Corn starch is a versatile ingredient that can be used in cooking and baking to thicken sauces, soups, and gravies, as well as to create a light and crispy coating for fried foods. To use corn starch, mix it with a small amount of cold liquid to create a slurry before adding it to hot liquids to prevent clumping. In baking, corn starch can be used as a thickener in custards and puddings, or as a substitute for flour to create a tender texture in cakes and cookies.
