Nor do I generally use a fork in my pans and I think that is just habit to be consistent in how we use what we have. I have on occasion even made gravy with my stick blender if I already had it out for something else or I had lumps and I was making it smooth because I was in a hurry and didn't make sure I had finished getting the lumps out or I wasn't stirring enough and it got lumpy.
Good luck on how ever you make your gravy, Deborah. I hope your next batch is a success or at least an improvement on the last try.
and don't forget to keep the toad for good luck right in your pocket. It works better there than hopping all over the counter.

Carolyn I am going to start a Let's Make Gravy thread.
With step by step pictures and instructions.
I know there are a lot of people that can make gravy and cook but there are that many if not more that cant.
I just want people that dont know how but want to learn how, know how.
If that makes since.
All I can say without sounding like bragging is every time I am around a large group of people at some other house I get asked to make the gravy and help cook.
I never butt in volunteer or try to take over.
