Thoughts on microwave roux??

I wanted to make a quick gumbo after work last night before the game so I went with the microwave method. Dark roux in seven minutes. Used boneless chicken thighs, better than boullion for the stock and pict sweet prechopped vegetables. Pot of gumbo simmering ten minutes after walking in the door. Not sure why I dont always use the microwave method.

I just buy the jar roux. i'm not ashame to say that either. it's flour and grease. not sure what the "bragging rights" are when stirring flour and oil.

It's like those dudes bragging about how long they can have sex, or how they give ladies organisms. Hey, you carry their purses too?

We can't get it in Savannah?
I will try and find some in Atlanta and bring you some. Surely I can find it up there.
edit: I recall looking for it once and when I said "roux" to the employees, I might as well have been saying roo.

Some Walmart locations outside of LA carry it but I havent checked here yet. I called Whole Foods and they had no idea what I was talking about. I was wondering if the place where you bought the boudin might have it. Next time you make a gumbo try the microwave method. Its really easy.

Yeah ... same thing happened to me when I first moved to Lawrenceville ... might as well have been speaking Chinese ... roo WHO? I just buy several of the largest jar of Savoie's roux when I go to Louisiana. I can't use all of it, so I give them as housewarming gifts when I visit fellow Louisianians, or a foodie who appreciates it and knows what it is/what to do with it. As far as using jarred roux ... I see no sin in using it, but still make my own if I have the time. The jarred stuff is great when making something on the fly. I'll be trying the microwave method ...

Unclebuck there is a place in Marietta called Cajun Meat Company that sell it. They have pretty good stuffed deboned chickens but their boudin sucks.

I'm not gonna lie. The jar roux actually works fine. Guarantee you that 99% of the "experts" wouldn't know the difference.

LMAO ... my wife's best friend just moved to Marietta from Baton Rouge a few months ago and it's not far fromher house ... she said she's been eating one of them stuffed chickens every week ... I been asking her about boudin but I guess you just answered that ... lol. Guess im gonna have to drive over there ... gotta go midday though ... that 285 during rush hour will put me in jail for road rage.

The owner also takes orders for live crawfish weekly during season and drives to La and picks them up.

I ask about boudin when I go there (Savannah location). I'm hoping they will get sick of me asking and get some.

I believe in trying to avoid Hotlanta traffic as much as possible given its size and insanity. Getting out of town ASAP where possible is my goal.

Don't think anyone has bragging rights, but for something so simple, it seems silly to purchase it. Do you buy precut veggies as well? I mean they taste the same right? I think the problem is some people lead you to believe it takes an hour to make a roux when it really only take 15 minutes to make the darkest roux you want. You can't be scared to cook on high heat

It costs like 2 bucks a jar.

I don't mean silly as in cost, silly as in effort. I have more difficulty in making rice, that includes using a rice cooker.
