Cheesy! I love this idea. And yeah, pre-shredded cheese is also coated in starch and other additives that keep the strands from sticking together in the bag...

Great video. Most of what I see for homemade American cheese is using sodium citrate. I love this one

[shawnmitcham]

Preshredded cheese has noncaking ingredients in it which a lot of time is a type of wood pulp. That's why they don't melt as well as home shreds as well. You can accomplish this short term at home by tossing in a little dusting of cornstarch.

Very nice Greg. The cheese and the burger looked fantastic. Have a great holiday my friend.

[jackbeats]

This made up for no video last week. Awesome job!

In packaged shredded cheese, cellulose is used to coat the pieces of cheese, blocking out the moisture that causes them to clump. But that is just the beginning; cellulose is also used to replace fat and give a creamier feel to foods like low-fat ice cream, to thicken and stabilize, and to boost fiber content.

[mikecook]

[mikeflorence]

Hi Greg, it's Mike Florence. Oh WOW, this recipe is going on our home menu now. I like the idea of a little Parmesan and Blue Cheese. Yet again, so much for the upload. See Ya, Mike.

Sodium citrate doesn't make it grainy in my experience. I've done it dozens of times. It's almost fool proof and works quite well with reproducible results.

Sup Greg, love the easy recipe, I've made old one few times, does vac seal well, have to check difference, think I heard the bagged shredded cheese is mixed with a cornstarch and a food science powder or something so doesn't clump, and makes bad texture in cheese sauces.. doesn't melt as well, I can have fun making my own lol. I'm failing fast, and sick of paying for Velveeta bro lol. My first batch gonna be jack and young asiago 👍, have it, be great on burger, about only thing can eat without pureeing, has to be thick, non packed, non toasted bun, no lettuce, bacon, pickles lol. The burger you made looks awesome, I don't think was too much cheese lol. Enjoy summer there, get in jeep and have fun while can brother, good to see another video 👊, tyvm tc 🍔

[ethernalspirit]

I cannot wait to try that! Going to experiment with cheeses for sure!

[joshmartin]

Sweet, I've been waiting for this! I see a grilled cheese in my future.

[chevy]

Pre shredded cheese is coated with either potato starch, or celluse powder.

[gunlovingliberal]

Sodium citrate is used to inhibit the cheese from hardening at room temperature. If you are making queso from scratch you would add that ingredient. For a nice cheese to put on a burger it is not needed.

[BBQPITDOG]

That was pretty easy Greg! I like your idea of playing around with different of cheese blends.

[EliteBBQSmokers]

That is very cook and great information. Never thought about making my own cheese.
Thank you
