Cinema style Nachos cheese

[xyz123]

Hi, any suggestions on how to get/make cinema style Nachos cheese at home?

Thanks

Probably going to be like a roux with a load of appropriate cheese I would have thought.

Looks like BBC Food have instructions: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/nacho_cheese_sa...

The answer is to use a pinch of sodium citrate. From specialist chef ingredient suppliers / Amazon.

It emulsifies the fat and lumps of melted cheese into a lovely smooth dippable and pourable sauce.

Nom-tastic.

I read / watched somewhere that there should be enough sodium citrate in a burger cheese slice to emulsify a larger quantity of sauce to get that smooth style. Unfortunately I can't remember where.

Queso is the recipe you're looking for.. much better than adding the chemicals suggested.

Queso is lovely but it’s just not the same as the chemical soup you get at the cinema

I've tried the roux and cheese method many times and it just doesn't work. Taste too "gourmet" and solidifies quite fast.

A method I've seen on youtube quite a lot is condensed milk and American cheese, which might be a better solution.

As above. Grate a slab of cheese into a bowl, add a big pinch of cornflower, and then gradually stir into a saucepan, already full of a tin of condensed milk, gently heating (not boiling). The end result will be a lovely, velvety cheese sauce.
