Innovative Product of the Year 2014 - Knorr Gravy Pots - What's in your Gravy Boat?


Knorr has recently been awarded Innovative Product of the Year for their gravy pots. These little pots come in Beef, Chicken and Onion gravy and are really so easy to use and save you time and effort.  They were launched in 2012 and are the perfect way to make a gravy for your 'anytime' roast dinner.


I was sent everything that you need to make a fantastic Roast Beef Sunday lunch and of course some gravy pots.


I added the meat juices from the pan to the gravy and for water used the water from cooking the vegetables but this is not essential.

With our roast dinner today we were given a rare treat. Mr R was watching a cooking program on TV and announced that it was National Yorkshire Pudding Day today and offered to make the yorkshires to accompany our roast beef! Well I couldn't really turn him down!



We enjoyed our roast dinner, a beautiful roast beef, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding with a bottle of Claret from Aldi which I had been sent last week.
 

You can't beat the traditional roast Sunday lunch and Knorr make sure you make the most of the important part - the gravy!



Thanks to Knorr for the gravy pots and the rest of the lunch.  I did not receive any payment to make the lunch or write a post about it. All opinions are my own and I was not required to write a positive review.

  1. Dinner looks superb! To be honest I've never tried proper british gravy! We have something similar in Poland but I'm not sure about the taste ;)

  2. London-Unattached had one of these hampers - actually went to Simon as he has a hungry teenager to feed - he hasn't stopped talking about the gravy, gravy boat and fab piece of beef

  7. I use the stock pots and beef them up (haha bad turn of phrase for a veggie) with lots of slowly cooked carmelised onions and sometimes mushrooms too. A good starting point.

    1. I added the beef juices from the roasting pan and the veggie water to give it as much flavour as possible.

  8. Sounds like the perfect Sunday. I've tried knorr stock cubes but not the gravy. Will have to rustle up a roast one weekend and have a go. That claret sounds lovely too. And you can ever refuse gigantic yorkshire puds.

    1. I used the stock pots for ages now and the gravy posts are a great addition. Those Yorkshires were exceptionally good this time!
