changes manufacturers make. I have a a forum on my new website which has a section for hidden sources of gluten. You may wish to check that out.
