  1. In your Slow Cooker Sausage and Seafood Gumbo recipe (which, by the way, is delicious), you state that the oilflour roux should be cooked for 30 minutes. Is this a typo? I’ve never cooked a roux that long. I believe it should read 3 minutes.

    Just subscribed to your publication. Looking forward to every mouth-watering bite!!

    • A good roux takes time to cook. I cook roux for about an hour. That’s the Cajun way for a roux that tastes delicious even by itself.

  2. Stupid question, but I just never understood. When recipes call for a 10” cast iron skillet, is that the diameter of the bottom of the pan or the diameter of the lip of the pan? If I guess incorrectly I risk possibly overcooking or undercooking.
