Guess I'm just a purist. Some of the joy I get in making a gumbo is the time it takes to successfully craft a roux. Makes the whole house smell awesome.

You light a fire with logs with an old shite pot in your kitchen to make your roux? If not you are using technology just like the microwave

Looks good, but I would have had a little more juice.

This is the only way we make a roux anymore--it is foolproof and tastes great. I don't make mine that dark but I am glad to see it works just as well.

Just wanted to say that you can also add your chopped onions, etc. to this and they will cook down.

The pampered chef large thick glass mixing bowl (maybe called batter bowl I think) with a handle is perfect for this. I am sure other brands make something similar, but it needs to be thick thick glass because it gets extremely hot. I often give them as wedding shower gifts with the microwave roux recipe.
