peanut oil in a salad dressing almost killed my ex girlfriend. she had a severe allergy, though.


Yea, I was speaking more towards refined peanut oils for cooking. Refined cooking oils are not required to be listed as allergens by the FDA. Peanut allergies are scary stuff though. I saw a guy go into anaphylactic shock just walking in the door at Five Guys because they had just dumped some unshelled peanuts in a box by the door and the dust was in the air.

If they have a peanut allergy, they try to avoid peanuts.

I brown my flour in large batches in the oven and store it in the freezer. When it comes time to prep a dish with roux, I use no oil. Yes, I know it's heresy, but I don't want the extra fat.


I cooked a chicken and sausage gumbo Sunday and I bought Savoie's powdered roux mix and it work like a charm.

Your way is cheaper, so I am going to do it your way and store them in the used jars.

I'd give it a shot. I use rendered turkey fat off a smoked turkey to make a roux for gravy during the holidays. It always turns out great.

We’ve won a championship using rendered bacon fat, so that’s my suggestion

When is the next Roux Championship?
