Sorry guys and gals but it is entirely possible to instantly thicken cornflour and boiling water without lumps. in fact it is the only way i have ever done it.
You need a cocktail shaker with the mixery thing under the lid. pour boiling water in it. dump the required amount of cornflour on it put the lid on quick but leave the little pourer just cracked(important or it will pop the lid off when you shake it and heat the air inside)
It all has to be done quick and id recommend leaving the door open so you can do it outside just in case but literately 3 shakes and you have a perfect smooth non lumpy thick stuff you can add to your stew until thick as you like.
Or you can just put most of it in at the start 12-18=24-38 hours later there aint going to be any lumps.
I have never met a stew or casserole that wasn't better the next day![]()
