Alton Brown puts his oven to 350 f and four oz by weight each flour and oil in a Dutch oven, for 60 to 90 minutes until the roux is brick red. No stirring, no burning. Looks easy and I think that is my method for next time.
I make my oven roux in a cast iron skillet at 325F for about an hour. It is a dark brown.
