I would bring the tray of mac and cheese to at least room temp, if not chilled and then broil it with the door slightly open. If you are going to do a breadcrumb top or crisp the cheese top. Don't be in a hurry to melt the cheese into the roux and stir gently. Either a hot roux with cold milk or visa versa - this enhances the combining process.ĭo shred your own cheese if it is an option. It will neatly separate the oil from your cheese and from your roux.Īssuming you are making a 1:1 roux, make sure you get your roux cooked down enough that the flour taste is out, but darker roux do not necessarily mean creamier sauces.
