Questions about Cheez Whiz pasteurized process cheese sauce
How do you make cheese sauce smooth when heating it?
Warm it gently in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often; stop as soon as it is hot, before it bubbles. For a thinner sauce, stir in a little milk a spoonful at a time.
What can you make with processed cheese sauce?
Spoon it over baked potatoes, nachos or steamed vegetables, or stir it through cooked pasta for a quick cheese sauce. It also works in Welsh rarebit-style toast, though it tastes milder and smoother than a sauce made with mature Cheddar.
How should you store cheese sauce after opening?
Keep the jar tightly closed in the fridge and use a clean spoon each time. Don’t leave it sitting out during a meal; return it to the fridge promptly.
Can you use cheese sauce instead of grated cheese in a recipe?
Yes, in dips, pasta sauces and toppings where a smooth, creamy finish is wanted. It won’t brown or stretch like grated Cheddar, so for a crisp topping, mix it with grated cheese or use the grated cheese instead.
Is the light version lower in fat than the regular cheese sauce?
Yes: the light version has 9.5 g fat per 100 g, compared with 21 g in the regular sauce. It has more carbohydrate too: 16 g versus 8.9 g per 100 g.
How much cheese sauce is a typical serving?
A tablespoon, about 33 g, is a practical serving for a baked potato or a small portion of vegetables. That amount provides 91 kcal.
