slurries
Watery paste blends
Slurries is the plural of slurry, a semiliquid mixture of fine particles suspended in liquid.
Industrial slurries include cement mixed with water, coal dust in oil, or ore in processing fluid.
In cooking, a slurry is starch dissolved in cold water, used to thicken sauces: Mix the cornstarch slurry into the gravy.
