Ackshully, I use it for cutting the "sharp" in my enchilada sauce - it
kinda rounds the sauce out. It's a tool, like any other, IMHO, and
while I make homemade gravy from roasts, fowl, etc., I have a place in
my pantry for stuff like that - I've even been known to harbor a can
or two of cream of mushroom soup, but don't tell anyone...
