We Used to Use Flour and Cornstarch
Before we had Dixie Carb Counters Thick It Up Low-Carb Thickener, most sauces and gravies were thickened with flour or cornstarch – two of the highest carb thickeners you could use. They may have added thickness to your old sauces but think about all those extra carbs you ate!
Over the years, other thickeners became popular for those who wanted alternative thickeners with fewer carbohydrates. These were usually alternative flours like potato starch, arrowroot, and tapioca flour. Although these thickeners could be considered “healthier” than cornstarch or flour (and are mostly gluten-free), they were definitely not low-carb.
Dixie Carb Counters Thick It Up Low-Carb Thickener
But thanks to Dixie Carb Counters, their Thick It Up Low-Carb Thickener allows you to thicken most liquids without adding net carbs or gluten. That’s right, this low-carb thickener is both low-carb and gluten-free.
But no matter what thickener you use, if you attempt to thicken a sauce or gravy by simply tossing in a thickener and stirring it into the simmering liquid, you will end up with nasty slimy lumps. This is because the clumps of starch expands rapidly when it comes into contact with hot liquid, forming a sort of waterproof gel that prevents the granules from separating properly and spreading throughout the liquid.

The Best Way to Use Dixie Carb Counters Thick It Up Low-Carb Thickener
The easiest and quickest thickening method for using Dixie Carb Counters Thick It Up Low-Carb Thickener is to use the slurry method. In the slurry method, very small amounts of the thickener is sifted or shaken slowly into water, stock or whatever is being thickened, then whisked into a simmering sauce. This method makes the liquid thicken faster and smoother and helps creates a slightly glossy appearance.
The same method can be used for nearly any starch, but it’s important not to overestimate the amount of starch you need, or to overheat the sauce — too much heat can cause the starch to break down and the sauce to thin.
