Why is roux a sauce used for thickening?
Actually, a roux is not a sauce, but is the base for several different sauces and is used as a thickener in many dishes. A roux is made by combining equal parts of fat and starch (usually butter or lard and flour) and cooking it in a pan until the flour taste has been cooked out. The color of a roux depends upon the amount of time you cook it - and the darker the roux, the more flavor it imparts to the dish you are using it in. By adding milk to a roux you are making a bechamel sauce which is used in many lasagna recipes and other dishes. Bechamel sauce is also the base sauce for several other culinary sauces: Mornay sauce (cheese sauce), Mustard sauce, and Sauce Soubise (contains finely chopped onions that are sweated in butter before adding to the sauce) are a few of these.

It is used in white sauces, such as béchamel, or in dishes where little or no color is desired Blond roux -is cooked slightly longer than white roux, and should begin to take on a little colors as the flour caramelizes. It is used in ivory-colored, such as véloute, or where a richer flavor is desired. Brown roux -is cooked until it develops a darker color and nutty aroma and flavor.
