I now make my stock ahead of time and store it in the fridge. I slowly add it to the hot roux, and it's always just right. I meant for it to be a tip, not a ironclad law.




Weird. The only time I've ever had separation was when I added slightly cold stock to hot roux. Everything I have ever read mentions that the two should be at similar temps to avoid separation.

No matter the temperature of the stock, I always add stock to hot roux a few cups at a time, stir to incorporate, bring to a simmer, then add more. I never have any issues, regardless of temperature of the stock.
