Comment on A "Healthy Amount of Cheese" is always an Unhealthy Amount of Cheese.

Sodium citrate. If you want the bast cheese sauce you’ll ever have that doesn’t break, use whatever cheese you want for the sauce, and add a teaspoon of sodium citrate. You can refrigerate that cheese sauce and it won’t break.

What’s the ratio of cheese to sodium citrate?
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 months ago
6 cups or a pound and a half of cheese, half cup of flour, half cup of butter, 2.5 cups of half and half, 1.5 cups of milk. Add a teaspoon of sodium citrate to that much cheese sauce, or about 8 cups of sauce

I appreciate this tip, I’ve had lots of trouble trying to make home made cheese sauce. Even if I felt the flour and milk cooked long enough and I added cheese slowly, I had trouble getting everything to come together. It may be that I still wasnt cooking long enough either because I have a bad habit of scorching the milk, so I would pull it off the burner perhaps too soon. I don’t know exact I haven’t tried it enough, because I don’t like wasting food.
