Imperial brown gravy mix instant: Canadian bulk for food service
Six 492 g bags per case of Imperial instant brown gravy, made in Canada. Reconstitutes in cold water, holds at serving temp, works for poutine, mash, hot meat sandwiches, or as a dip. We ship from Calgary anywhere in Canada.
It's the kind of dry mix a line cook can crank out in two minutes without thinking about it. Whisk into water, simmer, done. You'll see it on poutine, over mashed potatoes, and on hot turkey sandwiches across most Canadian menus for one reason: it holds up plate after plate on a busy line.
Imperial Mix Gravy Brown Instant 492 GR / 1.08 LBS, 6 bags per case, Canadian-made
A reliable brown gravy base for kitchens that don't have time to roast veal bones on a Tuesday. Reconstituted, it lands at a medium thickness, pours clean over fries or mash, and doesn't break when it sits under a heat lamp for an hour. We stock it at our Calgary warehouse and ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, usually 2-5 business days.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"We moved 30 cases of this through our Calgary warehouse for a large Calgary event last summer. The customer's line cooks had it on the buffet in under 15 minutes from opening the boxes. Texture held at serving temp, no skin, no break, and they came back to reorder the next month."
The powder is free-flowing, so a 4 oz ladle gives you the same hit every time whether you're running a Stampede concession or a 200-cover bistro. That's the whole point of an instant mix: scratch-style plating speed without the four-hour reduction, and a sauce that doesn't punish you if it sits on the line for 40 minutes.
Quality and specifications
Dry powder, 492 g per bag, 6 bags per case. Wheat flour and starches do the thickening work. Whisk in clean if you temper it right, no lumps, no break. Specs are consistent case to case, which is what matters when you're prepping 200 covers and don't have time to troubleshoot a sauce.
Professional applications
Poutine gravy, fries, hot turkey or beef sandwiches, meatloaf topping, dip for mozzarella sticks or chicken tenders. Stands up to cheese curds without thinning out. Most kitchens use this three or four ways across one menu cycle.
Storage and handling
Store dry, sealed, off the floor, away from steam and humidity. Unopened bags have a long shelf life, check the "Best Before" stamp on the case. Once opened, clip the bag or roll it tight and put it in a sealed bus tub, otherwise you'll see clumps before you even hit the stove. Hold prepared gravy at 60°C or above per Health Canada.
Canadian sourcing
Made in Canada, and that matters when your distributor can tell you exactly where the plant is. We stock it at our Calgary warehouse and ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, usually 2-5 business days depending on how remote your drop-off is.
