This isn't a recipe video you douche. They're trying to explain an ingredient. Ugh you're the worst

I'm self taught, have a Mexican spot. Finding solutions to the oily cheese for my Queso Chorizo fundido has led me to here which I appreciate the knowledge. To have it ready at hand I would need to mould into a block, correct? What are the steps for that? I use Munster for this, looking to experiment with pepper jack, oaxaca and chedder for other dishes. A future video would be very appreciated for the future self taught cooks like myself!

I am loving this one... Started using this to make a variety of easily melted flavored cheese. Don't worry about the other video comparisons. I don't want glitz. I want accurate info. Which you provide.

Add some to your tomato sauce. Helps cut down on the acidity.

How much better of a job at emulsifying does the sodium citrate do vs say, carrageenan if you melt cheese into evaporated milk?

Thank you guys. Very helpful

If the cheese is already melted, like the dark orange bowl, can sodium citrate be used to fix it or is it too late?

Try it.

Adding a tiny amount of sodium hexametaphosphate is another option for making a processed cheese brick or log without adding even more sodium citrate.

Most off the shelf pickled products contain calcium chloride as a crisping agent. Sodium citrate works by binding with the calcium in the cheese, so a problem might occur where sodium citrate binds with calcium chloride in the pickle juice lowering its availability to bind with the cheese calcium and lowering the emulsifying effect.

The molecular formula for sodium citrate is Na3C6H5O7

Hi, can I make cooked liquid eggs with it? Also, does this stack with Shmp n what are the effects? Love your stuff!

@Nate-9797

Pretty sure cooking eggs coagulates the proteins turning them solid, the sodium citrate is for emulsifying two liquids but the cooked egg will always be a solid.

I'm working on a cheese spread that is meant to be served cold. I'm having trouble keeping it smooth enough to be able to easily dip a chip or cracker without them breaking. I've tried adding half & half and heavy whipping cream but the spread is still too thick after refrigeration. Would Sodium citrate make my spread creamier? Even when it's cold? Thanks!

Just because they both contain 'citric' does not indicate that they are in any way similar functionally. Citric acid is an acid for lowering pH and does not have any sequestrant properties.

@@Modernist_Pantry Wrong. The citrate molecule is identical. Search KZread for DIY sodium citrate: besides citric acid, you’ll need sodium bicarbonate.

Actually, for about 90 years, most citric acid has come from mold being fed sugar water, not from citrus fruits. I mean, the end product is identical, but your sodium citrate didn't come from an orange.

How many grams should be added to 4 ounces of cheese? Are you implying 12 grams of citric acid for 4 ounces cheddar? Or convert 4 ounces to 113.4 grams and the multiply that by 3% to arrive at a little over 3 grams of citric acid?

Some cheeses naturally melt better than others. For the ones that don't naturally melt well you need a sequestrant to prevent separation. See our recipe here: blog.modernistpantry.com/recipes/american-style-brie-gouda-cheese-slices/
