First time using jar roux
Posted on 10/5/18 at 12:16 pm

We normally make our own roux and we use one cup of flour and one cup of oil for one pot..tomorrow we are doubling the recipe and cooking it outside so we figured it would be easier using the jar stuff. My question is how much of the jar roux do I use to equal what I normally would do...or in this case double the amount. Thanks

I would say about 2 cups worth will fill the bill. That should equal 1 pt., or 1/2 of the quart jar most roux comes in.
If you decide you need more, simply add some roux to whatever it is you are cooking and stir it in.

I've done the experiment.
A roux made with 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of oil yields 1 1/3 cup of roux, plus a little unincorporated oil.
So you need 2 2/3 cup of jarred roux.

Usually use a jar per gallon of water/stock.

OP's not asking what brand to use.
OP, just make sure you don't add cold roux to hot stock. That may cause the roux to break and you'll have a big problem on your hands.

Use entire jar to 6 containers of stock
