Question:
When it comes to your arrowroot or cornstarch slurry- do you have a preference?
— Cynthia Dudak
Answer:
I tend to prefer to use arrow root, but there are some recipes that need corn starch. I use organic corn starch, um, that I do. For example, chocolate pudding made with arrow root is going to be slimy. There's going to be another stringy. I think that's the culinary word is stringy doesn't work when you're cooking. You're arrow root slurry. It comes, it thickens just under the boil. If you keep cooking it, it's going to thin out. Cornstarch has to be cooked for about a minute.
