It doesn’t work
I made this recipe exactly as instructed. The gravy was watery. Thinking that I may had done something wrong, and because I was curious, I tried it again. It was still watery.
The roux needs to cook into the stock to bind and thicken the gravy. No matter how long you blend it, it will not thicken without heat.
If your gravy ends up lumpy after you cook it, you can put it in the Vitamix to make it smooth. Or you can follow the recipe and then return the blended product to the pot to cook. But I don’t know what you gain by this, as a whisk and a little wrist action is all that you need.
