Use What's Left in the Roasting Pan

In our opinion, a great gravy starts with the roasting pan. Be sure to save all of the juice drippings and fat from your roasted meat, which will later be used to lend rich flavors to the finished gravy. As a rule of thumb, you'll need 2 tablespoons drippings/fat + 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch per 1 cup of gravy. If your roasting pan is stove-top friendly, simply remove the meat when it's done, and make the sauce right in the pan!
