Charlie! I am so thrilled with this video. I made the mistake of choosing to use a recipe for gumbo that indicated "MEDIUM LOW HEAT" for making the dark roux, indicating the 20-25 minute time to get it to dark brown. My hunch is there is a typo to blame. Apparently it should have said to use "medium HIGH heat". As a result, it took me over TWO HOURS to achieve the dark color you show here for gumbo, and she said the consistency should be almost like "dough" consistency. I finally stopped and used what I had eventually achieved at 2+ hours (I kid you not - 850am-1055am) - and it looked *exactly* what your video shows here. Thank you soooooooooo much, Charlie!

I think it depends on the dish and the fat that you're using. I have spent 1 hour and 30 minutes mixing a roux of flour and bacon grease to get it a dark chocolate brown for a gumbo. I've also spent 20 minutes with butter, olive oil and flour to get to an even darker color for a chicken marsala dish. I've tried to do the shortcuts but my family says they can taste the difference. Any dish with roux is a labor of love.
@lespaul6787 жыл бұрын
I like your passion. I know that the darker a roux gets, the more flavor it develops. However, I also heard that the darker it gets (more flavor) the worse it is to use as a thickener. If so, then where do you draw the line on which type of roux to use? Thanks.

Nice...my father (from San Antonio, Texas) taught me this cooking technique when I was in Junior High (about 12 years old)....except we threw in some chopped onion, broth, seasonings, and called it homemade gravy...not Roux!!! Nice to discover it originated from Louisiana (which is where my material line migrated from). I first heard of roux in July 2017 when I traveled to Baton Rouge for a Family Reunion. I swear I love my culture and roots!!! Thanks for sharing.

Hey Charlie, I made your roux. I used a cast iron pan and a whisk. Mine took about 12 minutes. I got the roux dark brown but took it off the heat just before I got to the darkest color I wanted. I kept stirring because I knew it was still cooking. Thanks for your tutorial!!
@CharlieTheCookAndrews3 жыл бұрын
Hey there! Yes you did the right thing by turning the fire off before the roux reaches a dark brown color. Nice work. You're welcome, not a problem. Thanks for leaving feedback!

WOW, didn't know about Dark Roux, awesome video presentation, perfect. Some of us don't have that ability, to say the least. lol. I'm definitely going to try and make it soon and just pour it on something, mix it with rice and chicken maybe. Looks delish.
