Why does my cheese sauce always have lumps in it!? I always have to sieve it to get rid of the lumps before I stir the cheese in! Any suggestions cos I hate washing up at the best of times so extra equipment really is a no no for me ha ha! thank you x

The best way to make it is to make a paste with the flour and milk, then add the rest of the milk slowly, add the cheese at the end and to keep stirring all the way through.If that doesn't work use a blender at the end
hope this helps

I always make mine in the microwave, i melt the butter first and then add flour to make a roux, then add the milk and then microwave until it thickens and then add the cheese and stir, mines never has lumps this way and is so so quick xx

I totally cheat and as a trained chef that's bad but hey ho!!

Cornflour is a wonderful thing!!! Heat your milk the mix up some cornflour with a little cold milk or water until smooth, take milk of the heat add cornflour and stir, put back on heat and stir until thickened then add your cheese

I just make a roux by melting the butter in a pan & then adding enough flour to make it into a paste & then keep it on a medium heat whilst adding the milk a bit at a time until you get the desired consistancy, then I take it off the heat & stir in the grated cheese until it's all melted

Thank you all - I'm gonna have to give it another go tonite! I love the microwave method! My son already knows that dinner is usually ready when the microwave pings! I make 99% of all of his food & freeze it so defrost & cook it when I need to but I feel bad that he knows the PING! x

I usually make mine the same way as Blondelou does, it never fails to be smooth and creamy.
