Home Made Processed American Cheese Recipe Just like a DIY Kraft cheese slice recipe, or a DIY Velveeta recipe - this American cheese recipe is the one you need to make melty cheese for your next cheeseburger or queso fundido recipe. Homemade velveeta for your cheeseburger!

Ingredients:
700g (25 ounces) cheddar cheese (or Colby, Monterey Jack, Wisconsin brick)
300 mL (10 ounces) milk
50g (3½ Tbsp) butter 
18g (3¼ tsp) sodium citrate 
1g (1/8 tsp) sodium hexametaphosphate (optional)


Method:
Shred the cheese.
In a pot over medium heat, melt the butter into the milk.
Add the sodium citrate and sodium hexametaphosphate, stir to dissolve and bring to 150ºF.
Slowly mix in the shredded cheese and stir / whisk to a smooth constancy.
Transfer to molds* while still hot.
Store in the fridge.


*Flexi silicone molds works best for this, though yogourt and sour cream containers are great too (though you may have to cut a yogourt container open to get the cheese out).

J.L. Kraft is credited with the invention of what we now know as “American process Cheese” or just American Cheese.
After leaving Canada and moving to Chicago to be a cheese wholesaler, Kraft had been working on the idea of pasteurised and canned cheese. This canning extended the shelf life of cheese and was something that had been long experimented with by European cheesemakers.
Kraft then struck on the idea of pasteurisation and adding an emulsifier (sodium phosphate) - this process led to a cheese with along shelf life, consistent quality and flavour, and better melting qualities. It was patented in 1916 and was an instant success. All of this was also achieved using base cheese that was inferior and would have been considered waste just a few years earlier.
