Notes
The general recipe for queso
3 parts cheese to 2 parts liquid by weight
2% of the total weight of cheese + liquid in sodium citrate
3.5% of the weight of the cheese in corn starch
Once you have the ingredients all you do is put the liquid on medium heat on the stove, cut the cheese into smallish pieces (about 1 inch cubes for me), add the sodium citrate and corn starch to the cheese, and then add that mixture to the heating liquid and stir until it comes together.
