Roux is like lava. It will burn all the way to the boneGumbo. I had a stew chicken in the freezer and made stock yesterday. In addition to the stock and meat for the gumbo, I have 8 cups of stock. I simmered the shrimp shells and will freeze the fumet to make bisque at some point. The best part is that I didn't burn my roux or me!

I use an oven mitt on my hand when adding the veggies to the roux. Huge difference in staying safe!Roux is like lava. It will burn all the way to the bone
I haven’t seen the word fumet used since cooking school
