  1. OMG, the comments!!
    Y’know, sometimes people, even with sophisticated palates, want to eat something that’s easy, tasty, comforting, and maybe a bit unhealthy. Thank you ATK for this recipe. For the high and mighty naysayers, give it a rest! You’ll probably live longer without obsessing over every ingredient.

  2. Emulsifiers change the way fats interact with water; I want better proof that this doesn't also affect stomach chemistry in harmful ways. And I made a beautiful cheese sauce with just cream, cream cheese and natural cheddar yesterday. No starch even, as it was for cauliflower. You can have simple, beautiful sauces without a chemistry set.

  3. This comment section has "American cheese isn't really cheese" (it is), "Kraft Singles are not really American cheese" (they are), and my personal favorite, "macaroni is not a noodle." I had no idea this topic was so controversial. Give me your mac & cheese hot takes please.

  4. Amazon sells Sodium Citrate, a tiny amount of this emulsifier makes any cheese sauce smooth. It’s probably the same emulsifier the presenter was talking about. It even turns cheddar and water into that cheese sauce you get at the cinema with nachos.

  5. Online a few like Adam Ragusea and Ethan Chlebowski have talked about using sodium citrate. This solves having to use a processed cheese. Considering how very little is used in a recipe. It's quite economical to buy online. It's just shredded cheese, a liquid and sodium citrate. There's your cheese sauce.
