Ultratex 500g Gluten-Free, Multi-Functional, Highly Dispersible Instant Thickening Starch for use in Both Hot and Cold Applications – Recyclable Container

This is an excellent product and one that I use regularly in the kitchen. Provides a tasteless thickened texture and that is quite unlike gelatine or a jelly producing product. Can be used on literally anything that is in a liquid state so easy to thicken fruit juices into clear gels without any of the texture from pureeing, or thicken gravies more easily than cornflour etc as it dissolves and is incorporated more evenly... It does take a little time for the product to become fully hydrated and to final consistency, so whilst it states 'instant' it isn't actually quite that fast... Give it a few minutes to act and then recheck consistency before adding more otherwise you risk overdoing it... A little goes a long way so good value for money too...

For Sharon L who replied to my question; many thanks- I accidentally deleted the mail instead of hitting reply so I hope you see this! I will take your advice thank you- I've just made a batch of cakes so we'll see how they turn out! Bread next! Product review; am experimenting like crazy. Works great in sauces both cold and hot but that's easy cos you can add until you reach the required consistency. Freezes and unfreezes (in sauce) well. Guess I'll have to juggle to find the correct amount for cake mixes... I used 3 % today, seems fine but haven't cut them yet. Arrived well packaged and in good time. Big pot, so should last a while. Update; have been using in my gf cakes but seems to make them a bit grainy. Doesn't improve the texture much but does make mud cake slightly more moist. As for bread...Well. Gf bread is savoury madiera. Even this stuff hasn't made my bread any easier to swallow... sorry. I'm just being honest. And I am a qualified cook not an amateur. I can't find any information anywhere on usage. Perhaps this could be addressed by the manufacturers???? Yet another UPDATE; SO. I'm back for yet another tub. I enhance my gf personal flour mix with approx 5% ultratex and no longer grainy. Adds some texture and i notice if I omit it (i make bespoke gf cakage). I still add xanthum but less. I also use ultratex to thicken soups and sauces; it's a go to in my kitchen. I do recommend as a gf 'help' but advise experimentation and defo against using it as a drink in any way.... It's tasteless.

This is pretty cool stuff to have around the house. A tapioca starch-based thickening agent you just sprinkle onto your sauce and it thickens without any significant lumping or impact on taste. I bought this before cooking my christmas meal this year, with the aim of eating away from too much fuss with gravy making. Deglazing the turkey tin with some wine, adding stock to the mix and then thickening up with a few sprinkings of this Ultratex stuff worked a treat, giving me a fast, lump free, glossy gravy without any need to risk floury lumps, etc in getting there. Definitely the best gravy I've ever done, and a real find on the cooking front. One word of warning - 500g of this stuff is a LOT. I've now got a whole bucketful of it sitting on top of my shelf, I probably won't use again until I need some more sauce thickening. It would be nice to be able to buy in 100g and 250g pots for storage purposes. But putting that aside, I've now definitely found a new kitchen essential I'd never even heard of a few months ago, and how often does that happen?

This arrived promptly. A very big tub and I wish it was sold in smaller quantities. The tub itself is enormous with the product only filling half way up. I don't quite know why this should be. Now the product itself is used for many things but mainly as a thickener that is gluten free, non lumping and taste free in hot or cold liquids. I used it yesterday in a recipe and it worked as it should do. Very easy to use.

Perfect for making gluten-free scones the xanthan gum and the ultra tex great gels

Bought this to add to pizza base and thicken stews. It’s fantastic pizza base you could actually handle without falling to pieces, yes you have to be gentle. Cooks well not hard and crispy but a little chewy texture really nice.It is flavourless and thickens sauces beautifully, added a little bit at a time until thicknesses desired achieved.

Great product and for a good price. Have use ultratex before from another manufacturer but I feel that this ultratex seems to work faster it thickens nicely as expected but it takes no time at all. Previously the one I have used before took a while to react and took more in the dosage as well . Special ingredients ultratex is quick to thinken and is obsorbed well plus gives a good gloss to sauces, soups and purres. Delivery was quick and well packaged.

Fantastic for thickening up sauces, soups, purees. Doesn't clump, doesn't need cooking.

Gut
