Canned Roux?

[bullhead44]

Anyone ever used canned roux or roux in a jar? If you have, is it any good.
Thinking about making a pot of Gumbo tonight, and thought I might save a little time using some. Just curious.

Roux in a jar is all I use. I can't tell the difference between it and homemade roux. And so much easier.

I don’t make roux anymore because the canned stuff is so good. I don’t have a guilty conscience by cheating with a store bought roux and the gumbo is always fantastic

Never heard of canned roux but this definitely has my attention. I started making my roux in the microwave a couple years ago and haven't looked back from that. Still takes some time but it wont burn.

Savoie’s is a good one. That’s normally what I pickup

when making roux at home, I use 1/4 cup flour and a 1/4 cup oil.

If I use the canned roux, would 1/4 cup be about the right amount?

Kary's dark roux is all I use anymore. Standing around cooking flour is silly when I can pay a couple bucks and some coon *** has already done it for me

I've used Savoie's with good results.

If Cajun Blake sees this he is going to unfriend us all.

I wouldn't be so sure about that

Roux is simply flour browned in a skillet with oil. Basically you burn the flour. How can in not be good?
