You got that! Just take your time, constantly stirring over medium heat max!. Better to have a little more oil than having a dry roux (which is harder to brown evenly). Trust your nose. It should smell nutty and not smoky. If it is smoky then you need to get it off the heat and stir fast otherwise it will be burnt. If it is burnt, scrap it and start again.

RON PARRISH You’ll do fine. Low and slow is what the DR and I would say. For large pots, I’ve gone to the oven method vs stovetop.

GWG8541 Germany has not come up with very many good beers as far as I’m concerned. Give me a nice Porter
From a good old American brewery. Got to believe America makes the best beersDeparting Contestant I’m with you on that. I like darker beers, porters and lagers. Well its probably easier to say anyting but IPA’s, but I have had one or two tolerable IPA’s.

Sous vide sirloin tip roast, smoked crab poppers, smoked creamed corn, smoked bourbon apple cobbler.Tex_77 Wow I just ate and that made me hungry again.

A little chilly to be grilling so we broiled 1 1/4 inch pork chops with egg plant, kim chi, and steamed rice. I was sipping a home-brewed honey- ale and the wife was drinking a nice pinot.
I can’t take any credit for the cooking other than tracking the temperature of the pork chops with my new Meater + temperature probe.

processhead great looking meal

GWG8541 Departing Contestant I like IPAs especially when it is hot out, I lean towards darker beers as the temps cool.

It was still warm enough today to fire up the outdoor griddle. The wife requested shrimp fried rice, so that was it. Simple, easy, and tasty.

Departing Contestant I’ve had a few decent IPA’s, but I just cut back on my intake and drink somethingI like. I drink more whiskey than beer now. Since I have seem to have gotten older, beer wakes me up too much at night to use the bathroom. Whiskey let’s me sleep all night.

GWG8541 Just love it when we can play. Plus, it looks like a hit.

I love gravy/roux on everything and low and slow will never fail you. It is way easier to turn up the heat than cool it down.

GWG8541 It’s all about finding that sweet spot for just about anything. This one is “WHISKEY”. Glad you figured it all OUT.
