Good on grilled burgers and homemade cheese and eggers

Aren't these processed cheese slices different than American cheese?
The slices are okay melted on things but I'd prefer just regular cheddar in almost any case.

Obviously great on burgers and can be used to kickstart a cheese sauce if you're too lazy to make a roux and don't keep sodium citrate on hand.

Really only good for melting on a burger. But a burger is a damn fine thing so that's ok with me.

>> No.16327826

I actually like it on burgers but I'm not going to pretend it's cheese. Just because it's made from the same ingredients as cheese is doesn't change that the process used to make it is different.

Cheddar melts and tastes better, I don't see the argument for that application being excusable

Show me a single cheese that melts as well as Kraft Singles. Even one.

>>16327835
It doesn't, it melts slower and it leaves an oily coating atop the cheese.

meh it's just a medium cheddar mixed with a bunch of other shit

It's not a replacement for real cheese, but it has it's uses. Obviously only in unhealthy fast food, but sometimes that's what you're craving.

>> No.16329155

>>16329118
Haven't had colby, Mozza and Cheddar get greasy and don't melt as readily. You are fully and completely delusional and out of touch with reality. Those boomer products aren't even close.

I would have accepted Super A cheese slices and Nacho cheese. I've been meaning to make DIY kraft singles with high quality cheese and sodium citrate and some molds.

They’re mostly American cheese. It’s American cheese plus milk to make it softer

Your cheese (if it's real, not kraft) needs to be room temp to melt best.

Also kraft is the epitome of boomer food.

Itafag here, a question for you all: what's tastes like?
Is anything near pic related? Our 'sottilette' it's also kraft but it's white.
Here we use them for child's toast (ham/wrustel and sottilette), for emergency filling for a omelette when real cheese isn't available, for quattro formaggi (a pasta like mac and cheese, but we use four cheeses, the only important ingredient here is Gorgonzola (blue cheese). We also use it mixed together with other cheeses to make a quick and cheep fondue.

it's an actual old concept and that's why its called american cheese. there's nothing plastic about it.

i enjoy it on sandwiches and burgers only. back when i was poor and ghetto, i'd sometimes put it in my pastas too.

So that's why it worked so well, I was drunk and cooking pasta when I was hungry, and I just figured some extra cheese would make it taste good. Turns out pasta cooked with american cheese, butter and garlic tastes great and only takes a few minutes, so I always keep some on hand now

it melts nicely and adds a lot of flavor for not many calories.
