This is exactly as the title states--super-quick, health-conscious gravy that doesn't take up space on the stove. Hooray! I agree it isn't quite the same as gravy from pan drippings, but since I made a dish without drippings tonight I was pleased to have this tasty option. I took a hint from other reviews and only used 1 1/2 bouillion cubes since mine is full-sodium, but next time I will go ahead and use two. I think it is just a matter of personal taste. Thanks for posting; you saved the day for a lady who forgot to get the gravy fixins LOL!
