help with cheese sauce
Hello everyone: I used to make a flawless cheese sauce with cheese,
worcestershire sauce, cream or milk and mustard powder. Something happened recently and my cheese sauce is stringy. Obviously it may be the type of cheese I'm using. What, in your collective experiences, has been the best melting cheese? (Other than faux food like Wispride or Velveeta--I don't want to use either of those.) Thank you, Stephanie |

Are you beginning with roux of butter and flour and then adding in your milk and THEN adding the cheese slowly as the last step? Grating the cheese on a box grater will ensure it's going to be incorporated evenly and will melt relatively more quickly than adding it in big hunks. It will string up if you just plop chunks in the bechamel. |

It will string up if you just plop chunks in the bechamel. Ditto above. Cheese will separate from other ingredients if heated too much. Add cheese last, and turn heat down *low* as soon as it's melted. |

I use cheese sacue for veggies, and I use cheddar. Tillamook sharp (not extra sharp) and it does fine every time. |
