What's the best way to reheat gravy?
The stovetop gives the best result: about 4 minutes, aiming for a moist finish. Whisk, don't stir. Constant whisking melts the gelatin back to silky gravy and stops a skin forming.
How long does gravy last in the fridge?
Gravy keeps about 3 days refrigerated at or below 40°F in an airtight container. When reheating, bring it to 165°F internal.
Can you reheat gravy more than once?
USDA guidance allows reheating to 165°F each time, but quality drops every round trip. Reheat only what you'll eat.
