Store Cheese Sauce

Here’s how to store cheese sauce:

1. Put the cheese sauce into a tightly sealed container. You can use a bowl with a lid, a plastic container, or a jar. Whatever you use to store the cheese sauce, just ensure it seals tightly.
2. You can also store the cheese sauce into a freezer bag.
3. Store the cheese sauce in the fridge if you intend to use it within 5 to 7 days. If you want to store it for longer, put it in the freezer.

Bonus Tips

• Stirring the cheese sauce several times while you’re reheating it can prevent it from sticking to the sides of the pan. Scrape the sides of the pan and combine it with the rest of the cheese sauce each time you stir it.
• You can use any reheating method that you feel is easier for you to follow and understand. If you ask us, we suggest you use the skillet reheating method because it enhances the flavors of the cheese sauce.
• You can store the cheese sauce into the fridge for about one week or 7 days. You can store the cheese sauce into the freezer for up to half a month or 6 months.

Go ahead and make extra cheese sauce because now, you can store it and reheat it later. Storing cheese sauce is great because it’s like an instant dip that just needs reheating.
