The best gravy boats to make a statement at your next feast-centered party

By

The size of a gravy boat matters since you need a big one for large family or friend gatherings and a small one for everyday use or dinners with fewer people. The material it’s made of is important as well since you might need a gravy boat to stand up to repeated use or handling by children. When you’re measuring up options to find the right one for you, keep these optimally sized and well-made gravy boats in mind.

Gravy boats are available in many different materials — including ceramic, porcelain, and stainless steel — and sizes. Yet they predominantly are white and come in the very recognizable boat shape that most people are familiar with. When you’re ready to get a new one or replace one, consider these traditionally shaped yet modern gravy boats.

Mikasa Italian Countryside Gravy Boat and Saucer Set

Best Overall

Need a solid overall gravy boat? Then consider the Mikasa Italian Countryside Gravy Boat and Saucer Set, which features fluted bands and column-like detailing that recalls classical Italian architecture. Made of durable stoneware that’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe, the set can be used to serve favorite gravies, sauces and syrups.

Norpro Porcelain Gravy Sauce Boat

Best Warming Stand

Take advantage of a gravy boat that comes with a warming stand by getting the Norpro Porcelain Gravy Sauce Boat. The white gravy boat’s candle-lit warming stand measures 2.25 inches by 5.75 inches by 4.75 inches. The gravy boat — which measures 4.75 inches by 8.75 inches by 3.5 inches — can be used separately. Candle is included.

Rorence Stainless Steel Double-Insulated Gravy Boat/Sauce Jug

Best Insulated Option

A good gravy boat that’s insulated is a smart choice. The Rorence Stainless Steel Double-Insulated Gravy Boat/Sauce Jug is a solid buy because it’s double insulated to keep gravies, sauces and hot liquids warmer for a longer period, as well as help keep cold liquids cold. The 16-ounce, stainless steel boat features a hinged lid and ergonomic handle so it’s easier to refill and grip.

Keep the gravies, sauces and syrups flowing at family gatherings and intimate dinners with a good gravy boat. These optimal and well-made gravy boats — some of which come with a saucer — can go with the flow quite well.
