Why Your Mac and Cheese is Always Greasy (And How to Fix It)

Every pan of macaroni and cheese I've watched come out wrong had the same thing in it. Flour. Somebody stood at a stove making a sauce, poured it over noodles, and wondered why it came out soupy on Sunday and greasy by Monday. There's an ingredient in a real baked macaroni that most people watching this have never once put in theirs. It's been in that dish for about a hundred years, and it costs about two dollars. I learned it in Detroit, in my aunt's kitchen on the west side, in a house full of people who'd come up out of Alabama for the plants and brought every recipe they owned with them. She didn't explain it. She just put a can on the counter in front of me. What's in this video: - Why bagged shredded cheese ruins your sauce before you start - The blend — sharp for flavor, young for melt, and why one alone won't do it - What flour actually does to the cheese you paid for - Why a white sauce breaks after forty minutes in an oven - The difference between a pan you can spoon and a pan you can cut - The binder my aunt used instead, and why it sets - Boiling the noodles short, and layering instead of stirring - 350 degrees, covered thirty, uncovered fifteen — and the rest nobody waits for Tell me in the comments what goes in your family's pan. Somebody watching this has an aunt who puts something in there I've never tried, and I'd rather hear it from you than read it anywhere else. More of this every few days.
