Gumbo Roux Tip

[CassCounty]

Great trick. Thanks for posting! we always store extra roux in the freezer in zip lock bags....don't know why, just the way my Grandfather and Aunt's (from Garyville, Reserve, Laplace) did it. Always stored it in 1/2 cup servings so if we were making roux peas or whatever. The microwave roux is great! The dry oven roux has never tasted the same to me and we have tried it, it's not bad....just not the same depth as regular roux.

I don't make 12 gallons at a time but I do put my six quart pot in the fridge overnight and skim the oil before I do anything else with it. As you said much healthier.

That looks good. We just signed on a lease down near Livingston. I’ll
stop by and check out your place.
