Should roux have a smell while cooking? I made roux for the first time today, and it went from smelling sort of greasy to smelling like burnt popcorn. I'm reasonably sure that the burnt popcorn smell is because I burned it, but should it have that greasy smell? I used 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and 1/2 cup of flour.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind for next time I try. Maybe using butter will help with the smell?

Thanks for all the roux replys! They have been extremely helpful, especially the color chart. As for the Cajun Cuisine book mentioned, I've found it to be quite informative. I haven't made to many recipes from it, as I'm still not very good at making roux, but I've made the stuffed bell peppers and the beignets and I really liked them.
