"so called processed" bahaaaa
Sorry to ask probably a very dumb question to Americans out there but what is American cheese as opposed to other cheese?
Delicious 😋
That’s what good mac n cheese sounds like
A tip: do not eat the mac n cheese from Auto-Zone. It has send me to the ER twice.
Processed cheese is real cheese with added sodium citrate. Very unlike "cheese food" or "cheese product" which contain all sorts of other shtuff.
The biggest concern my kids had, was…”How come it’s not orange?” 🤦♀️
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.
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.
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.
It may be easier to get a creamy mac & cheese that way, but it isn't going to produce the best-tasting results.
I have a better hack that allows both creaminess as well as lots of flavor.
Thank You for Sharing!!! I'm going to try this out! 🥰
What is American cheese? I can buy in the deli case?
Just "no" for me. I also dislike this short format.
Yeah, a great way to do it if you want texture instead of flavor.
I’m not watching vertical videos on YouTube. I watch on my iPad or computer. My eyes are side by each and not stacked.
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.
Unfortunately, American cheese is not actually cheese. 🤮
It is fine for a grilled cheese sandwich. But otherwise, NOPE
Yeah that’s a healthy tip.
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.
Use any cheese you want and add sodium citrate. You're welcome
What’s American cheese? Can someone give me example.
The starch water also helps out stabilize the emulsion. If you want to use any cheese do this: weigh your liquid and cheese, add 2% sodium citrate–don't overheat.
This is nice in a pinch, but using evaporated milk as well as the starchy pasta water yields the creamiest Mac and cheese I’ve ever had.
Oh yeah, try to buy American chees in Europe.
