Product Description
Sodium Citrate is the sodium salt of Citric Acid. Like Citric acid, it has a sour taste. Like other salts, it also has a salty taste. It is commonly known as sour salt and is mainly used as a food additive, usually for flavor or as a preservative. It gives club soda both its salty and sour flavors. It reduces the acidity of foods, so it allows spherification with strongly acidic ingredients. Sodium Citrate is also used as an antioxidant in food as well as a sequestrant. It dissolves easily and acts instantaneously. Customers have had fantastic results using this product for their mac and cheese recipes and cheese sauces.

You know the salt content has got to be high (per the "sodium" part of the name :) ), and Modernist Pantry says that 100g has 26,670mg of sodium (1111% of US RDA)... and when I asked a question here on Amazon, the extremely-helpful Frederick J. Schillinger said "I just weighed a tablespoon of the stuff to be 16g... so a teaspoon is about 5.3 grams roughly. My scale isn't exactly accurate down to the gram, but that gives you a decent idea of about how much is in a teaspoon. Which means a half teaspoon of the stuff, if you do the math, does work out to be roughly ~700mg of sodium." So there you go - if you add 1/2 tsp to 8 oz of cheese, it's 700 mg of sodium. Enough that you wouldn't want to do this every day, but not enough to give you a heart attack... though the cheese itself might ;)
1/4 cup water or broth
1 tsp sodium citrate
1 diced tomato, about 1/3-1/2 cup
2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
2 chopped mild jalapenos (if using spicy you may want to remove seeds)
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
6 ounces mild cheddar cheese- about two cups
mix water and sodium citrate in a saucepan until dissolved then place over medium heat on stove top, bring to a simmer. Add vegetables and seasonings and cook in water for about five minutes until soft, then gradually add shredded cheese, stirring well to combine.
The tomato adds water to the sauce. If you don't use the tomato you need to increase the water to 1/2 cup. The ratio that works for me is: 1/2 cup water, 1 tsp sodium citrate, and 6 ounces of cheese.
Hope this helps someone!
I immediately ordered package to see how good it gets.
Upon reception, I melted a mix of cheddar and French Comte, put a bit of this magic power on top with some milk and voila! I had liquid cheese in which I could dip my chicken nuggets and chips.
The only downside to this product I have is that the dosage is not clear. If you put too much, it will alter the cheese taste. It is written on the package that the dosage vary between 0.5% and 7%, this is loo large of a bracket! So for 100g (about 4Oz), you can put between 0.5g and 7g of the same powder to achieve your expected results?
In conclusion:
I still think that if you love melted cheese, this is the item for you but you will have to experiment with it to get to the proper balance, liquid versus taste altering... Too little and it won't be liquid or you will have lumps. Too much and you will taste it.
4 stars.
Wow, I cannot believe how magically it works! Added 2 teaspoons of this stuff to a cup of skim milk (which makes the milk turn clear, very interesting), bring to a simmer, mix in 4 cups of cheese slowly (I used an immersion blender to break it up quickly), and TA DA! the most amazing cheese sauce and mac and cheese you will ever taste. It tastes so intensely cheesy, so smooth and creamy, I cannot believe it took me so long to find this stuff. I'm gonna put this stuff all over steamed veggies, baked potatoes, nachos. It's AMAZING. Love love love. And so easy!

Yes ,,it does what all recipes says it will .
I am happy with what I ordered.
Notes below***
This really works ................ you just have to follow EXACTLY the ratio of Sodium Citrate to the other ingredients ---- too little and the sauce will be runny -- too much and it will clomp/gloob and harden back to its ''cheese;'' state.
Use little amount of product with a small amount of water ( 1/4 tsp of product with 1/4 cup of water.
I would recommend this product with the caveat that you must follow instructions.
Experiment with this product ,,,, I have and once I learned the ratio it works wonderfully.
