To reheat gravy with cornstarch, first, thin the gravy with a small amount of water or broth to prevent it from clumping. Then, heat it slowly on the stove over a low-medium setting, stirring constantly to incorporate the cornstarch evenly and to avoid any lumps. If the gravy is too thin, you can make a slurry with additional cornstarch and water and gradually whisk it in until you reach the desired thickness. Always bring it to a gentle simmer to fully activate the thickening power of the cornstarch.
