Roasting meat is material for another blog, but once the meat is removed from the pan there are lots of goodies on the bottom of the pan.
If there is too much fat for you, it can be removed but leave all the browned tidbits.


As you stir in the water, the clumps will disappear. Be sure to get some water up on the sides to get the browned pieces from there too. This method also completely cleans the pan also.
I use a few different utensils – a flat wooden spatula to remove anything from the bottom and sides and a small whisk to blend the drippings, flour and water together. Very rarely do I put it through a strainer.
Taste it – if the roast was well seasoned those flavors will be in the pan also. Sometimes the flavors are a bit weak so there are a few things that can be added to the gravy for more flavor – garlic or onion granules; salt; pepper; Worchester sauce; smoked paprika. But remember alittle at a time - you can always add more but you can’t take it out.
