Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

You can add sodium citrate and milk to just about any cheese to make it melt smoother if you want. Skip adding American entirely.

I can find american cheese a lot easier than I can find sodium citrate

True. But now you have options.

Aren't you just describing more or less how they actually make American cheese? Real cheese (cheddar and ?) mixed with curd and emulsifiers.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much. Just pointing out that you don't need to cut your sauce with American to make it gooey.

American is so mild that an even somewhat flavorful cheese will overpower the hell out of it. I'm not worried about a single slice of american diluting my cheese sauce. Not to any perceptible degree, anyway.
