Do you buy pre shredded cheese or shred it yourself?

>> No.16732333

Depends on what I'm making.

This. It's the starchy additive that might be unwanted in shreds, or the loss of flavor. I think the sharper the cheese, the more I want to grate it myself. I have no issue grating my own fresh whole fat mozzarella either. But, I like the mexican blend that is 4 cheeses in one, where I don't need to buy them all separately.

I started shredding it myself its much cheaper to buy in bulk and has less additives.

It's complete soy to shred it yourself. Just buy it pre-shredded because it's better quality. You must buy it pre-shredded.

in america preshredded cheese comes only low fat and with tons of preservatives. i'd rather not

>> No.16732551

>>16732534
Nothing wrong with preservatives. What, you want to eat rotten food or something? Preservatives are considered generally safe and are made by people much, much more knowledgeable than you. You should NOT avoid a product just because it contains preservatives.

Only the really finely grated stuff will always have something added to prevent it sticking together.

Coarse shredded doesn't necessarily have cellulose.

Before I moved out of my mom's, I would always grate.

It doesn't take long and it's highly worth it. Especially if you're making a sauce.

At my house now, I keep fucking forgetting to get a grater. I'll think of it, go to the store, put a block of cheese in my cart, remember I need a grater, think to buy one there, see it's over $20 and decide that's too much for a grater. Put the cheese block back, and get the pre-shredded.

Even now, I need to wait until the next pay cycle to get one online, so I'll likely forget before then.

You can find finely grated parmesan without any non-caking agents. I think it depends more on the cheese, really hard and dry cheese is less likely to stick but something like grated mozzarella is going to need anti-caking agents or else it'll basically form a solid block again if it gets compressed.

It's usually worth it to grate it yourself though. You lose a bit of flavor if it's pre-grated and sitting around for a while.

Yes because it’s cheaper and tastes better

I love it when the cheese I just shredded melts into my delicious cheese sauce
