    This was a huge help. I am from Alabama. My Momma had some great recipes, but she wouldn't teach me. Now, she is gone and I have those recipes. Many start with "Make a roux". I was clueless. Thank you.

    I've watched at least a dozen roux videos - ALL DIFFERENT. steel pan; cast iron pan; low heat; high heat; one to one ratio; 3 to 2 ration; 2 to 1 ratio; use butter; use oil; stir for the rest of your life- and they make you WATCH all the stirring. THIS IS THE BEST ROUX VIDEO ON RUclips. You're clear in your explanations and give all the options.
    You then lay out all kinds of rules and procedures. I hope I find more of your videos.
    I'm going to "Stella" right now!

    Great Video. Best I've seen yet. Hope you can help me. I make lots of cream soups (broccoli, tomato,etc..) that I'm having trouble thickening to the consistency I want. I use the Blonde Roux? But when do I add it to the soup? Should the soup be boiling at the time? Any tips will be appreciated.

  • @Dragonslair7
    @Dragonslair7 12 лет назад +1

    Your roux should be cold and your soup should be warm. or vise versa. The temperature difference should help it incorporate better.

    Say I'm making a stew. Does the stew need to be boiling when I add the room temperature stock? Like if it just finished cooking in the crockpot on low, is that hot enoguh?

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  9 лет назад +3

      +Example gaming 304 Execution and timing are key when cooking for that many people. Write detailed prep lists and get a sense for how long certain tasks take. Work as clean as possible and always stay organized. Pay close attention to any dietary restrictions and take them seriously. A lot of elderly people in nursing homes will have restrictive diets, and if they're not followed, could have severe consequences on their health and well being. Best of luck, and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  9 лет назад

      I've never tried making roux with GF flour, but its worth a try. Sometimes people will use cornstarch as well for a gluten free roux. If you try either of these, please let me know how they turn out.

    @ssmm6811 4 года назад

    You said that if we used the full butter we would have to cook the mixture longer, then how long would the cooking of each type mentioned in the video be based on a full butter or filtered butter?

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  4 года назад

      Not much longer. Time frames are really just guidance. What you're looking for is the visual cue of the color.

  • @edwardsmith3532
    @edwardsmith3532 9 лет назад +2

    So I take my roux off the flame and let it cool before I add milk?

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  9 лет назад +6

      +Edward Smith It's not necessary 100% of the time, but is considered "best practice." Because there is no water in roux (just fat and flour), the roux can easily heat above the boiling point of water, especially when making a darker roux. If your roux is above the boiling point of water when liquid is added, the liquid will boil rapidly on contact, which could cause the fat and flour of the roux to separate. This could lead to fat flouting on the top of you sauce/soup, less thickening power, and/or clumps.

  • @delphinefieberg7505
    @delphinefieberg7505 9 лет назад

    When measuring the roux, are you talking about volume or mass?

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  9 лет назад

      ***** Always mass, since flour weight will vary quite a bit based upon a lot of different factors.

    If you are making turkey gravy, why not use the turkey fat in the roasting pan to make the roux?

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  8 лет назад +1

      +Ron Jetko You can absolutely do that. In fact, in my Turkey Gravy video, I demonstrate just that. Really, any fat will work for roux. The fat that you choose will mainly be based on flavor and what's available.

      I use a blond rux for cheese sauces, but I make these for vegetables. I think it is the easiest way to make a cheese sauce.

    • @MrPredden
      @MrPredden 10 лет назад

      Yes. This is just fine for Mac & Cheese. Complete the roux by making a Bechamel(added milk) then add cheese to the bechamel, mix with the cooked noodles, then bake at 375 to 400 degrees for 20 to 25 min. Don't forget to use panko on top for a nice brown crust before you bake the dish.

    • @therealhamadasif
      @therealhamadasif 4 года назад

      You typically don't eat a roux all by itself, or just add plain roux to a pasta. The roux is what serves as a sauce *base*. So for example, add milk to a white roux and you get béchamel.

    So basically... This is a way to cook the flour first

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  8 лет назад +6

      +Gra Piken Yes, it cooks the flour, but also coats the starch granules with fat. This is what keeps the flour from clumping when it's incorporated into the sauce.

    why does my Mac and cheese taste like flour?

    • @desireedoubleyou
      @desireedoubleyou 7 лет назад

      Swordmasterqueen because you didn't cook the flour long enough. Keep whisking the flour around, even after it's fully Incorporated, for an additional 1-2 min. You should start to smell a "nut"-like scent, and that is the scent of flour that has been fully cooked to completion. This will ensure that your mac n cheese will NOT taste like flour! Hopefully my explanation made sense, but if it didn't then please do let me know-- I can always try explaining in a different, or better way until it makes complete sense to you. Hope that helped, & again, anymore questions please ask! Happy Cooking!
