Cornstarch is used to thicken liquids in a variety of recipes such as sauces, gravies, pies, puddings, and stir-fries. It can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, and even instant mashed potato granules. The ingredient you are most likely to have on hand, of course, is flour, so we'll start with that. When you want 1 cup of liquid to be fairly thick, it takes 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. (A stir-fry sauce might use only 1-2 teaspoons per cup of liquid).

Iso does NOT mean Isomer, thats like defining a word using the definition! Iso in chemistry, means the same, or no change. Something that is isotonic for example would have the same amounts of materials dissolved on both sides of a membrane.A reaction that is isothermic would have no net change in heat.est Answer: Iso is used to refer to a coumpound that has the same chemical formula as another but the structure is different...thus the atoms are arranged differently in space.
