Did you taste it? Or smell it? Burned roux is easy to taste/smell.

Would burnt roux turn the gumbo black though. Normally when someone burns it it still looks normal just with specs of black burnt roux. Never seen it completely burnt though.

You have to use a non-reactive pot when cooking okra. Typically cast iron or aluminum will turn the okra black.

Sorry I checked out for a while. Yes, I tasted it and it didn't taste burnt or even as strong a roux as I normally make.

I'll have to ask him what type of pot.
