I used to swear by pre-shredded cheese for everything
Honestly, I thought buying blocks of cheese was just a waste of time. I mean, why spend 5 minutes grating when the bag is right there? Then I tried melting some pre-shredded cheddar on a burger last week and it turned into this greasy, clumpy mess instead of getting smooth. Now I grate my own mozzarella for pizza and the difference is night and day. Has anyone else noticed this or do you still grab the bagged stuff?

...and my buddy Mike still won't admit I was right. He came over for taco night and I told him to bring the cheese, swore up and down the pre-shredded Mexican blend would be fine. Watching his nachos turn into a sad, oily blanket while mine stayed stretchy and smooth was genuinely painful. He sat there picking clumps off his chips and mumbling about how the oven temp must have been off. Next time I saw him he had a box grater and three blocks of different cheeses in his cart at the store. It's like a little victory every time someone finally makes the switch.

Got tired of my pre-shredded “mozzarella” turning into a greasy puddle on pizza night. Grabbed a block of low-moisture whole milk mozz and grated it myself. Night and day difference man, actually stretches and bubbles right on top. Never going back to that sawdust coated crap.
