Question... never used jarred roux before for gumbo.
Do you just heat it up, add the trinity to saute, and then proceed as normal? Or should I saute before adding the roux?

I really don't understand how jarred roux can ruin a gumbo or any other dish that uses roux... Can you expand on how it "ruined" your gumbo?
Are you actually following the directions and adding it to boiling water / stock? Only way I can see it messing something up is if you actually try to cook the roux by itself more in a skillet, which is dumb.

Love making quick gumbos on Sunday. Jarred roux, Guidry's trinity, rotisserie chicken, boxed chicken stock. I do mince my own garlic, sautee frozen okra, slice and cook the andouille. Comes out great every time.

Watching you cajuns get in a pissing match over roux and/or gumbo is always high entertainment.

So far I have a 1/3 success rate
Just ruined what could have been a decent batch of gumbo
This right here tells me you cant cook gumbo.

who has the time to mess with a roux these days on a weekday? I don't have an extra hour to stir around flour and oil.

It’s flour. And oil. You sitting there stirring it together doesn’t come out with a better end product than the jar fresh trinity, stock, etc does result in a better end product.
I didn’t say shite about apple pies or whatever other nonsense you brought up.
Flour and oil. By all means, waste your time stirring. Won’t make a difference.

Cook it a little more out of the jar and proceed as normally, throwing the trinity into the roux. No need to pre sauté.

Thanks! We usually get off work early for Halloween here, so I may whip up a pot tomorrow...

It doesnt take nearly that long. 20 minutes max on medium heat.

A small roux doesn't take that long over higher heat using the Paul Prudhomme method.
You can also do it in the oven on 375. For a small roux, it won't take long and you can do other things while it's browning. I use the oven most of the time because I make such a large amount at one time.
I don't care for the oils used in jarred roux. Savoie's uses some mix of palm and cottonseed, something like that. Kary's is soybean oil, I believe. I prefer peanut oil. Many folks don't care what oil is used and that's fine.

I have made gumbo with every way imaginable for making a roux.
No noticable difference.

People with 5 minutes and some self respect. A quick roux is super easy and it tastes better than that shite in a jar. I can always tell when a gumbo was made with jarred roux.
