I was looking for the gumbo calculator to see if you put sausage in a seafood gumbo. Asking for a friend.

I don't, but I don't know what that has to do with the "gumbo calculator."

I’v made seafood gumbos with crawfish or alligator sausage that came out very good. It adds flavor to the ‘juice.’ I only use it pending the seafood cooking in the gumbo. Key is to cut it in very small pieces so the seafood remains the star of the show.. I occasionally use those sausages in sauce piquant and court-bouillon’s..

Can’t comment on the calculator part..

To my way of thinking, gumbo is nothing short of a stew------a damn good stew, but a stew none the less, so put what you want in it and enjoy it.

Too damn many food snobs on this site who think their way is the only way.

Always chiming in with their "Never use tomato products in your gumbo"------"Never mix surf and turf"-------"Never use okra in a seafood gumbo"--------"Only use this oil, or that oil when making a roux".

Screw them, make it to your liking and go with it.

Now, let the downvotes begin.................

The Gumbo Calculator won't help you with that question.

What is the gumbo calculator? Is it just roux proportions?

It was just a trial balloon I made. Never got finished.

Probably the most useful part was the liquid to roux calculation. Otherwise, if you have a recipe you like, you can just scale it up by multiplying your ingredients.

That's different from jambalaya which won't scale up linearly without problems.
