An automatic roux maker including a pot for heating and agitating (mixing and moving) the roux during the cooking process, in which a motor-driven agitator is included and suspended within the pot for mixing the roux during cooking and for preventing scorching of the roux. At the bottom of the centrally located agitator shaft is included, for example, two diametrically opposed, paddle arms which ride and sweep on the bottom of the pot and are pivotally connected to a slotted support which is capable of floating up-and-down with respect to the agitator shaft. The flexible sweeping of the bottom of the pot prevents any of the roux from remaining on the bottom of the pot for any significant period of time, preventing scorching of the roux. A timed thermostat driven controller utilizing the information from a thermostat sensor included within the pot maintains the temperature within the desired range for the desired period of time and also continues the rotation of the agitator shaft after the cooking cycle has been stopped until a lowered, set, safe temperature of the roux occurs, which prolonged agitation continues to prevent any scorching of the roux during the elevated portion of the cool-down cycle.
