Cheesy heaven
Use this to make melted cheese sauce and 'cheese slices' after. Works great, i use 4-8% weight sodium citrate of combined extra mature and gouda cheese, disolved into boiling water and add the cheese (grated) in to the water mix. Use hot on burgers or steak baguettes for immediate enjoyment or set in a suitable container and slice for melting into sausage muffins at a later date.This is now a cupboard must.Edit: realised the instructions for usage might be slightly confusing so heres a simpliar explanation125ml water (beer is a great substitute, adds a nice flavour profile)200g gouda400g extra mature24-48g (normally about 30g) sodium citrateIve also added finely diced chilli which is nice, liquid smoke also works just subsitute the smoke for some of the water.Update:Been using this now for quite a long time and it's pretty much a staple ingredient in my cupboard. I'm alot less methodical in terms of weights and measures but it's always seems to work. I mess with the types of cheese, sometimes using cream cheese and extra strong cheddar.Still highly recommend.

Say Cheese!
American cheese (Velveeta, Kraft, etc) is probably widely reviled in the UK. BUT...if you want to make nachos, cheeseburgers, toasted cheese, etc, you need something that will melt. Enter sodium citrate which is the needed product to emulsify hard cheese. Mix with grated hard cheese, add some milk/cream and a little salt and heat until liquid. Decant into a mould and you have great home-made American cheese. Google the recipe.

Packaged well delivered on time
Bought with Glucose Powder to make St. Marks Solution has Dioralyte is hard to get hold of, I have short bowel so dehydration is a big problem for me. I’ve recently found out that what I bought is expensive and there are cheaper ones less than half the price I’ve paid for this so won’t be buying this one again as can’t really afford it. It arrived on time and well packaged.

Great plaster retarder.
I used this to retard plaster cure time, worked very nicely for that purpose, and much cheaper than the "magic potions" sold in small sachets to do the same thing. I'm only a novice plasterer and working solo, so having an additive that could assist by slowing the setting time by 50% is very handy.

Didn’t work for me
I followed a recipe using this to make a cheese sauce. It’s supposed to somehow dissolve the cheese to make a nacho sauce.For me it didn’t work, the sauce was lumpy. I will try an experiment again and report back if I have success, but for now it’s a no from me!
