I don't think Deb has hit me yet, but she did loan her pan to Lannie once. The head bump has finally receded.
Us wimmins gotta stick together yanno! If she says ya need whackin.......ya need whackin!I don't think Deb has hit me yet, but she did loan her pan to Lannie once. The head bump has finally receded.
Actually its plain ol roux, flour fried in oil. I would say kinda hard to mess up but anyone who has ever made a roux has burnt a roux lol
That is to me the hardest part of cooking a gumbo or even a good home made stew. The roux is always a major PITA and I will cheat at times and use the bottled roux but it has to be a decent known brand to me like Richards or Zatarans. Now powder roux.....never! Thats just nasty to me.
I have NEVER burned a roux, and let's see, I've been doing it for 43 years now. I usually make mine with butter, however, I have used oil on occasion. I don't typically make mine as dark as that one in the jar, though, so maybe that's why. I just get it golden, and then add the liquid and whisk, whisk, whisk.

I have to admit I burned a few in my youth....I have NEVER burned a roux, and let's see, I've been doing it for 43 years now.
I get their corned beef or pastrami to go by the pound sometimes. Their Reubens aren't bad either.

lol lighter roux's are good for lots of things.......with those dark coffee/chocolate roux's, there is a super fine line between perfect, and burnt! But man, no better flavor than in those dark roux's!I have NEVER burned a roux, and let's see, I've been doing it for 43 years now.
Thanks Chop, I'll try one of those if we have em and see what I think. I figgered preservatives would mess em up.

Mornin Rixsta. Are you in Somerset, England?
Morning...Afternoon here, yes, Somerset, England, I live on a cliff away from everyone lol, I love it..the postman, not so much lol. It's beautiful here but the winter months are a nightmare, or at least they can be with high winds and snow.
So after a few days of vaping on the ceramic coils on the Super tank, which are actually OK but I'm hoping these bad boys are going to be a lot better..
I'll let you all know.....
Sounds wonderful in the Springtime!
I can't handle cold weather at all. Used to live in very cold weather when I was a kid, but can't deal with it now. Jup, I can imagine you're not your postman's favorite person! Well, maybe cookies, or better yet, a bottle of rum at Christmas will keep you in his/her good graces!! hehehe
He's always looked after with our homemade breadSounds wonderful in the Springtime!
