  • Can the sauce be frozen to use at a later date??

  • @9aspengold5 possible..but texture might be compromised!

  • i add a little cheddar cheese into mine and add the sauce to the pasta to make a lovely macaroni cheese :)

  • right..that is awesome...I do that as well!

    Keith

  • Good sauce in principle but to many cloves by one or two..and the onion pique should of had a bay leaf..and bechamel is not without the nutmeg?..Just sounds like a good ol milk sauce you concocted..where's the form?

  • are you a chef? sounds like you are...it's been a long time since we filmed this..but I do remember it tasting very nice..

    thanks for watching...

  • @OM3N1R I will take your advise. thinking about it, it will probably curdle

  • @9aspengold5

    I would advise against it personally.

  • Nice simple method.. I have trouble with my bechamel sauce. Perhaps this will help me. Thanks for a great video!

  • We use clarified butter. IT is frowned uppon if we use whole butter, especially for anything to do with a roux.

  • when making the roux the butter needes to be sizzililng before u add the flour

  • @YAYItsMeganMoran that would be another sauce...called MORNAY

    

  • Lovelly, but i do different, i warm the milk with the onion piquet before i mix all. need 2 pots, but in restaurant is not a problem...

  • @mjallenocala bechamel is a base... exact the same thing as milk sauce.
