Knorr Demi-glace - Mare749 - 10-13-2011 Recently, I asked Jean for help making a large quantity of gravy and she recommended this product. Well, I finally picked it up today at GFS for $18. Not bad at all, especially since it makes 2 gallons of gravy! Re: Knorr Demi-glace - cjs - 10-13-2011 Hope you're f-i-l likes the gravy, Maryann!! it sure works well for me in so many cases. Re: Knorr Demi-glace - BarbaraS - 10-13-2011 Oooo!! Oooo!! Oooo!! Is this stuff good??? How do you use a demi-glace? I was so hoping to find it somewhere because Wegman's really pushes their own brand, which is pretty good, but not the brand name I'm looking for. Barbara Re: Knorr Demi-glace - esgunn - 10-13-2011 Ok, Maryanne, What store is GFS? Jean, what store do you get it from around here? Is it dried, frozen, or refrigerated? My kids LOVE gravy! Re: Knorr Demi-glace - Gourmet_Mom - 10-13-2011 I've been looking for years! I figure I'll have to get it online. I keep forgetting. BTW, I've been meaning to ask, or have I, what is the main difference between this and the Tones Beef Base that I use? Re: Knorr Demi-glace - BarbaraS - 10-13-2011 Well I see D'Artanguan's (sp?) Duck Demi Glace all the time at Wegman's all the time. If anyone needs a tub - I think it's like 4 or 6 oz - I can shoot you one frozen. And then I have the "Better Than"... boullion base that I use. Barbara Re: Knorr Demi-glace - cjs - 10-13-2011 Knorr's demi glace is in powder form and it makes wonderful beef sauces. I pick mine up at Cash & Carry. Probably most restaurant supply places will have this. It's a wonderful product. Re: Knorr Demi-glace - esgunn - 10-20-2011 I just saw two new products at the store. I picked one up to try. Knorr Homestyle stock It is a small(like 1/4 cup) container (4 in package). It comes in beef too. Looks like it might make a good quick gravy. And, Swanson's Flavor Boost. Not sure if they do quite the same thing or not. And I didn't look very close at the nutrition/sodium/ingredients on them. But thought they both looked interesting. I picked up the Knorr brand to try out making a gravy. Re: Knorr Demi-glace - Mare749 - 10-21-2011 Quote: Sorry, Erin, I just saw this now. GFS is Gordon Food Service, however it is open to the general public, unlike some of the other food service companies. I guess they haven't found there way out west just yet. Just want to add a note here that we were very happy with the results of the Knorr demi-glace. My dad was especially happy with the flavor. I made up 2 quarts and poured it into small freezer jars so that he could take one out as needed when he has a meatloaf of roast beef. One last note. This product works out to be 7 cents per ounce and a name brand jarred gravy is 12 cents per ounce, so it's actually less expensive in the long run and tastes a lot better.
