A Cheese the Melts Beautifully?

[Anonymous]

I'm making Cauliflower mash tomorrow night and normally I just throw in any cheese that is in my fridge. However, I'm making a special meal tomorrow night for guests and would like to dress it up a bit. What kind of cheese would you suggest that is amazing melted?

Gruyere?

Cheddar, gruyere, monterrey jack, muenster. All of those will work well if you melt them correctly.

Velveeta

Yes. Gruyere.

Put it in with some evaporated milk to make the cheese sauce on the stove top. Makes a beautiful roux.

Fontina, gruyere. Cheddar does not melt well.

This isn't a roux. A roux has flour, a fat, and liquid.

Ok, roux-like - creamy w/o the butter and flour and cream. Evaporated skim milk works fine.

it's true. velveeta seems to melt the best. others tend to get grainy.

Not even remotely roux like. A roux is pretty simple. Fat, usually butter, and flour. That's it.
