      With experience, a lot of restaurant chefs find that they can ignore temperatures for the most part. Leave the burners on high, leave the oven on 450 for everything, we just manage the distance. That's why you see him lifting the pan often since that's his method of temperature control.
      If you're making this at home, medium is fine. It's more important that you stir it constantly. If you find you're doing multiple things at once, you could cook it on a very low and slow setting, or if you're more confident you can turn the heat all the way up You just got to make sure you stir just that much faster. It is very forgiving as long as you have The ratio of flour to fat you'll be fine 99% of the time

      @@Chance57 for some reason roux’s never come out right. They usually aren’t thick enough. Maybe I expect roux’s to be thicker? I’m not sure. But I usually end up adding a cornstarch slurry to get the consistency I want.

    • @Chance57
      @Chance57 Рік тому +1

      @@KeilaET that works too! The longer you cook your roux, the less thickening power it has. It's at it's max thickening strength at about 30 seconds in at medium high where most people would be reticent to take it off the heat.
      The trade off is you get a much stronger (better imo) flavor from darker rouxs but they're weak at thickening. I've worked in a commercial setting where we've used your trick of roux and a cornstarch slurry to dial it in. It's probably a lot more widespread than people acknowledge since then they'd have to turn in their "roux master" cards.

    • @Chance57
      @Chance57 Рік тому

      @@deadpool-wp1eq1.) A little milk at a time! A common recommendation is 25% first, and then the remaining 75% in halves with thorough stirring throughout. I don't know that I've ever once been able to incorporate all the milk at once without lumps.
      2) Room temp is better. Milk has a large thermal mass and can arrest cooking. If you don't want to leave it out, you can microwave the milk for 15 seconds at a time until it's no longer cold allowing you to mix it in a lot easier. It shouldn't be hot, but not being refrigerator cold will give you more wiggle room when whisking.
      A tip? The ratio is equal amounts of flour and fat (usually butter) but people argue if that's by mas or volume all the time. This should let you know there is a little wiggle room. Most importantly is that before you try to incorporate the milk, all the flour has to be absolutely coated. If you find your roux is clumpy or dryer than a slurry, you can and should add a bit more fat to it. Flour itself isn't a perfect homogeneous substance so tweaking the ratio until the roux is right in every individual case is more important than strict adherence to the standard ratio. Additionally A "slack roux" (Where you've added too much fat) can easily be fixed later in the recipe but once you've got lock up or clumps, you're stuck with them.

What is necessary though, is for you to relax, grow some testicles and not find it so important to respond to posts that are over a year old. I forgive you though as I know you are still so badly devestated and hurt that Hillary lost. Find a safe space and do some yoga listening to Indian flute chanting. You will be just fine..
