My favourite tried and tested base.

[fried]

I burnt my one before last. I cook on induction and all the heat comes directly from below. Very easy to let the bottom catch when boiling for a couple of hours, even if ther's plenty of liquid. I usually give it a stir every 5 mins or so.

Just what I was having trouble with even with gas. Not any more!

Cheers for sharing spadge, but i would not fancy your gas/electric bill lol
If it works for you then great!
I am not a regular poster on here but in my opinion by far the best method
for cooking a base gravy is by pressure cooker! you can leave the onions whole
or cut in half at best for a ultra fast and the sweetest of tastes which it needs to be.
