Half-and-half is supposed to be "half milk, half cream" and is used primarily in coffee instead of heavy cream.

Use it for cheese sauces as well! They come out creamy and silky.

If you want a sauce that just won't break, add a single slice of the singles cheese, or 1/8 tsp of sodium citrate if you can find it, to 8 cups of cheese sauce. It won't change the flavor or color, but will create a silky smooth sauce that doesn't break like nacho cheese sauce.

Sodium citrate is an absolute game changer for cheese sauces.
