I believe one stirs a roux not whisks it.

Then you are making the roux wrong. You need to stir it under heat to stop it burning but no need to whisk.

what are you talking about. that's what you use a whisk for. that's what whisking is

@previous (terri !RwordOooFE)
Stirring and whisking are different. You just got to keep moving the roux around slowly for about 30 to 40 minutes non stop to stop it burning.

> Stirring and whisking are different
As much as it pains me to agree with him, Svet kinda has a point here. Whisking generally introduces air into the substance (e.g. creams and meringues) and that is part of why whisks are designed the way they are. It's possible to stir things with a whisk, but I don't know if you still call it 'whisking' then.

Grab that whisk!
If you're cooking up a bisque
You'll have no regrets
about your vinaigrettes

If you're making a roux
You must whisk it
Or maybe stock for stew
You must whisk it
Or even a fondue
You must whisk it

Now whisk it
In the pot
Stir it up
Don't let it clot
Mix harder
Mix it up
Keep stirring
It's not too late
To whisk it!
