Thoughts on pre-grated mozzarella?

>> No.15623008

Fine if you aren't using a ton of it or have accidentally run out. A block of low-moisture mozzarella is ideal for things like pizza or italian dishes where you need smooth melting.

The biggest criticism I hear about pre-shredded cheese is that it's covered in some kind of starch to prevent it from sticking to itself in the packaging, and that said starch is what causes an unsatisfactory texture when melted. If that starch is the only issue with the cheese, can't you just wash it off before using it?

It's a lot like like a pre-shaven vagina.

preservative coating is added to all cheese, and since it's shredded, it creates a larger volume of the preservative. so if you have a good grater, you should buy the block instead if you want it to taste authentic as possible. i dunno if washing it off would get rid of all of it, but personally i think its fun to use a grater anyway.

mine has about four grating options and it all collects where i want it to collect at. pic related is similar to mine

I'm with this guy. Grating your block cheese is cool, plus it's cheaper per unit weight.

The only way in my country to get low moisture mozzarella, so I'm fine with it.

>> No.15623767

>>15623037
I guess but there's also the issue of oxidation. Cheese tastes way better freshly cut/grated.

Virtually every pizza joint uses it, so it's good enough for you.

One of those things that I don't understand stores can justify having on their shelves. Who buys it? What do they use it for?

Fucking annoying when majority of them use part skim rather than whole milk

Any of you shred cheese with a food processor? Im making a couple pizzas tonight and Im trying to decide how I want to shred it

>> No.15624404

>>15624359
I guess I would if I had to do a ton of cheese, I guess. I've got a food processor and the wheel for shredding but it takes like 2 minutes to grate a whole block of cheese, it'd be more work to wash the thing unless I'm doing a ton of cheese.

Im doing 2 8oz blocks. Trying to decide what is less work. I rarely use the food processor.
