It isn't significantly more expensive, though. He should grate the cheese if it matters so much to him.

No.

If you have a 4-sided box grater, you can also use it to grate ginger which it great for stir-frys. You can also grate carrots, broccoli stems, and all other kinds of veggies for salads. You can grate cucumber for tzatziki. It's a very useful kitchen tool.

>>13873132
Pre-grated cheese is barely useful. Tell the wife about the anti-caking agents they put on pre-grated cheese. A regular block of cheese has way more possible uses than the bagged stuff. Just buy the block. It has more uses, it's higher quality, and it's cheaper.

>> No.13873163

Fuck washing a grater every time you want cheese. Those things are annoying to clean. The real solution is to not be so poor you can't afford an extra 50 cents for the convenience of grated cheese. I don't even know how much cheese costs that's how inconsequential this is.

It turns it into sauce quicker than cutting.

Not really you have to process the tomatoes before you can put it in the blender and you need a source of electicity.

You're actually wrong homie. And so is he.
A knife performs 1 (one) task. Cutting. Everything you said is just cutting (using a sharpened metal edge to lacerate or separate) with different intents and to different degrees of fineness. But you can cut a huge range of things and do it a shitload of ways.

But he's an idiot because he thinks a unitasker is something with one use, a "use" is what it does and what it can do it to. An egg cracker can only crack, and only eggs. A plastic watermelon saw (unfortunately real) can only saw, and only on melons since it's fucking plastic. A grater can only grate to one or more degrees of fineness depending on how many sides it has, but it can grate yam, carrot, potato, cheese etc. Which makes it a multitasker.

I wouldn't buy pregrated mozzarella cheese if I was making pizza, lasagna, or anything with a melted top like that. The powdery film on pre-shreds affects meltability.
Parm and funky sharp cheeses are less fresh when preshredded. A hunk of real parm, asiago, romano...these are best grated yourself when using in small quantities where flavor matters.
When I make baked mac n cheese, grating it myself. When I make southern cheese crackers, grate the cheese in my food processor grating disc, right down the chute, so fast.

Do I eschew all grated cheese? No. I buy the taco 4 cheese, and italian 4 cheese blends really often. They're 4 cheeses in one, and enhance a lot of dishes, and convenient to use 1/4 of the bag while making a quesadilla or sprinkling over a sub or garlic bread before your broil it, or something short order like that.

Pre-grinding makes absolutely no difference to flavor, the reason it's not a good default choice is that it molds quicky and you can't always see the mold, and the mold isn't the "good" kind of mold.

Store in a container, not a bag.

As for the OP, preshredded is fine for lazy shit like topping off a taco or something, but if you're using it in a dish that shit just won't melt right. The extra step gives a better product, price be damned either way.

I've been with my wife for 10 years now. We met in high school, and I got her pregnant. She is and always has been a lazy person and a shit cook. I wouldn't even mind eating shit food if she at least made it on time. But she rarely did.

We'd get into screaming arguments constantly about how lazy and worthless she was. I felt like an asshole for it, but goddamn she was a real piece of work. The only reason I dealt with all this was for the kids, and also because the sex is great.

But one night, I got fed up. Not only did she get drunk, neglect the kids, and made me top Ramen for dinner, but she decided to give me attitude too. She was being real fucking bitchy. So I told my grandparents to keep an eye on the kids and told my wife we were going to go out and have dinner together. I drove maybe 3 blocks to a quiet area (we live in Oregon, it's not hard to find a quiet field) and I got out of the car, went around like I was going to open her door for her and let her out, and I just beat the shit out of her while she was still seatbelted. After a few punches, I asked her if she wanted to go back to her parents. She started screaming and yelling and said yes, so I beat the shit out of her again. Then I asked her what she wanted to do. She finally got smart and said she wanted to go home. So I took her home and dared her to start trouble. I even handed her my cellphone and dialed her mom's number on the drive home. I made her talk to her mom, while daring her to fucking say something.

Before that incident, I had never laid a hand on her. But I had always threatened it. I told her "one of these days, if you don't straighten up, I'm going to lay hands on you."

All my meals have been on time, and she just recently tried to make a meatloaf. It was mediocre, but I was just thrilled that she tried.

Do with this information what you will.
