things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of arrowroot?
  About 8 g level. Heaping tablespoons run 11-12 g, which matters when you're slurrying — too much arrowroot and a glossy pan sauce turns into something closer to pudding. For a cup of liquid you want to thicken to nappe consistency, 1 to 1.5 level tablespoons (8-12 g) is the standard ratio.
• Why does my arrowroot slurry go stringy?
  Arrowroot turns gluey if you boil it after thickening, or if it sits in a hot pan more than a minute or two. Whisk the 8 g tablespoon into 2 tablespoons cold water, pull the pan off the heat, stir the slurry in, and return to a bare simmer just until it clears. Skip the rolling boil.
• Can I use a tablespoon of arrowroot in salad dressing?
  Yes, for emulsified dressings that need body without dairy. Whisk 1 tablespoon (8 g) arrowroot into 2 tablespoons cold vinegar or citrus juice, warm gently until it thickens and clears, then cool and blend with oil and seasonings. The result holds suspended herbs and shallots better than a thin vinaigrette.
