Is it best to use oil or butter for making a roux?

When making a roux, especially a dark roux it is best to use oil instead of butter.


How is roux combined with a liquid to form a sauce?

Roux is made by combining equal parts of butter and flour, and cooking it. The butter should be melted in a skillet, and then the flour stirred in. You should constantly stir, so it doesn't stick and start to scorch. Depending on the type of soup, you cook the Roux different lengths of time. For instance, if it is a lighter color soup, you will want a Blonde Roux, which means you cook it over the heat until is is blended well, but not brown. A Medium Roux would be for a medium-colored soup, and is cooked in the skillet until a light brown color is achieved. For a Dark Roux, you will cook it until it is pretty dark--but not burned. They key to adding Roux to a soup is, if the soup is COLD, the Roux should be HOT when whisked in. If the soup is HOT, then the Roux should be added COLD (after cooking the Roux, place in the refrigerator until completely chilled). If you add HOT Roux to a HOT soup, it will NOT thicken it, and vice versa. If you are wanting to add it to the actual soup base, before other ingredients are added, you will get your soup stock hot, then whisk in the cold Roux, then add your other ingredients. Not only will the Roux thicken the dish, but it will also add a lot of flavor.


What are the different colors of roux and how do they affect the flavor and thickness of a dish?

Roux can be white, blond, brown, or dark, depending on how long it's cooked. The color affects the flavor and thickness of a dish: white roux adds thickness without much flavor, blond roux has a nutty taste and medium thickness, brown roux is rich and adds depth, while dark roux has a strong flavor and less thickening power.
