I just buy Kary's roux in a jar. it's flour and oil. not sure why anyone would go through the trouble of making one unless they like to throw back a few more beers.

Yep. I love it. I can take it to any color I want to in a short time with minimal stirring.

Same here. For me, I can "control" my roux better when doing it in the microwave. I'm a big fan.

Pretty much the same as others. I use a Corning ware bowl, start out at 2 minutes, stir , another 2 minutes, stir, then decrease the time each cycle. Stir as soon as the timer stops to deter burning. I usually shoot for dark chocolate color, it will darken after the last cycle. Takes less than 15 minutes for about 2 cups of roux.

This is for a 10-15 serving pot, for large amounts I use the traditional method.
