Grams Gourmet Quick Thickener?

Sounds like the same ingredients as Thick n Thin's Not Starch which works
very well.

I've not tried that product, but I like the other Grams products.

Probably less expensive to simply buy guar and/or xantham gum
separately and either use one (guar is generally less expensive) or
mix them for the same effect.

Thanks for all the helpful comments. I know it would be cheaper to buy
the ingredients myself and mix them, but I am a lazy old fart who can
afford the luxury of buying it already prepared. LOL. When I try it,
I'll let you all know my opinion of the product.

Is the product generally available in the supermarkets?

Not yet, although we're getting closer. The reason I decided to package the
thickener in a shaker bottle was to help eliminate clumping. It's similar to
other thickeners out there except the guar and xanthan are prehydrated to
dissolve easier. Netrition carries it.
All the Best,
