Satiny, perfectly smooth cheese sauce is hard to replicate. The nature of cheese is to clump up when combined with other ingredients.

I am lucky to work with a very talented professional chef on the cooking show Between The Eats. In our lobster mac and cheese episode, Chef David revealed his chef tip secret to the perfect cheese sauce.The secret is to coat the shredded /grated cheese in corn starch before adding it to the pan. It works like a charm every time!
Thank you Chef David from all of us! Our cheese sauces will never be clumpy again!
