Fast or slow?

Fast. Have your trinity cut up and ready to cook. Heat oil on high until it starts smoking. Add flour and whisk to combine. Drop temp to Med/High and continue stirring it. Don't stop. Adjust temp higher or lower as needed but it should get to the right color within 3-5 minutes. Add vegetables and stir to cool it off and stop the roux from burning.

This afternoon. About ten minutes. I like to sip while stirring the roux. It’s done when my glass is empty. :)

A few posters here convinced me awhile back to try Richards and I haven’t made a roux since

I rarely make a small amount of roux, so some years back, I started the oven method which I would deem as "slow" or "slower".

I used to do the fast PP method, but it still wasn't that fast with a large roux. It's a fine method, though.

I’m more of a medium. Takes about 10-15 minutes I guess. I start on high the adjust up and down or even pulling off the heat if its too hot. But I normally make about a half gallon at a time. Rarely do I make a roux then put my trinity it.

Made this one in a big magnalite saute pan. All I had handy I guess.





Its really why I dont buy the jarred. I always have jarred on hand because I just make a big one then use as needed.

Depends on what I'm doing with it. For most things slow. For a few family recipes I actually do a dry roux, browning flour in a dry skillet. It's not easy to get right.

I make 8-12 cups at a time and ladle it into muffin pans as I go. I start medium and slow down as the volume decreases.
