Fun learning experience…….finally figured out why every roux I’ve previously made was not really right. All these recipes, even some from normally reputable places, call for equal volume of fat and flour, ie 1 cup oil, 1 cup flour. The actual correct way is equal weight. Turns out, 1 cup of oil has a very different weight than 1 cup of flour. And to the present discussion, i always weigh in grams. As the bakers do.

I'm going to be honest: If you're measuring the ingredients into your roux, you're doing it wrong.

Start with the fats, about the right amount. Mix in flour, a bit at a time, to consistency. Never let it stop moving until it's at the color you want.

Don’t disagree with you, but with the exact right mix, I have found it much much easier to not let it burn or break. Like a lot less focus required. Don’t need to never stop moving it, though you certainly do need to pay attention, stir pretty regularly, and listen to your nose. What you said about “mix in flour to consistency” is probably key. For those who know the consistency Also, as an amateur, I sacrifice time in order to use a lower than typical burner temp which makes the whole process more forgiving (though it takes probably almost an hour to get a true dark roux with this method)

We should just do ICAO. It’s a pain in the ass that I can fly to Europe or Asia and know exactly what’s being asked of me but in some areas “Fly up da rivah, go to da lady, ya traffic is crossing’ da Verrazano, got eeem in sight?”

Dont tell anyone, but I do a lot of DIY projects at home and do all the measurements in centimeters and millimeters. Eff adding 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4 inches

Metric is more accurate. In freedom units, 1/16th inch is the smallest defined measurement. Beyond that, you're on the CH scale. TBCH, BCH, RCH, and the finest of all, NRCH, which is roughly a thousandth of an inch.

I didn’t know there was an absolute Fahrenheit scale until I was listening to a thing about the space shuttle main engines, and they kept referring to degrees Rankine, and I had to look it up.

300/.80 is about the best I can do on my jet, but cruise speed rarely makes a substantial difference on a 3-4 hour leg relative to other controllable factors.

Our normal cruise is 280/.74.

Mega-senior dude I flew to SJU with the other night had me bump the CI to like 300 vs. the planned 60. It probably made 2 minutes difference, max, but he's been here since God was a child and I think he has some unanswered grieveumpses. Interesting sidelight into the wisdom of pissing guys off for 30 years and then instituting "Opti-Climb" to save a thimble-full of gas and make ATC incandescent with rage...

300/.80

but yet the 737 behind you still had to slow to final approach speed 10 miles out
