Hello

I am trying to find out why my white sauce keeps seperating?

Not trying to take Mezzaluna's job but you would be better off posting this in the Food Discussion Forum where you will get a better response no one will think to look for it here. And welcome to Cheftalk you have come to the right place with that question!

I've moved this to a more appropriate forum. Thanks for looking out for me Cakerookie! I've been under the weather.

If you're referring to a Bechamel, it could be because you're holding it at too high a temperature for too long. The same goes for cream thickened and reduced sauces I've noticed. I've noticed this in a lot of the soups I've seen being held in a bain for the day, many of the cream soups separate, probably caused by the too-high holding temperature. Try and keep it just at the minimum safe holding temperature.

Tell us what method you are using so we can focus in on any possible missteps.
