People who buy pre-grated cheese

[Dirtyhip]

Those people are almost as lazy as people who eat stuff from a box. How hard is it to grate cheese? Cheese block in one hand and grater in the other. Not to mention the grated stuff is all full of anti caking compounds. Gross.

Discus.

I like to eat my pre-grated cheese from a box.  But it takes so much energy to go to the store and buy a box of grated cheese.

[JerrySTL ★]

I think that this is a grate post.

You haven't lived until you slip and run your hand down a cheese grater. Red is not a good cheese color 

[Kzoo]

I have 3 varieties of pre-grated cheese in the fridge at home.

If they are the same price, and they usually are at my LGS, I will buy the grated if I need grated.

If I want cheese to eat with apples or whatever, I buy block cheese.

AND the pre-grated cheese comes in those zip-lock kind of bags that you can throw away after you're done putting the cheese on some food that came out of a box.

In fairness, remember that I once ended up in the emergency room from trying to cut an apple.

Were you using a cheese grater?

Yeah.  ?

I think the evidence is in and shredded cheese makes sense, saves time, and is IDENTICAL in ingredients* to the block stuff.

Except that powdery parmesan cheese that comes in green containers.

* clearly the cellulose powder is what you don't like.

versus the block:

For people who are accident prone, try a cut glove.  I wear mine often.  One of my favorite tools is a mandoline

Or take your lunch to work in. If your lunch is shredded cheese.

Corn starch and potato starch is also used in some of the bags as anti-caking stuff

Strong move. That way you can throw out both bags, but only one at home, the other after lunch at the office.

[KrAzY]

Actually I'm betting that most people who buy pre grated cheese do not have graters at home.

That's what I do.  If you're not going to recycle, it's best to not recycle in multiple locations.

Are you trying to put some of my friends out of work? There's 2 factory's up the road that is 90% of there business is package grated cheese.

What do you suggest for people with arthritic hands?

I would suggest that they find friends that can help them open the pre-grated bags of cheese.

I like the OJ Simpson brand of cut gloves.  They run a bit small though.

Maybe.  Although, you could buy one for the cost savings of getting a block of cheese.  

Camping?  Like using it for camp dinner and want things easy, and you don't have the enormous luxury of a hit water tank and running water.  

I am just stirring today.  Just a diversion as we wait for an update from RG

Wow, rampant consurmerism run amok!  Cut gloves?  Mandolins?  Think about your carbon foot print here and then use a dang knife and cut some cheese.

Mandoline was a gift from a chef. It was used. He gave me the cut glove too. Nice gift

Yes you can buy one, but then you have to store it and clean it..... just seems like more time spent in the kitchen. 

Personally I like using a machete. It's a knife, pancake flipper, butter knife, held right it can help strain water from a pan or pot when tipped, and even can be used for home defense.

So.... what you are saying is that for me to eliminate my addiction to pre-grated cheese I first have to find friends that will give me expensive gifts that will facilitate my switch from the pre-grated crap to block cheese?

@jsharr is my friend.  I expect he will be sending me my expensive mandoline in tomorrow's post.

I buy pre grated cheese sometimes. It's sold in bags right next to the deli where it is grated.   Thank you.  I buy things in a box sometimes too.  Thank you again.

Fortunately I can't afford a Peloton or you'd probably flash my visage across the internet.

Sorry, gave my last Mandoline and cut glove to some hippy chic on a  mountain bike.  She told me how nice they were and how much she liked them as the pounded one balled fist into her other open hand.

As a consolation prize, I will give you this nice owl shaped cheese and nut ball

Mandoline is not a grater. It’s a slicer...of fingers

you can make really nice cross cut fries

Yes they do.  However I had thought we had shown them not to be single use in many cases.

You sir are too kind.  No, really you are.

Womaxx once cut the tip of a finger off on a mandoline.  With her neuropathy she lacks feeling in her fingers and slips occasionally.  For this reason she prefers to purchase pre grated cheeses as well.  She thanks you too DH.

Right now I am enjoying my spaghetti with pre-grated Parmesan.  But I am not a barbarian, it is from a refrigerated plastic tub, not a green cardboard cylinder.
