I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

Cheese is pretty healthy. It will actually make you feel full unlike processed junk food which bypasses the full feeling completely so you consume more.
Corn syrup is evil
Processed cheese may or may not be worse, depending on the processing and depending on the cheese you compare it to. There are thousands of kinds of cheese.
And even the healthiest cheese can still be eaten in excess. That was my point, not that cheese is unhealthy, but adding “a healthy amount” is phrase that really means more than one person should eat.
Thats true. American cheese is just water(chemicals) down cheddar.
Sodium citrate. If you want the best cheese sauce you’ll ever have that doesn’t break, use whatever cheese you want for the sauce, and add a teaspoon of sodium citrate. You can refrigerate that cheese sauce and it won’t break.
What’s the ratio of cheese to sodium citrate?
6 cups or a pound and a half of cheese, shredded, half cup of flour, half cup of butter, 2.5 cups of half and half, 1.5 cups of milk. Add a teaspoon of sodium citrate to that much cheese sauce, or about 8 cups of sauce. That will make enough sauce for a pound of macaroni product noodles. I generally do twisty or shells
If you don’t have pure sodium citrate, a single slice of American Cheese will do the trick.
I appreciate this tip, I’ve had lots of trouble trying to make home made cheese sauce. Even if I felt the flour and milk cooked long enough and I added cheese slowly, I had trouble getting everything to come together. It may be that I still wasnt cooking long enough either because I have a bad habit of scorching the milk, so I would pull it off the burner perhaps too soon. I don’t know exact I haven’t tried it enough, because I don’t like wasting food.
Turn your burner down. If you’re scorching the milk, your burner is too high. I do all of this at a 3/10 on my stove. You cannot rush this. Patience is key.
You too watched NileRed?
No. I’m a retired chef.
Nice. I just watch someone make that on a video. So thats why I asked.
