The Thick-It Original Thickener is incredibly easy to use. It comes in a convenient 10-ounce container, making it portable and perfect for on-the-go use. The instructions are clear and straightforward, and it only takes a small amount of the thickener to achieve the desired consistency. I have tried other thickeners in the past, but I found the Thick-It Original Thickener to be the most effective. It quickly and easily thickens liquids, whether it's water, juice, or soup, without altering the taste or texture. I no longer have to worry about choking or struggling to swallow, as this product ensures a smooth and safe eating experience.

Review: I use in salad dressings, sauces, frosting... - I was forced to consume this stuff in the hospital after a tracheotomy, and I thought I'd never want to see it again! However, I eventually realized something like this could come in very handy in the kitchen. My previous go-to no-cook thickener was xanthan gum, but my son HATES when I use it in anything! This *just* thickens things, without making them stretchy or slimy or lumpy. When I pack lunches, I add it to tuna & chicken salad to thicken up the lemon juice or vinegar and help keep the bread from getting soggy; I've used it to thicken up runny store-bought jam, yogurt, and cottage cheese. I use it to replace some of the mayo in creamy salad dressings and sugar in cake frosting, thereby reducing the calories. It helps stabilize whipped cream.It is the same starch used in instant pudding mixes, so you can use it to create your own recipes (with fewer artificial flavors/colors, if desired), or turn any beverage like juice, soda, iced coffee, or flavored milk (chocolate, strawberry, Ovaltine, etc) into a pudding. Mixes & dissolves so well in hot or cold liquid! I find it more convenient than regular cornstarch, which has to be dissolved in cold liquid; if you've already added all the ingredients to your recipe but it's looking watery, you can just stir in some Thick-It without adding more liquid as you'd have to with cornstarch. In my opinion, some thickeners like cornstarch or glucomannan dull the flavor of my food, while Thick-It either doesn't have that effect or it must be much more subtle, because I don't notice a change in flavor. I love this stuff! It is pure carbs so, being diabetic, I do have to use it sparingly, but a teaspoon or a tablespoon is usually quite enough for a recipe that makes several servings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really useful
*by D***E on December 4, 2024*

I bought this after my mother had a stroke. She needed her liquids thickened because her swallowing was compromised. This works quickly in hot or cold liquid and does not change the flavor at all. After mom passed away I discovered that this product is excellent for thickening gravies and sauces. I even used it in chicken soup to thicken it to the consistency of gravy turning my soup into pot pie filling. Very handy to have on hand
