its simple depends on how much roux you want to make 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup flour or 1cup oil 1 cup flour start on stove top in black iron dutch oven preferably stir together untill well blended place in oven for 1hr at 325 ck often till roux is desired color, should be brown like a beer bottle just dont burn.
He said you cook it for five minutes. I'm not a cook, but I think the point of the brown roux is that you get a more robust flavor, and a darker color. I think the brown roux is easy to overcook.
Roux cooks in stages and gets hotter and hotter, each stage you will see the roux turn to a grainy, sandy like texture. How to cool a roux is with the vegetables you will use in your dish, diced cut, then right when you have the color you want, dump the vegetables in. This will caramelize them and release the sweetness of the vegetables. Always make more than you need. Now, never put cold water in a hot roux you let the roux cool to room temp, make sure to keep stirring and watch the steam.
So how exactly do you make the brown roux then? I find most of these videos leave out some important steps, and all of a sudden the finished product is there.
To make a dark roux takes time. I am an expert at making the roux and it takes at least an hour for the DARK roux. Depending on what you are making, roux can be from light to dark. The darker the roux, the more time it takes of constant stirring.
Another way to make dark roux is to bake it in the oven. I've never done this myself but apparently it's easier than standing there and stirring for an hour. You might be able to Google for more info.

You just constantly stir and keep on cooking the white roux until it turns the color you want it.
