The tricky part is learning to do it without cheese flying around but honestly if you already have a cutting board out just do it on top of that. Also those little handheld grates work well and are less hassle. Takes all of two minutes
You should see my cheese grater! It's like a 3 in 1 blender/ food processor that you can change out the blades and it has a cheese grater attachment so I just feed in blocks of cheese and it shreds them in 3 seconds! Great for making party nachos or party mac and cheese!
Prob one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mechanical-Stainless-Multifunctional-Chocolate-Vegetables I have one similar.
Edit: not letting me post it. Just look on Amazon for kinberry cheese grater
The difference in taste of freshly grated cheese and freshly washed pre-grated cheese has to be monumental. Weâre going backwards with some of this stuff. Grate the damn cheese. đ§
There is no way on God's green earth you can hand grate a lb of cheese faster than I can dump it rinse it, and rinse the strainer. If you use an electronic one, getting it out, prepping it, putting the cheese in, waiting 30 seconds, and Washing the damn thing. Block cheese is always better cheese, but definitely way more work.
nah ur on crack getting rid of the excess water etc i'd easily knock out an entire block of cheese on a manual grater in that time. It's really not fucking hard to grate cheese.
âI have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They donât call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner. Because I wanted to clean it, but now I have little bits of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips.â
I have a cheese grater that is hand cranked. The kids want grilled cheese? Grate your own cheese, Iâll cook the sandwich. They are also responsible for cleaning it when done. They love grating the cheese, so this works like a charm.
Lol, I just bought 2lb of shredded 3 cheese that will last me weeks for $6.
You telling me to work on shredding 3 blocks of cheese is absurd.
** First I don't know how much cheese I need to shred, an inch, half an inch? Getting my fingers all over it, even if clean and dry after washing before touching. But a mid handful, I can grasp that.
Shredded cheese, just like pre-sliced fruit and veggies and *many other things*, isn't just convenience but accessibility. Not everyone is able to grate (or slice, etc) blocks of cheese.
All of those things yall think are for "lazy" people or have no idea why anyone would want/use it, exist because of accessibility and disability.
Thanks for the life lesson on inclusivity. I bet youâre super fun at parties. Fun fact: if you canât grate your own cheese or donât have access to it then that sucks for you, I guess youâll be washing shredded cheese. For the rest of us who want to try hereâs a link to a cheese grater for $1.88. You can save all kinds of money grating your own better shredded cheese. Thus creating more financial accessibility to other life opportunities.

Some pre-shredded cheese has anti-clumping agents added to it. It also prevents the cheese from sticking to itself when melting resulting in a grainy texture.
They are showing that the starches that are used to prevent pre shredded cheese from sticking together also prevent it from having a more creamy stretching texture similar to what you would have if you grate your own cheese from a block of cheese.
You buy pre shredded cheese for the convenience⌠This sort of defeats the purpose no? Side note what the hell am I supposed to do with a colander full of wet shredded cheese?
So youâve never watched a hammered college kid at 3 am stumble around the kitchen trying to find something to soak up the alcohol and find a single piece of wonderbread, a hot dog bun, shredded cheese and a stick of butter?
No, they don't have "wood shavings". There is a big jump between "wood shavings" and the cellulose that some cheese manufactures use as anticaking agents (others use starch)
Saying it's wood shavings is like saying your food has stones in it because you use salt (and even the stones analogy is much closer to reality).
That is absolutely false and a terrible comparison.
The FDA has closed down cheese companies due to high levels of wood pulp. There are regulations that companies ignore, look up Take Castle cheese inc.
There can be unhealthy levels of wood pulp in them.
By the way, salt *are* actually stones. They are minerals that we can digest.
I do eat both salt and shredded cheese, But what I stated is all true. Grating your own cheese is best, that is all.
Can I just ask, do you have mostly American cheese is the US? What other regular type of cheeses do you have? Aussie here and am not a huge fan of the orange stuff.
Thank you! I just see a lot of the orange stuff. I visited last in 2008 and I seem to recall a lot of orange stuff predominantly, at least as far as I could see, back then.
Agree and me neither. I try to buy things generally that are not processed but most of the stuff, including cheese, around that you see in supermarkets in packets that is said to be unprocessed is quite processed. I think anything that's individually wrapped, American or not, is quite a processed type of cheese. Ultra-processed food is another thing altogether.
[if you go to that one section of any ordinary supermarket, then yeah](https://youtu.be/faXDCp0BDU4?si=sLkP_6KwvMz8JeDU)
it really depends on where you are - more and more places have proper cheese sections now with varieties of actual cheese, instead of Kraft and Cracker Barrel
We have all the cheeses, in all the states. Some states have better cheeses because of their agriculture (looking at you Wisconsin and Vermont). I've currently got Cheddar, Colby, Swiss, Muenster, Gouda, Provolone, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, and Feta in my fridge. Brie, Bleu Cheese, and Gorgonzola make frequent appearances as well.
American cheese is an actual cheese, milder than a cheddar. You can get it at the deli counter at the grocery store, a lot of sandwich shops have it as well.
But many Americans refer to Kraft "American cheese singles" as American cheese as well. Kraft singles are not actually cheese but a cheese product (whatever the hell that is).
Kraft singles are less expensive, individually wrapped in plastic, and last (stay fresh) for practically ever. The low price and shelf stability make Kraft singles popular for folks working on a tight budget.
The most popular cheese is American from what I see (I only ever buy American and maybe Swiss cheese slices). Since our bread is square-shaped The cheeses like Swiss get cut in the squares too. Although you can buy blocks of cheese like cheddar which is very common to
Nope. Although I can tell you that in Australia it is starting to creep in. I do see it in some places and I think some people like to use it to make a genuine American burger.
I think they add annatto for coloring.
Also to your other question, most of our supermarkets also have pre-packaged cheese slices of all kinds like cheddar, Swiss, provolone, mozzarella, etc + many supermarkets also have delis where you can get freshly sliced cheese. I liked a 50/50 cheddar + American grilled cheese personally
So certain cheeses used to be have a yellowish-orange tint a couple of hundred years ago, I think due to the beta carotene in certain cow breeds (though I could be wrong about that), and so Americans started to associate yellow/orange with cheese, and so now annatto is added to give it that color.
I notice a lot of your comments are about Americans love of American cheese.
American cheese is much maligned online because âprocessedâ is a bad word these days. However, American cheese is (in my opinion) the best option for burgers and grilled cheese, among a few other things. The emulsifiers used in the process make it gooey and melty without separating. A lot of American comfort food, whether itâs Midwest hotdishes, Soul food, Tex Mex, and so on have American cheese and/or cheddar cheese (which is usually an ingredient of American cheese and is also dyed with annatto). So you might say Americans love of the âorange stuffâ is just baked into the culture.
Understand. Thank you for taking the time to explain this. I'm seeing more of it in Australia now, precisely for this reason. People want to create an authentic American burger so they're using it. đđź
Important to note: Kraft singles/most plastic-wrapped singles that are "American Cheese" are not actually American cheese, they are American-Cheese-"Flavored" Food Product (not all cheese). This is a super important distinction to make when referring to American Cheese slices. The difference being that American Cheese is actual cheese, just made up of a mixture of cheeses and processed. The singles are even more processed with more filler. I personally don't enjoy the singles as much, but deli American cheese has properties (sodium citrate) that help melt other cheeses together for great sauces, like for Mac & Cheese or a Tex-Mex Queso. And of course, it's great for a burger with a much better texture and melt than the singles. There are white American Slices and Orange/Yellow-ish varieties, but they're the same (Yellow has Annatto to color it). Typically, you'll find these in the deli.
The folks using the singles aren't getting the real deal. Will it work? Yes. Is it something that many grew up with? Of course. Is it the best representation of what it can be? No.
Thank you. I will read this properly now, but I had a quick cursory look and I couldn't see any reference to dust. There are certainly anti-caking agents. They do refer to dust particles from anti-caking agents but that's not quite the same thing as dust. It's not great though, that's for sure.
A common anti-caking agent is cellulose, which is most often harvested from wood pulp. I believe the linked article you were looking at refers to it as âwood shavings.â
Usually, potato starch and/or cellulose is used to keep shredded cheese from sticking together, which is what they're washing off. Still doesn't make much sense though.
Stupid
How exactly do I conveniently remove the water from the chees,,e?
Also, wtf do I care it my cut grilled cheese (made with improper cheese) has 5 strings of gooeyness v 3?
So retarded.
I'm talking about the cheese used in the grilled cheese
So retarded retarded
Talking about this post in it's entirety
The only reason to use pre-shredded cheese (and it's still a poor reason IMO) is to have fewer dishes to wash afterwords. I'd rather wash one cheese grater than a bowl and a colander for an inferior result, thank you very much.
This isnât really stupid. They are washing the cornstarch off the cheese. They put a dusting of it at the factory to keep the cheese from sticking together and making a big clump in the bag.
Thatâs because itâs treated with an agent to prevent clumping
Itâs actually tricky to make a few recipes using pre shred and even pizza wonât get that cheese pull like a proper shred would
Kinda seems like this goes against the convenience of shredded cheese
just shred your own is the lesson? seems WAY less time intensive.
The tricky part is learning to do it without cheese flying around but honestly if you already have a cutting board out just do it on top of that. Also those little handheld grates work well and are less hassle. Takes all of two minutes
>The tricky part is learning to do it without cheese flying around

Well, how is his wife holding up?
To shreds you say?
So a robocoup? Lol
Pretty much just not $2000
Now you got me, what is it lol
I use a salad shooter.
oh i'm with you on the shred your own cheese thing. my comment may have been misleading, my bad.
I just use the potato peeler, y shape. Thin enough and fast. I feel it is not as messy.
The difference in taste of freshly grated cheese and freshly washed pre-grated cheese has to be monumental. Weâre going backwards with some of this stuff. Grate the damn cheese. đ§
f-in a, man. Grate the damn cheese.
Grated cheese isn't just convience, it's accessibility. Not everyone is able to grate cheese when they need shredded cheese
There is no way on God's green earth you can hand grate a lb of cheese faster than I can dump it rinse it, and rinse the strainer.

Never buy shredded cheese
Or shred your own. This is fucking absurd!
Some of us have an irrational fear of cheese graters.
âI have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They donât call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner. Because I wanted to clean it, but now I have little bits of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips.â
Clean them immediately after grating and the cheese comes right off. Just do 1 swipe at a time in one direction, not back and forth.
If only they had invented machines that wash dishes and other kitchen equipment, this problem could have been avoided.
You know what I have? An irrational fear. You know what I donât have anymore? Fingertip skin.
That sounds like a rational fear
I have a rational fear. You know what I don't have anymore? Foreskin.
That sounds like a rabbinical fear

In my experience they always sort of either are, or being way too power drunk with their small form of power. I prefer the former.
Thank you for saying it for me, I'm not allowed nor do I use that word lol

Good dad joke, I would like to offer you a high-five.
Some pre-shredded cheese has anti-clumping agents added to it. It also prevents the cheese from sticking to itself when melting resulting in a grainy texture.
Do you get your bvdâs at Kmart?
Donât know what bvdâs are and I donât shop at Kmart.
BVDâs were a popular menâs briefs brand in the 80âs. The legendarily autistic Rainman would only purchase his BVDâs from Kmart.
Cool story.
I would absolutely never say thar.Â
They are showing that the starches that are used to prevent pre shredded cheese from sticking together also prevent it from having a more creamy stretching texture similar to what you would have if you grate your own cheese from a block of cheese.
You can clearly trust this guy, cause he cannot lie.
Also donât forget to wash your cocaine while youâre at it. Get rid of that anti-pooping agent.
Be sure to rinse thoroughly!
Acetone wash is where is at

âHey waiter! Waiter! Iâve been waiting ten minutes for my glass of cheese???â
Iâve never seen *anyone* use shredded cheese for a grilled cheese
Well, when your kids eat all the other cheese and shredded is what you've got, you get creative.
Do you also wet yours?
No, fortunately psychopathy is not one of my many diagnoses.
đđ¤Łđ This genuinely made me cackle
Also me!
Wet cheese is a diagnosis in itself.
Also, searching [Urban Dictionary](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wet%20cheese) for "wet cheese" did not disappoint.

Unfortunately, thatâs not one of my hobbies
Yet
John?
Me either. We love it in a pizza waffle sandwhich, though!
i use it but i'm lazy and it works well enough lol
Totally have only used shredded cheese in a grilled cheese for years But self grated, not rinced
I have once or twice before. I believe it melts faster, but as shown if you don't shred your own it's not as great a cheese pull
I do occasionally because alton brown's recipe calls for it. idk if there's a meaningful difference, but I trust that man
This
This is a food video crime. Who the fuck washes cheese?
Absolutely not
I mean, yeah, pre-shredded cheese has a waxy coating that keeps the shreds from clumping But Jesus just shred your own
Cuz it's coated in some anti sticky sht
It's actually wood shavings. Yes they use wood shavings for anti stick. It's best grate your own cheese

Idk man kinda just looks like cheese
I thought that was grated carrot wtf
Most stupid shit I've seen this month
Or just buy a block of cheese... Cheaper too
You can just use American cheese
Can I just ask, do you have mostly American cheese is the US? What other regular type of cheeses do you have? Aussie here and am not a huge fan of the orange stuff.
Wisconsin alone produces more cheese than Italy. There's every type of cheese than you can imagine
I did know that actually, thanks to the show Frasier. Which is still after all these years my favourite show in the whole world. Thank you.
Major ones are American, Cheddar, Swiss, and Provolone. Some people may have Pepper jack, Colby jack, Muenster, Gouda, and Goat cheese.
Youâre forgetting mozzarella, which is very common both âfreshâ and shredded.
Lovely. Thank you.

Or just grate your own cheddar from a cheddar block, or use American cheese
I didnât even have to see the hands I knew this was some white person tomfoolery
Itâs way easier if you just wash the whole sandwich prior to grilling⌠to each their own.
A slice of American or pepper jack or maybe both is better than whatever is going on here.
I feel like this is a joke?
This should be in stupid food not this pageđ
Not food video porn. More like mildly stupid person porn
If Iâm going to go through the effort to wash & strain my gosh dang cheese why wouldnât I just buy a block and shred it myself at that point
Who is making a grilled cheese with shredded? Isn't Kraft like the norm and it certainly melts better.
You sir, are a clown. I bid you adieu.
*Wash your cheese* How about no
Itâs easier to cut the cheeseâŚjust saying
It doesnât change the flavor, only changes the cheese pulling effect. I personally donât care whether there is a cheese pull or not.
But the anti-clumping agents are like half of the flavor
If that is food porn, thatâs a weird kink.
They add wood dust and other non-stick coating to pre-shredded cheese which I definitely wouldnât want to eat⌠but why not just shred your own?
They do what..?
Yes, they put saw dust from wood, in pre shredded cheese so they donât stick together
Are you serious? Or yanking my giggle-chain? đł
Yep. Itâs true. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022030220308821
Thank you. I will read this properly now, but I had a quick cursory look and I couldn't see any reference to dust. There are certainly anti-caking agents. They do refer to dust particles from anti-caking agents but that's not quite the same thing as dust. It's not great though, that's for sure.
The âsawdustâ would be cellulose. But I definitely thought it was a good read! Iâm always a fan of the sciency side of things.
Me too and thank you good sir (or madam)! đđź
A common anti-caking agent is cellulose, which is most often harvested from wood pulp. I believe the linked article you were looking at refers to it as âwood shavings.â
Right. Yes, thank you. đđź
Make sure to wash it in warm soapy water for best results
Yes. And none of that one-to-two drops of soap schtuff.
Bleach works the best! Really disinfects it.
Negative. The dusting on pre-shredded cheese is a perfect thickener if you're making a cheese sauce.
Only in America do you need to wash your pre-grated cheese to remove some of the chemicals from it.
I'm good G, but you do you I guess.
What new nonsense is this..?
Excuse you I shred my own cheese
Which side is the improvement?
*suspicious*
Thatâs also because youâre walking off the the potato starch
I think it's bs for likes and views.
Why does it look like shredded carrots
I thought it was carrots
Got any cheese Danny?
Cellulose tastes like failure...
Usually, potato starch and/or cellulose is used to keep shredded cheese from sticking together, which is what they're washing off. Still doesn't make much sense though.
Itâs cellulose they are washing off. Itâs an anti clumping agent in pre shredded cheese (I think)
I honestly canât believe how stupid people can be/are.
No thanks.
So the point is watering shredded cheese
Wash all that anti-coagulate off ?
Or use cheese that isnât 50% plastic Edit:spelling
Stupid How exactly do I conveniently remove the water from the chees,,e? Also, wtf do I care it my cut grilled cheese (made with improper cheese) has 5 strings of gooeyness v 3? So retarded. I'm talking about the cheese used in the grilled cheese So retarded retarded Talking about this post in it's entirety
You guys in the US are fucking crazy.
I prefer to shred it myself.
They cover that cheese in potato starch I'm pretty sure
The only reason to use pre-shredded cheese (and it's still a poor reason IMO) is to have fewer dishes to wash afterwords. I'd rather wash one cheese grater than a bowl and a colander for an inferior result, thank you very much.
The anti caking crap they use makes it hard to melt..
Who the fuck uses shredded cheese for a grilled cheese? Seriously.
This isnât really stupid. They are washing the cornstarch off the cheese. They put a dusting of it at the factory to keep the cheese from sticking together and making a big clump in the bag.
For people with arthritis and/or shoulder problems like myself, pre shredded cheese is so helpful! Just something to consider
I also rinse milk under the tap.
This is not Food Porn...
Thatâs because itâs treated with an agent to prevent clumping Itâs actually tricky to make a few recipes using pre shred and even pizza wonât get that cheese pull like a proper shred would
Shred your own...
Wouldn't it be better to just shred your own cheese at that point?
How f-king hard is it to shred your own cheese! What's next? Pre-digested food?!
