Using a dry roux is not the answer.


how did I know you'd disagree with me? While it may not eliminate all the grease, I'd venture to say a dry roux would eliminate about a cup of oil (the standard amount most use to make a roux).

Are you saying that almost all of the oil in a gumbo that is skimmed is the oil added for the roux?

When I make a seafood gumbo there is next to no skimming involved. Where did my cup of roux go? (I generally use half a cup of roux/flour FWIW though for most gumbos)
