This is exactly how to make a proper sauce and the perfect explanation of a bechamel (opposed to a roux). Too many that misunderstand the bechamel also complain that the flour is what makes their sauces gritty and grainy. Technique, temperatures, and constant attention is all that's needed; and it literally takes under 5 minutes to make. A little Sodium Citrate is all you need to add to keep it liquefied when cooled.
Hi Rik hope you're well, I just use the all in one from cold, 40g butter 40g plain flour pint of milk half teaspoon English mustard powder salt pepper and about 8 grates fresh nutmeg bring to boil on medium heat whisking all the time,simmer for 2 minutes then add as much of favourite cheese(s) , never lets me down and I'm happy with that 😊
I'm loving these basic videos! Seasoning, sauces etc because it will become a catalogue! I've never tried to make my own sauce so thank you for showing us what to do if we mess up! You are a fantastic teacher! Thanks Chef x
I love watching you and your laidback personality. You make cooking feel therapeutic and a joy. Who knew cooking could be something you enjoy instead of dreading. Many thanks! I can’t wait till your next video 😊
Nice one Rik. That's exactly how I make it. The command mustard sauce gives it a great back ground flavor. Delicious with corn beef and new potatoes. Thanks for sharing.
Had to look up that mustard and it sounds delish!Reviews on Amazon said it was a little horseradishy so of course i bought some to try!Gonna make a mac n cheese and use a lttle in the sauce..TY.
Homemade is much nicer than a packet one. I was taught to make cheese sauce in school cookery lessons. We learned that the mustard brings out the flavour of the cheese, which it does. Thanks for sharing, Rik.
Oohhh, this is a good recipe to watch 😊 I am such a lazy cook and when I make cheese sauce I mix everything together (using cold milk), bring to the boil and cook for a few minutes. I then add the cheese and stir until smooth. Your videos always bring joy to my heart. Thank you ❤
Spot on Rik👌🏻 Cauliflower cheese is one of my all time favourites and I make it regularly. My no next door neighbour is a fan too, I always make enough for both of us😊
Lovely❤i have nevee used mustard in that, but next time i will try👍 I have learned to make that sauce from mom❤. She uses white pepper and nutmeg in it
For once had made cheese sauce for mac and cheese two days ago. Do add one other ingredient, Worcestershire sauce. Depending on dish, meat, veg or fish also add different mustards from powder to all ready made. Thank you showing how to do. Many beginners of cooking shy away from making roux based sauce because they think it is complicated. Cheeses are one of food delights.
I pride myself on my Roux, and subsequently my Cheese Sauce. I have a special "sauce" pan, with rounded edges, which I have only recently purchased. It took me YEARS to get my husband to even try my sauces, as all he could taste was his mother's attempt which involved melting butter and shaking milk with flour, and adding that, hence was uncooked! Thank you for this, perfect! I won't get started on how she cooked cabbage!
@@dianeladico1769 one time mother in law and her mother were talking. The cooked whole cabaage!! was being chopped up, using a saucer, something I had not seen. Nana said, not sure it is cooked. Mother in law said, should be, I put it on the same time as the potatoes!! My husband grew up thinking cabbage was gray and limp when cooked.
@@patriciagoulter Oh ew. That's a mean way to treat a perfectly lovely, innocent vegetable. Your poor husband. But now he has you so it worked out for him in the end.
Cheers Rik, just how I was taught to make it, but using powdered Coleman’s mustard & a little grated nutmeg. Invaluable video for those wanting to learn, & the basic béchamel recipe can be adapted into so many different sauces. Thanks as always.👨🏼🍳🙏
I’ve taken to using mustard powder because it’s more neutral, not vinegary, but still provides that umami background, when I’m making Mac and cheese. For other dishes with stronger flavors that the sauce will have to compete with or complement I’ll go with whatever mustard is appropriate. For the longest time I went with ordinary American prepared mustard, but as I got older and learned to cook more dishes I found that flexibility is a good thing! Chinese hot mustard is a good addition when you’re making nachos…
Hallo Rik. Mal wieder ein schönes Rezept. Ich sehe es als Grundlage an. Man kann es vielseitig verändern. Es geht mit chilly oder kapern paprika etcetera. Der Fantasie sind keine grenzen gesetzt. Feine sache.gruß Rolf.😊
Absolute perfection when it comes to a cheese sauce. Doesn't get any better. You did it proud! Just don't use Mozzarella. I did that once and the sauce was very stretchy......to say the least! It ended badly. Throw in some shredded leftover BBQ (rotisserie) chicken and simmer for 10 minutes. Get some store bought Vol Au Vent cases, heat in the oven for 10 minutes, and then fill them up with that chicken mornay for an easy Sunday night dinner. OOOOOHHHHHHHH Or, you can use that fake crab meat from the deli to make a delicious seafood mornay Vol Au Vent. Equally as yummo!
Good evening, fine sir. Watching your videos has become a welcome high spot in the day.😊
So nice of you. Thank you. Best, Rik
