I would like to know how much flour and oil I need for quarts of water.are how would I figure it out?

[@kountessdough7265]

I thank you so much you brought me to tears when I watched ur gumbo video. My mom passed in 2003 and I never got her gumbo recipe. But ur recipe is my mom's to the T thanks again u have a fan for life God bless you and your family. Happy Holidays

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Kountess Dough Thank you so very much Kountess💕

[@bubbyj1332]

I've watched prob a hundred roux videos. They're comforting and remind me of my momma. My family don't use okra, we're more a filé family, but the love and time invested is all the same. Thank you for a wonderful video ♥♥♥

[@BeyondThePasta]

I cooked gumbo with a Louisiana friend yesterday, and his roux process was exactly like yours ~ lots of stirring to keep it from burning. He took his darker, but his process matched yours. He used bacon grease from bacon that he smoked as the fat. It had a really nice smoky background flavor. Anyway, it’s nice to see that your method was like someone from Cajun country. A+! I enjoyed your video.

[@rebeccawhite3221]

This is perfect. My daddy always made roux for me and put in a mayo jar. He passed and I never learned to do it myself. This is EXACTLY how I remember he did it.

[@AntoniaOkafor]

Ive been stirring my roux nonstop for 45 minutes 😥 I am so glad I saw this video. The way you wait 30 seconds to help it brown faster makes this so much faster! Thank you!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

You’re welcome.

[@hillarygonzales8905]

Yes now I realize why mine takes so long!

[@ShopNation]

I just have to say, I make a gumbo every year and it’s my tradition to watch this video first (every year). Thank you for the excellent video!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks!

[@xiomaralemans3669]

Don't leave the roux! Stir, stir, stir. The main ingredient is patience. Thank you Carolyn.Good tutorial. 😀😀😀

[@HotSixty]

Who would thumbs down an excellent tutorial on making roux?🤷🏽‍♀️

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Not sure but I’m glad you and others liked 👍🏽it 😉

[@2Smoke311]

someone with nasty gumbo lol

[@ashleywickett3612]

Somebody who likes their chicken seasoned with just salt and pepper 🤷‍♀️ i enjoyed the video

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks Ashley. Try adding a little garlic and a bit of paprika to your salt and pepper. A quick and flavorful combination.

[@ashleywickett3612]

@@CookingWithCarolyn oh snap I hope you didn't think I like just salt and pepper on my chicken 😂 i was saying the people who put thumbs down probably like their chicken that way lol

[@adrienneackermann268]

Hey! I used this roux video yesterday while making chicken and sausage gumbo for the first time (I also ruined the first roux and had to start over, which is when I found your video). This was the best explanation for a roux/gumbo newbie like myself! Thanks for the help! Love your videos, keep being awesome

[@sqwark4523]

As someone in the UK who’s so far removed from a roux, thank you so much for this. Every other roux video makes you feel bad for not already being a chef. Thanks Carolyn!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

You’re so welcome.

[@BookingTheTerritory]

I've been cooking Gumbo for years. A friend asked me for a recipe. I sent him this video because before anything else in that recipe I needed him to watch this first. Fantastic work on your roux! Looks great.

[@sallyann1953]

Fantastic tutorial Carolyn! I made my roux and spent time cutting up fresh vegetables and added everything step by step. Standing over the heat, making the roux got me so hot, but I kept thinking about final results and it was worth sweating to get my gumbo made. I loved watching your tutorial. You make it fun and I had great success. God bless you for sharing. I’m so happy with the results.

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Great job!

[@tcwaterdrill]

I used to make my own roux for gumbo with bacon drippings, then I hurt my back and could not stand long enough in front of the stove to make it anymore. Then I tried the store bought roux and it was hit or miss depending on the brand, most tasted burnt. Then one day I tried a couple of packs of 50 cent brown gravey mix, with bacon drippings no longer a burnt tast and tasted great. Reduced the time to make gumbo, but still let it set in the fridge overnight and add the shrimp the next day. Always better the next day. It only takes one minute to go from good roux to out the back door burnt roux. For those of you that take the time to make your own roux it still makes the gumbo special having a good homemade roux.

[@TheRosswise]

As a cajun man I 100% approve of this video. Thank you for making it :)

[@pagacofield3398]

I’m here 4 years later 23 making my 1st gumbo for my bf I’m excited with your recipe 🥰

[@ekhoromeo]

Very good tutorial for the roux👨🏾‍🍳 I usually don’t make a roux but like to change up once in a while

[@weareeverywhere7225]

I'm trying gumbo for Christmas. This is a terrific resource!

[@JusticeGolden-u4r]

Your channel is Amazing! It’s like having my Big Sis in the kitchen with me for every step. Thanks so much.

[@eugeniamccarthy8]

Thank you!! Doing a roux in my Dutch oven is a pain. Love your pan version! Thank you! Gumbo here I come!!💕

[@OrbGoblin]

Making my first gumbo tmrw, appreciate the help coach!

[@mzwhitneycurlsmakeup4181]

I already knew how to make roux but I’m so glad I watched this video. The ice bath will change my life. I always hate to make chili because for wasting it or waiting up all night to put it away!!

[@mystrokeyboardist]

Hey Carolyn It's your boy Mystro from South Central Los Angeles! On the first try of making your Gumbo off your first video i did it perfect!! I am going to re share the pic of it on my Instagram and tag you in it! It was pretty easy for me because i went step by step... It's been 3 years now and i still make it often Thanks for the wonderful recipe... My Aunt who passed away in 2009 was the only one in my family that knew how to make Gumbo... So now i can do it... and I often think of her when i make it... RIP Aunt Ray Baines

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Hey Mystro! Thanks so much for letting me know. I’m glad you did it with ease and confidence. I’m proud of you. I’ll be waiting on that tag 🏷

[@lizzyg.5852]

Thank you for the recipe, and for showing how to get it ready❤

[@davidneighbor9298]

Excellent. Thank you, that's very helpful! My attempts have ended up with a roux that is still too light, because I've been afraid to give it enough heat. I can't wait to try again.

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Glad it helped!

[@ericmonse2165]

The best roux video I've seen so far. We make ours the same way but the okra tip is very interesting. I'm going to try that method next time.

[@Tasukihori]

I did my rue the same way but I added some homemade demi-glaze that I had on hand as ice cubes, and threw about 5-6 of those in my rue and turned it from wow to outstanding!

[@ThelegendaryTiny]

Thank you so much we used your recipe to make our first pot of gumbo tonight God bless you

[@theemicheleshow5393]

Thanks for this very easy video to follow. I'll let you know how it turns out!

[@barbarapearson5896]

I'm one of those odd ones that like okra in all it's slimy glory, no need to roast, fry, or do anything else to it to make it palatable.

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

🤣🤣whew Chil’

[@barbarapearson5896]

LOL!

[@kittycatsalinas]

I love me some okra too girl!

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

Me too! I put it in my black eyed peas & butter beans too.

[@womensarmycorpsveteran2904]

I don’t get all the fuss cuz it’s only slimy till you cook it.

[@lindseywarren44]

I don't know why I never looked this up before now... I want to thank you. My husband was from NOLA and he made the BEST ettouffe. It was my favourite dish of his and he never wrote the recipe down. He passed 8 yrs ago and I have never tried a roux on my own. Partly out of sadness, and partly out of lack of confidence. You made this look easy and I liked the way you explain the process without alot of chit chat 😉 Thank you for helping to bring a part of my husband back to me 💗 Bless

[@lrs1519]

Wow thanks for these tips! Especially the ice bath. No more staying up late so that my soup, chilli or gumbo can get to room temp so I can put it up. Or worse, forgetting that I left it out 😒

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Oh Sweetie! I knew some people do that and it could make you sick sooner or later. Yeah buy yourself some bagged ice when you make those huge pot recipes.

[@lady4real75]

I take it straight off the heat & too the fridge. Haven't had any bubbles in years.

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

The thing with doing that is it’s still doesn’t cool fast enough to prohibit bacteria growth. If you have a deep pot of hot food in the fridge 2 things happen (1) You drastically change the temperature of the entire fridge so you comprise everything else in there and (2) The gumbo can still take too long, more than 4 hours, to cool at the center meaning the conditions for bacterial growth are still there. Just because you don’t SEE bubbles doesn’t mean bacterial growth hasn’t started. The ice baths help to race the gumbo through the “danger zone” which is 41 degrees to 140 degrees. If the gumbo is in this danger zone for more than 4 hours bacteria can start to grow. That’s why I stated to give it an ice bath and bring the temp DOWN to 40 degrees and then refrigerate. These are food safety practices that restaurants MUST follow or they are sited by the health department. I’ve adapted it for you guys to do at home so you avoid a food-borne illness. The elderly, young children and people with autoimmune deficiencies are usually the ones effected first.

Thank you for your heart. And teaching simplicity of roux, thank you nice lady

[@lorispann6239]

This taught me so much about Gumbo soup. I will be trying Chicken & Sausage Gumbo.

[@memphismanz1383]

My first time making roux and gumbo. I burnt the roux right at the end. I didn't start over though. My wife says it gives it a smoky flavor 😄 thanks for the videos.

[@jaysongrimes9032]

Got something for you to try. Take 2 cups flour in a cast iron pan an put in oven at 350. Let bake for 30 min. Pull out an stir the flour an put back in for 10 min. The flour will be brown an add water. It’s perfect this way. No grease an no standing over the stove for along time. Huge game changer

[@MrJstell]

How much water would you add?

[@petermitchell5459]

Thank you so much for breaking this down. My first attempt at Gumbo I now know I'd burnt my roux slightly

[@MsTray]

Hi Carolyn. I have always enjoyed watching your videos. I haven't seen any new ones in a long time. I hope all is well with you and would love to see you put out new ones. God Bless 🙏

[@KeaKea214]

I tried the vinegar trick a while ago and loved it! I also tried making roux in the over and that was a dope trick for days you don't feel like being bothered with all that stirring. 😂 your gumbo looks delicious! 😍🤤

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Yeah the oven method is cool I heard.

[@KeaKea214]

CookingWithCarolyn i love it!

[@daniellej7914]

What did she sprinkle on the okra though?

[@redryderaus]

Great description, I could see and understand all the way through.

[@ChefJonnyL]

Gosh when it's close the smell is amazing especially when you hit bit with the trinity i think you made me wanna make gumbo this weekend..lol

[@ryantaylerson]

That was awesome and makes me miss home. My friends mom would use fried chicken in her gumbo to thicken it up instead of okra

[@DustinR80]

Thank you! I needed a refresher on roux. Making Gumbo tomorrow. Don't know how many times I've burnt it.

[@myawesomefinds7021]

I just made your gumbo today (my first time ever) and that roux almost kicked my butt! But it came out delicious!!!!!

[@helenewardlow2438]

Only took one time to have a pot to spoil on me. What u shared is what I do. Thanks for sharing.

[@dominicmilligan1250]

[@DocBryson]

This is hugely helpful to me. I'm making gumbo from a friend's family recipe for the first time soon and I was definitely intimidated by the process of making a roux. I'm feeling a lot more confident now.

[@monagreen3354]

I’m going to make my own roux now. I’ve always used a boxed one for my gumbo and it’s amazing but I think this is going to be soooooo good. I also went and got shrimp boil because you said it takes the gumbo to another level. I’m ready for Christmas now hun. Thanks

Well give a try and see what happens. My sister uses the jar roux.
