I’ve made plenty of gumbo and this a real time saver. Review: Great roux that comes with a surprise! Genuine Cajun and I should know - The suprise? There's a decent recipe on the back of the jar! This roux is the best of the three available on desertcart. Only use dry roux for emergencies, not a bad thing to have powdered roux too, but this works on it's own. If you grew up in South Louisiana making roux you had to use a wooden spoon in a cast iron skillet, a stick of butter and some flour, and then stir that mixture for hours to get it dark enough/right. Savoie's is from my home state and I know good roux as I lived in Cajun country for 20 years. You want your gumbo to be almost the color of the roux you see in the jar and you want to heat the jar in warm water in the sink (salad bowl drip) then add it to a sauce pan on low to get the consistency softer. Once you have your broth boiling you can stire tablespoons in slowly making sure it doesn't burn on the bottom. Be the start of your next dinner party. Add French Bread and Potato Salad (a scoop on the side) of your bowl. Don't forget to buy Filet seasoning on desertcart to add to your bowl of gumbo, it's an individual taste (filet) so let your guests decide how much in their bowl. ## Features - Certified Cajun - No Cholesterol - 0% Transfat - 100% Vegetable Oil ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007JB7ODY | | Allergen Information | Wheat, Wheat may contain | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,347 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #22 in Gravies #404 in Sauces | | Brand | SAVOIE'S | | Brand Name | SAVOIE'S | | Cuisine | Cajun | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,826 Reviews | | Item Form | Jar | | Item Weight | 1.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Savoie's Sausage & Food Products, Inc. | | Model Number | 668574 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 1801 | | Size | 1 Pound (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Cholesterol Free | | UPC | 076609000017 | | Unit Count | 16.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SAVOIE'S - **Cuisine:** Cajun - **Item Form:** Jar - **Item Weight:** 1.7 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 ## Images ![Old Fashioned Dark Roux (16 oz) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aIeXx+3pL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this Roux ready for to be used** A: Yes, just scoop out a few tablespoons and add it to any broth to the desired strength.
