A slurry is a mixture consisting of a liquid, such as water or broth, combined with solid particles, such as flour, cornstarch, or other thickening agents, that are suspended within it. Slurries are commonly used in cooking and food preparation to thicken sauces, gravies, soups, and stews, as well as in industrial processes such as mining and wastewater treatment. The solid particles in the slurry help to absorb and distribute the liquid, resulting in a smooth and evenly thickened consistency. Slurries are typically formed by gradually adding the solid ingredients to the liquid while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
