I make mine this way and it takes about 15 minutes. If you try it, I would definitely invest in a long spoon if you know whats good for you.

That's not a high heat, fast roux though. The way I learned to do it is 1 cup oil heated until smoking then add in 1 cup flour and whisk constantly. You can get to red-brown in about 4 minutes. Black in about 5 minutes and burnt to shite in about 5-1/2 minutes.

A wooden, flat ended stirrer works for me, as does a heavy, longer oven mitt. Wooden won't heat up in the hand like a metal implement. I use a whisk for the initial 30 secs or so, just until all of the flour is oil-coated.

I second this notion. I've still got a hole in my hand from some aggressive stirring a month ago.
