I've been using citrate for over 10 years in my cooking to create smooth cheese sauces. However, you should be aware of a few things. While the citrate acts as an emulsifier, It's actually a pH regulator and that is what keeps the cheese from "splitting". However, when you add things like pickled jalapenos, you start to push towards the acidic more than the buffer (citrate) can handle and you will start to have protein/fat separation in your sauce. My advice is to add the acidic ingredients ONLY after it's off the flame and has cooled a bit. I personally take the naked sauce off the flame, let it cool for a couple of minutes then add any ingredient that might possibly contribute to separation.. Like the onions, bacon and pickled chilis. Just my 2 cents mate.
Thanks for your help I’m still learning with this. I appreciate it and thank you for watching. Although it tasted really good, the texture was a bit off
Crazy we found your channel - we are doing a queso dip for a vid coming up, an we also just came across the sodium citrate and have been testing it. I found you by looking at Fajitas - subbed and smashed the like button man! 🤙🤙
Hey what’s up guys thanks for checking out the channel. I’ll be checking out your channel for sure. I just saw your Smashburger video you guys did just a few weeks ago. Thanks for the sub👍👍
Thanks for sharing this beautiful I love to try look so yummy 😋 x and sending full support for you and wishes you all the best will arrive 💝💐🙏 Love from DUBAI
Thanks for subscribing! Play around with the ratios. I still don’t know exactly what it should be so maybe do two, maybe three teaspoons per cup of liquid. Basically just get it to how you like it. Thanks👍
That’s pretty cool Ryan, I always make a roux but this definitely looks interesting for a quick and easy way. Pickled jalapeños and bacon oh yeah! Have a great week brother!
You just needed more sodium citrate, to allow the bacon grease to emulsify. You should also have made it runnier, knowing that after it cools down it will thicken some more. Nice job!
I don't recommend using direct heat with cheese, it can cause the protiens and fat to separate and you could end up with a grainy mess. I somewhat assume that's what happened with the pools of what look like butter fat on top.

@@RGsFood No worries mate. I enjoy your channel and stay safe in these trying times.
Brilliant info - thank you! 😊❤
Also, you use 2 to 3% of sodium citrate to weight of both cheese and liquid. So 1tsp here wasn’t enough he only accounted for the beer.

Thanks James!
Looks delish. I am new to using sodium citrate. I made some white queso that turned out well, I will have to give this recipe a try.
Yeah, I’ve only actually used sodium citrate a handful of times. It is super easy to throw a queso together. I appreciate you watching.👍
Dropping knowledge bro! I loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alton 👍👍

Thanks for watching Maika!
Good video. And the only one I've found so far that have a liquid to sodium citrate ratio. Subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing! Play around with the ratios. I still don’t know exactly what it should be so maybe do two, maybe three teaspoons per cup of liquid. Basically just get it to how you like it. Thanks👍
good stuff brother. Im looking forward to some LV footage;)...
Thanks Tommy. It’s coming soon👍
The latest sensation sweeping the nation 🤘🏻great taste in music Ryan 🤘🏻
LOL it’s crazy how many people are doing that recipe. Thanks for watching bro
This nacho dip sauce with Stella beer, bacon 🥓 with s.nitrate came out awesome... good eats 8)
We are actually tempted to try this out... since we have nachos like every other day...lol 😆 (no joke #truth)
Just8Ate definitely do it, it’s so easy!
What’s the channel that he mentions at the begging?
That’s pretty cool Ryan, I always make a roux but this definitely looks interesting for a quick and easy way. Pickled jalapeños and bacon oh yeah! Have a great week brother!
Pickles BBQ yea man, I always did a roux before also. Now I’m gonna be doing this all the time. So much easier
You just needed more sodium citrate, to allow the bacon grease to emulsify. You should also have made it runnier, knowing that after it cools down it will thicken some more. Nice job!
Thank you
Thanks! I ordered some of this and forgot what for 🤷🏼♀️🤣
My sodium citrate just arrived. Time to experiment.
Bacon 🥓 in queso?🤯 That looked so damn good!
Thanks man 🤘

That literally what the sodium citrate prevents. The extra fat on top was from the bacon grease that was left over.
Heck yeah, Velveeta
🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀👌YESSSS
Velveeta Hahahahah I am always learning something
🧀🧀🤘🤘
This is an excellent party queso with beer and bacon, delicious. You've got a new sub. Let's support eachother.🤝👍👌👉🙂
You gotta make that next UFC party
hell yea dude. so many variations with different cheeses and ingredients
Marduk. Fuck yeah!
Haha 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Now I know why my Queso sucked and was lumpy 😂
Practice makes perfect 👍
I get 1 kilo of sodium citrate for about $5.
Wow! That’s a great deal
🥤🤤🍿
🤘🤘
Cremeuse et lisse comme une FONDUE!
