Arrowroot. Use to thicken fruit sauces and in fruit tarts. One table-spoon arrowroot has the thickening power of 3 tablespoons flour. Arrowroot is not used to any extent in meat sauces. If overcooked or reheated it has a tendency to break down and lose its thickening power; so the sauce goes thin. Therefore, I do not use or recommend it for meat sauces.
