Corn Starch is gluten free flour used for numerous culinary, household and industrial purposes. In the kitchen, corn starch is more often used as a thickening agent for sauces, gravies, glazes, soups, casseroles, pies, other desserts and batter for frying. Corn starch can be mixed into cool or room temperature liquids and then heated to cause a thickening action. It is often preferred to flour as a thickener because the resulting gel is transparent, rather than opaque. Corn starch can also be used to coat fruit in pie tarts, and other desserts before baking.
