re: Removing the oil from gumbo

My roux doesn't separate in my kitchen. The only time oil is on top is after I add the meats. I don't take 7 cups of oil off gumbo when I've used 7 cups of oil for the roux. I know this because I use a measuring cup for the removed fat. Same one I used to measure the oil for the roux.

If you use okra, no skimming is required.Fact.

No shite. This is because some of the oil is emulsified in tiny oily bubbles in the water based stock.
Bottom line is that if you want to reduce the amount you skim, add less oil or fats. It's not that hard.
