How to use the double boiler method

Cheese sauce can be prepared in numerous ways, but Dan Whalen opts for a recipe that includes evaporated milk, cornstarch, and shredded cheese such as Monterey Jack. The freshly made sauce is smooth, but if it is reheated too quickly from a cold state, it may separate. This is why using a double boiler is the safest approach.
When cheese is overheated, its proteins can become overly firm, leading to unsightly clumps that appear disconnected from the cheese's moisture. The double-boiler method provides gentle heating, preventing this issue. Double boilers are available in both stainless steel and non-stick options, such as Farberware's Classic 2-Quart Double Boiler or T-Fal's Specialty Nonstick Double Boiler. However, if you lack the time or equipment for this method, you can also heat the nacho cheese sauce on low in a pan, which is the next best way to manage the heat and keep the sauce smooth.
