Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Microwave Roux Technique.
Step 1
To start your roux, grab a microwave-safe glass bowl and pour in some vegetable oil.
Step 2
Next, whisk in all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth and free of any lumps—this is where the magic begins! Now, pop the bowl into the microwave and set it to 70% power.
Step 3
Let it cook for about 6 minutes; you’re aiming for a lovely white roux that will serve as the base for many delicious dishes.
Step 4
If you’re in the mood for a richer flavor, give the mixture a gentle stir and return it to the microwave.
Step 5
Continue cooking at 70% power in 2 to 3-minute intervals, checking the color after each round until you reach your desired shade.
Step 6
Remember, patience is key here; a darker roux adds depth and complexity to your recipes.
Step 7
Enjoy the process and the wonderful aromas that will fill your kitchen!.
