I've never done microwave roux, but mainly because I couldn't do enough at one time. I don't know that I'm capable of making a small amount of gumbo. It's usually about 5 gallons, though I did make a 12 quart last year for someone's office. I had to use a smaller pot to control myself.

Karys seems like the easiest way. Appreciate everyone's suggestions.


Like Dubai said, Kary's is great. I use it often. I'd double the roux to liquid ratio on the jar instructions though. But I like a roux-heavy gumbo.

I don't cook the gumbo in the pot I make the roux in. I add roux to simmering stock in my stock pot.

I vary on what I use. Sometimes, a big cast iron chicken fryer skillet or a Magnalite chicken fryer skillet or a Lodge enameled pot. Just depends on whether I'm making fried chicken gumbo or smoked chicken/turkey gumbo at the time.

Was implying the "economical, simple, and time consuming". It's next Saturday after the races finish at Churchill. I'll be sleeping till LSU kicks off
