Well, the butcher and the candlestick maker probably won't have any use for it..!!! But it you are one of the millions of home bakers who love to make pies, or cobblers, or maybe thicken fruit compotes, make gravies or pan sauces, or cold thickened sauces, soups, or deserts....you will probably like this product. I can think of quite a few other places to use it as well....or at least try it.
