ok...so I have always made my own roux...but I am thinking of giving the jar roux a shot...and I hear people are making it in the microwave...thoughts?

My thoughts are that people are paying way way way too much attention to one little element of slow cooking in browning flour and often times ignoring much more important things they shortcut that could add much more flavor and put their food over the top by doing so. Those are my thoughts.
