/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Good on burgers.
Good for cold cuts.

Not so good for grilled cheese but cooks better

It's their mayonnaise.

It's the civic duty of every able-bodied American man to eat at least 3 servings of neon cheese a day.

Because it's just regular ass cheese with emulsifiers that make it melt like a dream you fucking faggot. It's also higher in nutrients.

>>16900990
Kraft single grilled cheese is the perfect grilled cheese

>>16900990
>Not so good for grilled cheese but cooks better
Absolutely nothing compares to american for grilled cheese, it is pristine

Melts good and it's salty/tangy.

Sure, it's not going on a cheese plate, but it's good at what it does.

>>16900990
>Not so good for grilled cheese
Stop existing

>>16900978
Because it tastes good and melts nicely

Not him but American turns into cheese sauce on a grilled cheese. Kinda gross

>>16901030
It's gooey but it's not a sauce

>>16901009
>>16901030
>"american"
do you unironically call synthetic cheese "american"?

>>16901030
no it doesnt?

>>16901044
it's just a blend of colby jack and cheddar with misc whey curds tossed it you dumbfuck

>>16901040
Eh I prefer a more natural texture and better tasting cheese for grilled cheese
The only thing I would use American cheese for is almost burnt dad burgers with Mayo and Chup on the 4th of July
And nothing else compares in that scenario

>>16901053
Using American for a grilled cheese is the texture equivalent of using brie on a grilled cheese
Gross

>>16900978
Why do American-obsessed non-Americans pretend as if its somehow uniquely American?

>>16901057
t. never had a classic grilled cheese

>>16901044
That's what it's called on the packaging here.

>>16901060
I just Google classic grilled cheese and every single recipe uses American cheese

>>16901069
because its delicious and has wonderful texture, yes

>>16901058
It is uniquely American. You can only find that in Europe in the refrigerated American section next to the Hidden Valley Original Cool American dressing. It's there so people who want to make authentic American dishes can do so.

>>16901044

>>16901071
It's not delicious though. Not to say it tastes bad.
It doesn't really have a high profile flavor compared to a more traditional cheese like swiss or cheddar
I personally use cheddar, provolone, and muenster to make a three cheese grilled cheese

>>16901005
>>16901009
>>16901012
Muenster is the ideal cheese for a grilled cheese.

>>16901080
Based. Melts almost as well as American with a much better flavor

>>16901079
Its not the best tasting cheese but its melty properties make it ideal for grilled cheese and hamburgers. Muenster is probably a close second.

>>16901069
Because without American, it's just a toasted cheese sandwich. Oily, waxy, way too stringy, poorly balanced flavor, no tongue coating creaminess. And if you like that, good for you, it's not a grilled cheese though. Grilled chese has three ingredients: American cheese, one slice, one slice only please, cheap white bread, and mayo for the outside browning.

Of the 5 varieties of cheese in the world;
>cheddar
>mozzarella
>cheese slices
>whiz
>canned parmesan
Which is your favorite?

>>16901084
That's fair. I think I just got fed only Kraft single grilled cheeses growing up and though I hated grilled cheese until I was making them myself with swiss and cheddar

>>16901087
American cheese is more oily and waxy than other varieties though
Also butter>mayo

>>16901087
You're missing the pickles and tomato soup, mister.

>>16900978
get your eyes checked

>>16901094
You can have a pickle on the side if you wish and yes indeed, tomato soup is a nice side item.

>>16901087
honest question, why do you come to this board? you're an absolute joke

>white bread
>american cheese
>tomato soup on the side
pure kino

I find it funny that OP was ass blasted about Americans using grilled cheese on "everything"
And the Americans are just arguing about grilled cheese because it's the only thing we use it for

>>16901102

>>16901078
cheese made with real cheese? incredible, i can't believe it

>>16901077
>I-it’s only sold as an American novelty to make American dishes!
Yes, I can tell by the quintessentially American salad-sandwich on the package.

>>16901146
Europeans don't know what American sandwiches actually look like. Take Gordon Ramsey for example, he has spent years in the US and still can't make a proper cheeseburger.

>>16900978
>Now melts !

>>16901146
>European
>Arabic on the top
My sides

>>16901174
I had a $25 casino burger of his a few years back with a side of $9 “just fries”.
I think they named the regular fries “just fries” to make insecure people think they sound like a poorfag for ordering them instead of the “better” fries.
It was sub-RedRobin-tier.

>>16901200
>chipotle ketchup, curry ketchup
Haven't they heard of just ketchup? Where is the honey mustard and ranch? Do they even know about fry sauce?
And Curry Ketchup? Did the Queen call upon her continental ancestry?

>>16901214
The same reason it's aioli instead of mayo. So midwit tourists think the luxury price is worth it.

>>16901146
>>16901058
Processed cheese is one of the very food products America can actually lay claim to, why are you trying to disown it?

>>16901214
No, no.. see; if you get the “better” fries, you get Gordon’s own “house ketchup”.

It also looks like the $15 hotdog has just regular peasant ketchup. It’s also the biggest meme on the menu; Sabrett is a literal $3.50 sidewalk-cart hotdog and those are the toppings you get for free at said carts.

>>16901277
Who puts ketchup on a hot dog!?

>>16901254
It’s as American as curry & kebab are British.
Embracing it as an adopted national staple =/= inventing it.

The general reaction from Chicagoans was a resounding "no".

>>16901378
Nothing wrong with Chup on a dog
If you put a gun to my head I would rather have Stard on my dog than Chup but both is even better

>>16901378
Good on them!
Someone needs to protect flyover country from the likes of East Coast ketchup connoisseurs.

>>16901347
Oh wow, Wikipedia. Who equates the “origin” with the US patent. Of course that’s why you didn’t even cap a whole sentence.
It’s cool though, I know you saw the numerous other results explaining where and by whom emulsifier-processed cheese was actually developed.

>>16901414
I was trying to give you guys a win, but have it your way, I guess you've invented literally nothing.

>>16901479
We invented nukes. Remember that the next time you're enjoying that carbonera, son.

>>16901077
What the fuck are you talking about retard? It’s literally in every CoOp and Nisa in the UK sitting beside the other cheese.
>inb4 UK isn’t Europe
It’s widely sold across Europe. I just bought a pack to make sandwiches in Lviv. If you’re going to argue about cheese at least do so about something that isn’t here like Velveeta.

>>16900990
>Good for cold cuts

>>16901832
Does that mean that if they include a country it BECOMES part of Europe? Since EU membership is what defines Europe.

>>16901889
Nah nigga I’m talking about fucking Turkey, you think they’re just going to include that little swath of stolen land in the EU and exclude the rest of the country? We can let Kazakhstan in while we’re at it.

>>16900978
We don't

>>16901998
Get out, immigrant. You will never be Americsn.

"But it's good at melting"
So are ice cubes, i still don't want chese sauce on my food. Frankly i want my melted cheese to have some stringiness.Not to mention a better, flavour profile.

sug it bitch >>>16901927

>>16901948
>We can let Kazakhstan in while we’re at it.
This is a good idea actually. Also, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. China wants to play Silk Road. Well, they should know that all roads belong to Rome. The Germans are making peace with the Russians so that's a good sign as well.

>>16900978
Because we can, and we don't even need a cheese loicense neither guvnuh

>>16900978
Because that cheese was made like 120 years ago if you had done your research.

>>16900978
1 molecule away from plastic

>>16900978
Do Americans enjoy the plastic taste or is it one of those "you learn to like it over the years" kind of thing?

>>16902852
It's traditional to take the plastic off. Kind of like that French Yogurt in a plastic tube. It's food safe plastic but you aren't meant to eat it.

>>16901111

>>16900978
Tastes good.

>>16901490

>>16901044
Real American cheese is a blend of cheddar and Colby jack, with added milk and emulsifying salts. Kraft singles aren't technically American cheese, they're made from vegetable oils and artificial flavorings. Pic related is an example of good quality American cheese, that works great on burgers and doesn't taste like burnt plastic.

>>16902985

>>16902985
That better be Land O' Lakes Deli American or you're in for the hand o' snakes.

>>16901004
where the fuck do you live that makes you think that "extra nutrients" should be your goal, subsaharan africa?

>>16902985
>they're made from vegetable oils and artificial flavorings
The worst part is how their lawyers figured out how to label vegetable oil “milk” just because it “technically” comes from a “cow”.

>>16901905

>>16903337
Oh, that's a different thing then. I guess that means Brexit doesn't fucking matter to geography, huh?

>>16903337
In common parlance, people use the term "europe" and "European" to mean countries in the Eurozone and/or EU. People may describe Brexit as "the UK leaving Europe". Thus "eurosceptic". Geological definitions are somewhat irrelevant to the political meaning.

>>16903359

Jesus Christ people, your reading comprehension is fucking awful. The guy you're quoting was very clearly saying that to illustrate the (incorrect) view of the post he was responding to.

>>16900990
The only time I really like it is on grilled cheese with Campbells tomato soup on the side. Maximum comfy nostalgia, perfect on a cold rainy day.

>>16904359
Got me dead to rights.

>>16901093
>butter>mayo
Not for a grilled cheese. The milk solids brown and overwhelm the sandwich with the taste of ghee. Ghee and brown butter are great, but not on a proper grilled cheese.

Oh sweet jesus, no.

Nothing else.

>>16900990
>good for cold cuts

Got that shit mixed up. If I ever see you ordering an Italian hoagie with shitty american cheese on it I'll burn your house down with your family inside it. Grilled cheese is about the only thing that it works well on. Even burgers you can substitute for something better.

>>16903359
>hurr hurr i found vegan cheese doesnt contain milk lol funnay xD

>>16900978
Kraft Deluxe is great for cold sandwiches, burgers AND grilled cheese unlike what >>16900990 said. Unless you mean the single-sliced individual shit. That stuff is garbage. It is only good for eating by itself in the same way you eat cheese whiz.

>>16900978
Taste good

I like the simple act of unfurling it from the wrapper & shoving it in my mouth. Reminds me of my sleep over nights at my cousin's house. My parents loved me. They bought Land O Lakes.

Feels fucking terrible, man.

>>16900990
it ain't good for shit, american cheese is the biggest fucking meme, even """gourmet""" tier american cheese, it's so shit, cheddar, pepper jack, even colbyjack is infinitely better than fucking american cheese. i wish death on the people who stand by this garbage.

t. amerifat

>>16901892
turkey + fried eggplant + american cheese makes an excellent sandwich. better to get the cheese sliced at a deli, though

>all these seething shart in marts
American cheese is fucking garbage, there are so many better options for grilled cheese, burgers, and sandwiches. It gets absolutely mogged by cheddar
>hurrrr it melts nice
And it becomes drippy slop while stuff like muenster and cheddar tastes leagues better and has a satisfying stretch, way better in a grilled cheese or burger than a shitty kraft single. jesus those cheeses don't even cost that much more, the fuck is wrong with you faggots?

So sorry, my ;earning disabled friend, but American MELTS far better than any of those, and works better than them on cheesburgers and in a few other contexts.
Sooooo SAD you can't embrace this particular cheese because of you prejudices.

>>16905992
just sum bantah about cheese, innit?

>>16907133
>not using cheddar, swiss, pepperjack, muenster, not even fucking mozzarella with italian seasoning instead
seriously, i'll never understand american cheese, it gets mogged by pretty much every other cheese in existence, any sandwich recipe that includes american cheese can be vastly improved with a simple change in cheese, it brings down everything it touches because it is literally the worst mass produced cheese, period.

>>16907158
It doesn't stretch anywhere near as much as the other cheeses you ginormous faggot, that's what matters, not how fast it can turn into liquid but how WELL it melts and american cheese melts like shit, it becomes borderline fucking cheese whiz. if that's what you want then more power to you but don't act like literally any other cheese can't give a satisfying STRETCH motherfucker. look at this shit, is this what you want you dumb faggot? it's disgusting.

this is how cheese should look in a grilled cheese you fag, american cheese is ass. end of story

Anyone can make a Real American grilled cheese look gloppy if they add way too much Real American cheese. A proper Real American grilled cheese has only one slice.

>>16907220
It doesn't matter what amount you put in, it still is what it is. Get mogged, fresh cheddar will always reign supreme.

>>16907222
I'd rather have creamy, cheesy goodness coating my palate than spend the day picking greasy cheese strings out of my beard.

>>16907234
Shave you disgusting fag.

People like american chees because they feel nostalgic about their no taste single moms thinking a kraft single was good anough. I remember liking kraft singles enough as a kid, but one day at my uncle served me and my sister up some grilled cheeses with muenster, cheddar, and mozzarella. It was one of the most glorious things i've ever eaten as a kid and it completely ruines kraft single grilled cheeses forever, there are so many amazing cheese combos you can make for grilled cheeses and I cannot fathom how people think kraft singles are better than that entire world of kino grilled cheeses. Whatever, their loss I guess.
