    Great recipe. Just made it. I increased the salt quite a bit because my cheese was bland, use good strong cheese as the sauce is pretty neutral. Thanks for the inspiration. I've used this process without knowing what it was called many times, but never for a cheese sauce. Usually for gravies and creamy soups etc.

      You can, but note that most pre-shredded cheese is coated with an anticaking agent to inhibit the tendency of the shreds to stick to each other and cake. Microcrystalline cellulose, starch or powdered starches are the commonly used anticaking agents.

    • @KevinIsCooking
      @KevinIsCooking  Місяць тому

      I've found that curdles in a cheese sauce come as a result of overheating the proteins in the cheese, which causes them to separate from the fat and water content. Add a few teaspoons of cold milk and whisk the sauce vigorously for about 10 seconds; this may be enough to repair a cheese sauce that's just beginning to curdle.

    I bet if I make this with twice the butter extra flavored, it will have the perfect look and texture. But the flavor will be lacking.

    • @jjokinen8420
      @jjokinen8420 2 роки тому +2

      if you add extra butter to a roux you will just get sauce with grease spots on it, not that much extra flavour, if you want extra flavour on the sauce you can always cook the roux down to a darker colour and the fact that you fucked up the spinach sauce was propably because you used fresh spinach, instead of frozen, adding the fresh spinach to the sauce too soon, causing it to wilt and making it lose most of the nutrients and flavor. you are welcome, be smarter, cooking isnt that hard.

    If it gets a lil grainy what happened?

    • @KevinIsCooking
      @KevinIsCooking  Рік тому +1

      There's a few reasons like these: Always shred your own cheese... The reason pre-grated cheese may cause the sauce to become gritty is that it is packaged with added powders as a preservative. The most common cause for grainy cheese sauce is overheating the cheese. When the cheese is overheated, the proteins become denatured. Hope this helps. When in err, I always Google the question and check out the answers for ideas I may not have thought of, too.
