    This looks sooo good. To make it a little easier and to keep them from falling into the flame I put the peppers on a cooling rack and then over the burner. Can't use a cheap rack though they can have a coating that flakes off in the fire, solid stainless only. And don't grab it afterwards, I mean I'd obviously never do that but I heard about someone who did ☠️😆

    The Velveeta secret is sodium citrate. Dissolve the powder in a little water and make almost any cheese melty! Look it up for details but I’m here to tell you, it works well and you can choose better cheeses to use.

    Have you ever looked into using citric acid instead of velveeta to make those kinds of cheese dips? I remember following Adam Ragusea's mac and cheese recipe that had citric acid to help the cheese melt without the fat seperating out, and that worked pretty well. You get the real cheese flavor with the American cheese texture, sounds like a win win to me! Might want to look into that if you haven't tried that, could make for an interesting video.
    Unrelated note: I'm currently making your panang curry recipe with lamb shoulder and it's braising in the oven, just had a taste of the curry sauce itself and it tasted amazing! Very excited to eat that in an hour or so :).

    Over in England we don’t have any of that sort of processed stuff. No doubt we have lots of processed foods but when it comes to things like the chorizo and cheese, or anything charcuterie based, it’s always a ‘finest’ product. Or imports from Poland to corner shops. ‘Finest’ meaning sourced from other countries or its place of origin.

      Sodium citrate will let you use any melting cheese as a replacement. Since sodium citrate is what they use in velveeta to make it melt like that and stay like that.

    delicious ! BTW sonny have to say it the new kitchen looks fabulous and pro! But to honest , your older videos where u used to shoot your self were much more fun ..These new videos are having the same feel of your beginning videos …can’t really pin point what is it (editing / sound or something else ) not sure .. This is nothing negative , just a feedback ( even without you asking for one :) ) ..big fan, always look fwd to your videos ! 😊

    Hahaha funny.. I love this show. Velveeta is a squishy glob of GMO vegetable oil and corn starch.. it's not cheese..but it's delicious. I think they use it in India for rat poison.. but we here in America have developed an immuni ty.
