Thanks! Just made chicken teritaki in the crock pot.Tastes delicious but so thin! I needed an “end of the process” idea! Perfect!

I don’t like my stew being too liquidy-soupy at the end, so this is great advice on what I should do in a couple hours. Thanks!

Great suggestion. Worked great. Removing the liquid and processing it separately also gives the opportunity to add more ingredients. Butter worked great.

Thank you so much for posting this! I did a double batch of stew in the crock pot last night, to be delivered to two friends who have both recently gotten out of hospital… it didn’t thicken, and I needed a solution, QUICK! This saved the day… and about $30 worth of ingredients and an hour of chopping! Thank you, thank you!!

I am making an Irish Stew for the first time and am afraid it won’t be thick enough at the end although I did add flour at the beginning. I so appreciate this information in case I need it at the end. Thank you!

Used all the “after” suggestions and they worked. After fully cooked I left the lid off while I was making the roux. And I sprinkled some mashed potato flakes on the top after adding your recipe to give it an extra boost.
