Hello /ck/. I have made a terrible mistake and I need your advice.

Earlier today I was tricked into buying 4.3kg (~9lbs) of parmesan cheese. I bought it for 126$ and I regret everything now. I wasn't drunk nor was I high.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS UNGODLY AMOUNT OF CHEESE!!!???

Dont freeze it, it lasts a long time refrigerated. Just start making pasta with it, grate it and mix it with pasta water and you'll make the best alfredo sauce you've ever had

double-wrap it in cling film and put it in a zipper back at the back of your refrigerator
It doesn't need to be frozen it will keep refrigerated if sealed well just fine

>> No.20266014

You can freeze parmesan. Also, parmesan (in smaller quantities) is always useful, give some to your friends. You grate it over pasta and into salad dressings, over green vegetables, or into mashed potatoes. It's a common ingredient in white sauces. The rinds go in stocks. You can bake it in bread. You can mix it into breadcrumbs to coat meat or fish, or into stuffing.

>> No.20266027

>>20266014
When baking in bread, do you add the parmesan before or after baking in the oven?

>> No.20266043

>>20266027
Before, just grate it right into the flour.

Never underestimate how adverse actual poor people, not someone who's just broke or was unlucky, actual generationally poor people are to anything unfamiliar. Something piquant as real parmesean would be disgusting to most of them lol

It keeps for a long time and you can put that shit on everything. Honestly having a hard time thinking of anything savory and dinnery that wouldn't survive the addition of parm. Basically any kind of pasta, soup, or stew can take it. You could probably use some in a steak marinade without problems. Even Asian or Indian type dishes, although it's by no means conventional, would mostly be alright with some parm in there.

someone hasnt been keeping up with their shakespearian poetry

Beware the cheese merchant's sly disguise,
His promises wrapped in a sweetened guise.
His prices climb beyond the azure sky,
Yet his wares oft leave tongues with a bitter sigh.

With every wedge, a tale he deftly spins,
Yet beneath the surface, deceit begins.
So guard your coin, be wary as you tread,
Lest his false words leave your pockets bled.

parmesan will last for literal YEARS in the fridge. I just finished off a wedge I bought 4 years ago. Never molded, flavor definitely declined a little after the second year but it was still OK.
