  • I don't need to say a lot here...cheesy dip, chips, Texas, it's a beautiful thing! We're going to make two versions of Texas queso with one being the traditional American cheese version and then, of course, the fancy Josh version. Which one is the ultimate queso? Let's found out, shall we?

    Add sodium citrate in the fancy one to fix the texture issue, Papa.

      Yep, sodium citrate is the way to go, especially if you’re going to be reheating leftovers at some point. Stays smooth, unlike his fancy version.

    Evaporated milk and 8oz of cheddar. The simplest version of queso I've found. You can add whatever extras you want. Usually just toss in half a chub of chorizo and a cup of salsa.

      If you do the original version, it won't be so bad. I am also lactose intolerant and American cheese is something that doesn't have an effect on me at all. Mild cheddar is also quite safe. Maybe a bit gassy, at most. Mozzarella, on the other hand.....VERY DIFFERENT STORY!

    If you want the texture of the queso with the american without the american, just use sodium citrate with whatever semi-firm cheese you want. (Which is what american cheese has to make you not have to use a roux). Adam Ragusea has vids on it. I've made pepperjack mac and cheese with marble jack using the method.

    you need to add lime juice and baking soda to the fancy queso. It makes sodium citrate found similarlay in Amercan cheese that will give it a nice texture. You might even be able to get around making a bechemel using this. I hate having to use flour in my cheese dips.

    You need to try using sodium citrate to emulsify the fancy version and see what you think of the texture. Adding a slice or three of craft singles does the same thing but with pure sodium citrate you get all silky texture no cheese whiz flavor. It's salty though so test with no added salt at least at first.

    @slynkadink2416 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't understand why people always complain about American Cheese and call it fake. It's literally just a cheese blend with a splash of food coloring. It's real cheese... That's not to say it's always the right flavor for the application, but discounting it because of some myth that it's not real cheese is ridiculous.
    """According to the Standards of Identity for Dairy Products, part of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), to be labeled "American cheese" a processed cheese is required to be manufactured from cheddar cheese, colby cheese, washed curd cheese, or granular cheese, or any mixture of two or more of these. The CFR also includes regulations for the manufacturing of processed American cheese.
    Because its manufacturing process differs from traditional cheeses, federal laws mandate that it be labeled as "process American cheese" if made from combining more than one cheese or "process American cheese food" if it contains at least 51% cheese but other specific dairy ingredients such as cream, milk, skim milk, buttermilk, cheese whey, or albumin from cheese whey are added."""
    tl;dr it's a cheese blend with other dairy ingredients. All cheese is processed cheese.
