Judee's Gluten Free Sodium Citrate Powder - Smooth Emulsifier for Cheese Sauce - Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient & Food Preservative - Gluten-Free & Nut-Free Keto-Friendly Non-GMO - 32 Oz

This sodium citrate works great for making smooth, creamy cheese sauces without the grainy texture. A small amount goes a long way and helps emulsify cheese into a consistent sauce for mac & cheese, dips, or fondue. The packaging is easy to reseal and store. Awesome pantry item if you like cooking and want more reliable results.

If you're into making a cheese sauce of any kind, you will wonder how you got along without this product - it's an absolute game changer. Sauces turn out amazing and you get the benefit of adding the salt at the same time. This stuff works great and is a good value - the bag should last a long time.

Judee's Sodium Citrate, I make my own Ketchups and BBQ sauces and I wanted to raise the amount of preservatives in them and so I added some Sodium Citrate to them and it seems to work fine and the ketchups and BBQ Sauces taste the same and so that was much appreciated and added value. I used in some Mac & Cheese and I have used some in some drinks and it seems to be pretty good and by that I mean I didn't notice any issues with the product. I think this Sodium Citrate plus some Monosodium Glutamate, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Citrate, Potassium Bitartrate, and Sodium Chloride may have helped to save my life from Potassium Chloride. I cannot have KCL as it could take my life. I think that Amazon should consider pulling all KCL supplements and products and especially Glucosamine Sulfate KCL. There are people who can die from just one pill of Glucosamine Sulfate KCL and I am one of those people who can and could die from just one pill of Glucosamine Sulfate KCL so I think that Amazon should consider pulling those products and I think they should report it to the FDA and that's just a suggestion is all. Anyways, the Sodium Citrate is a great product! I hope that Judee's stays away from any and all Potassium Chloride supplements and products! I think the FDA made a mistake with Potassium Chloride and some supplements that contain Potassium Chloride or contain it as part of the molecule such as Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride and because it's a holocaust event for some! The molecule Cefuroxime Axetil seems to also mimic the action of the KCL supplements and so it to should be reported to the FDA and I don't know how to report those things to the FDA and yet they should be reported and I think Amazon should consider removing those products regardless and because they are very hazardous to some! Again, I wanted to say that the Judee's Sodium Citrate from what I can tell is a very good product. It's also very good with a sprinkle of Cream of Tartar with my Mac and Cheese! Thank You!

I had never used sodium citrate before so I can't compare the quality of this brand to any other. I somehow ran across a recipe for queso using only sodium citrate and water with the cheese (real cheese, not processed), which the author said allowed the pure taste of the cheese to shine through. I am a lover of all things cheese, and the idea of making a queso with no roux or other flavor-changing additives had me instantly hooked, but where to find this odd ingredient? Trusty Amazon to the rescue! The recipe worked perfectly, so if there are sodium citrates out there which don't work well, this is better. It is a slightly coarse white or clear powder - coarser than cornstarch or flour but much finer than sugar or salt - and pours easily. This recipe took only 11 grams from the pound of sodium citrate I purchased, so the bag should last me a very long time. This is also used for molecular gastronomy concepts such as spherification (of what, I don't know) and given the qualities of this product I feel sure it would work there admirably as well. I gave only 4 stars because I have no basis for comparison of quality - this may well be a 5-star product.

This is exactly the ingredient we needed to make our cheese sauce smooth and creamy. Easy to use and adds no off flavors to the cheese! Perfect! I can highly recommend!!

Judee’s Sodium Citrate is the secret superhero of my kitchen, swooping in whenever I need to transform my cheese into pure, velvety bliss! You know that scene in every cheesy romance where two lovers run in slow motion toward each other? That’s me and my homemade nacho cheese sauce now. Before Judee’s, I tried making cheese sauces that turned into clumpy messes quicker than a 10-year-old spotting veggies on their plate. But with a little sprinkle of this magic dust? BAM. Silky, dreamy cheese that coats every chip, noodle, and carb in its cheesy path with perfect consistency. Mac and cheese? Oh, it’s gourmet now. Pretzel dipping sauce? An Olympic-level snacking event. I’d put it on a shoe if society would let me. The best part? No more wrestling with mystery clumps. Thanks to Judee’s, I’m living my best, meltiest life—and if cheese is wrong, I never want to be right. So if you’re ready to level up your cheese game, grab a box of this stuff and start singing your own cheesy anthem. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Saw this exact brand being used on Cook's Country America's test kitchen show about Mac & Cheese. Sodium Citrate is the ingredient used in American cheese and is what makes it melt nice and smooth. Simple to use and you can make amazing Mac & Cheese. I tried about 10 variations of the recipe on the package. Landed on 1 1/2 teaspoons Sodium Citrate with 1 1/2 cups half & half. Then shred or just slice thin 2 eight ounce blocks of pepper jack cheese and 1 eight ounce block of muenster cheese. Makes perfect amount of cheese sauce for 1 pound of cooked pasta. I prefer either large shells or large elbows. Make on stove top and then dump into a deep baking dish and top with 8 ounces pre-shredded italian blend just a couple of minutes on broil to get some nice color, that's it! Watch the test kitchen episode on youtube.....they used water instead of half & half, yes water.....

This works great for making cheese sauce. Add the specified amount to any variety of cheese and milk and it will make cheese sauce as smooth as if you used American cheese.
