What language is this?

Note to original poster: Punctuation is your friend. Oh, and it's not
optional if you want to be understood.

Making your own pan gravies and quick sauces is a great way to enhance
your cooking skills. It turns out to be fast and easy, and very
rewarding. You're off to a good start already by recognizing that
those powdered concoctions are rubbish. For example, suppose you've
cooked ground beef patties in a cast iron skillet and just removed
them:

add a knob of butter to the skillet along with some chopped onions
(or better, shallots), cook for a minute or two on medium high heat;
stir in a bit of flour -- about the same amount as, or a little
less than, the butter;
while watching that cook for another minute, sip from your glass
of red wine, then pour a few tablespoonsful of wine into the skillet,
stir well, being sure to scrape up the flavorful bits from the bottom
of the skillet;
now pour in some canned (tinned) beef consomm=E9 or beef stock,
boil it until the sauce reaches the consistency you like;
serve over your beef patties.

There are hundreds of variations, but I hope this demonstrates how easy
this is.

Okay, what on earth is gravy salt. Need to know, never
heard of such a thing.

Based on what 'Rusty' posted, it's instant gravy mix in the UK.

I believe the original poster (I missed that post) is looking for powdered
gravy mix. Colin, where do you live? That way, you won't be getting
advice from people in another country.

I don't know much about it, either. But google is my friend. ;-)

I would just make homemade gravy (or instant in a pinch).

Looks like a browning agent, some sort of caramelized stuff (sugar, I
guess) and salt.

Sorry for punctuation mistakes, i live in uk and have always prefered
comptons to bisto etc which comes in powder form thank you for all the
relies and advice much appreciated ,Colin
