    True or False - Other than white, blond, and brown roux, there are black and red roux also. If true, what are they used for?

    Question #12942. Asked by That Fat Guy. (Jul 17 01 10:20 PM)


    McGruff

    		True. Roux (pronounced roo) is a mixture of flour and fat cooked together and used to thicken sauces, soups, and gravies.

    		As McGruff said, however, red and black roux's are used primarily for flavoring soups and sauces rather than thickening because they are cooked so long that it begins to break down the glutens which are what thickens the sauces. Red and black are found primarily in Cajun/Creole dishes.

    Well over a century ago a piano keyboard was developed that provided the same "shape" for all triads rather than the white-white-white, white-black-white, black-white-black, black-black-black, black-white-white, and white-black-black major triads of the standard keyboard.
