Preparation & Use

Stir the sauce gently before removing from the can. Heat on a stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, or transfer to a steam table insert and heat to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F. For microwave reheating of smaller portions, use a covered container and stir midway through. Do not boil, as high heat can cause the sauce to thin or separate. Refrigerate any unused portion promptly and use within a few days of opening.

Application Areas

Chef-Mate Basic Cheddar Cheese Sauce fits into menu categories ranging from Mexican-inspired entrees and sides to American comfort food, concession snack service, and institutional meal programs. It works as a standalone topping, a recipe ingredient, or a buffet line condiment. The bulk can format suits operations that portion by ladle or squeeze dispenser rather than individual packets.
