I really like your rehydration method! Will definately use that trick in the future. Can't wait to try some real nacho cheese too, thanks for sharing Phil.
Mr Phil, I’m the nutty one that that wanted to know about freeze drying dehydrated veggies. Thank you for your reply. I wanted to let you know that I did try it and it doesn’t shorten the process time, if anything it takes a little longer. I weighed everything like you do, so after dehydrating but before freeze drying, it did remove quite a bit of liquid when the cycle was done. I weighed everything again added 2 more hrs of dry time and repeated that until the weight didn’t change. It does take longer than just regular freeze drying, but now I can store them longer than regular dehydrated veggies. Thanks again for all you share, your a💫
Great video but all that work is unnecessary. All you need to do is buy a bag sodium citrate, which will act as emulsifier and keep your cheese from separating. Add to boiling water and then add your cheese and your spices and you’re all set. It will behave just like a process cheese .
Have you looked into using Sodium Citrate? Not sure if that is a migraine trigger or not. Louise in The Salted Pepper has a YT video about a 3 ingredient cheese sauce, using regular cheese, (called Liquid Cheese Sauce using 3 ingredients). Granted it needs the sodium citrate which is not a regular pantry item, but if you can handle it, it might be worth the special order. I love cheese sauce! Thx for the video.
Thank you! What a great idea to use my FD cheese. It's pretty incredible what they can market as "cheese" these days. I noticed the store bought label included tomato paste. I wonder if a bit of FD tomato powder would add a nice flavor to it as well. I like to experiment so I just might try that 🙂
New subscriber here 😊. LOVING your videos (why, yes… I am binge watching 😅). While this isn’t necessarily a FD question, I was wondering what steps you go about cleaning your Flour Sack Towels? I use them for straining my broths, which do in fact get FD’d. 😉. Love your methodical approach… and thank you so much for posting… I’m learning A LOT!
I so dislike canned nacho cheese sauce. This is a great video. Thanks. I have learned so much from your channel. I rehydrated bread using this method except I used a paper towel and not as wet. You might like to just melt cream cheese and cream with your cheese to make nacho cheese dip.
Looks delicious! I loved how you went for the big piece of jalapeno.😂 We would call that "the tenderloin". Lots of food has a tenderloin- the ice cream scoop that has a big chunk of toffee bar in it, the pizza slice with the most toppings, the first sip of a carbonated beverage out of the bottle, and also the scoop of nacho dip with a big slice of jalapeno. Love your videos and will make some for when weekend. What is your preferred method for keeping it warm?

Need to try
I wonder if you could powdered your cheese added some freeze dried milk and rehydrated it all as a powder......going to have to try that out
I was wondering the same thing! Seems like it would be faster and creamier. Good Nates think alike. 😛
You could make a boat load of nacho cheese sauce and freeze dry it as well.
@@Philat4800feet how big of a boat are we talking about here ;)
@@Philat4800feet Good point!
