A white roux is cooked just enough to remove the starchy flavor form the flour. It is neutral flavored and works wonderfully as a thickener in recipes. It is ideal for sauces, creamy soups, country gravy, bechamel sauce, and chowders. A white roux takes 2-5 minutes to achieve.
A blond roux has a slightly nuttier flavor as the flour is toasted together with the oil or fat. It still thickens recipes and is great for sauces, bisques, creamy soups, and creole gumbo. A blond roux takes 5-10 minutes to achieve.
A brown roux has a nutty flavor and at this point it begins to lose its ability to thicken recipes. It is ideal for etouffees, gumbo, seafood gumbo, gravies, and espagnole sauce. A brown roux takes 15-30 minutes to achieve.
