A splash of milk helps the real aged cheddar melt into a smooth sauce.

The sauce will still melt, though dairy milk produces the creamiest result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this work with a hot plate or portable burner for dorm use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, a small electric hot plate or portable induction burner works fine.
