Was just about to say this. A decent amount of brands do use paper instead of plastic to separate individual slices, but I’ve only seen it with real cheese. Never with American cheese

Also before anyone says something, no, American cheese is not real cheese. In fact, it contains less than 50% cheese. It is officially considered a “pasteurized processed American cheese food”.

Also it’s only good for grilled cheese, bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, or melting onto leftover spaghetti. I will die on this hill.

Ingredients for Kraft American cheese slices:

CHEDDAR CHEESE (CULTURED MILK, SALT, ENZYMES), SKIM MILK, MILKFAT, MILK, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, WHEY, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SALT, LACTIC ACID, OLEORESIN PAPRIKA (COLOR), NATAMYCIN (A NATURAL MOLD INHIBITOR), ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE, ANNATTO (COLOR).

It’s not health food, but if it’s less than 50% cheese it’s because of the milk/milk products added into it to make it meltier. The only thing making up more than 2% of it that isn’t cheese or a milk product is sodium and calcium phosphate. Different cheeses for different jobs.

There are plenty of melting cheese that are 100% cheese.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm just not that bothered about adding milk and stuff made of milk into cheese. 🤷‍♂️

[–] superduperenigma 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

melting onto leftover spaghetti

This one caught me off guard, but I'll admit I'm intrigued.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s divine. Just fill a bowl with spaghet, tear one or two slices into strips and lay them over the top, nuke it for about a minute, mix it all up, do another 30 seconds, eat, cum repeatedly

[–] FrostyTrichs 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hold on what was that you mumbled at the end?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Ain’t no mumbling, nor did I stutter

Eat it, and CUM

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me too but not enough to try it.

Not sure if parchment paper would work for this particular form of fake cheese because its literally a liquid that they pour into the plastic. It solidifies in the fridge.

Also it’s only good for grilled cheese, bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, or melting onto leftover spaghetti. I will die on this hill.

But it's the best option for all of these and thus it will always be in my fridge. Except the spaghetti... That's weird but I'm curious.

And before y'all get all shitty, I'm not talking about your whatever melts. That's not a grilled cheese. A grilled cheese has exactly 3 ingredients: bread, butter, cheese. That's it. And that cheese is best when it's Kraft singles. Fight me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of "melts". Almost every "grilled cheese" sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called "grilledcheese" is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now. You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.

Nah, a good deli-style American will be better than Kraft Singles. Try Kraft Deli Deluxe (or any other brand).

It’s lower milk content so it’s more solid, not individually wrapped but is individually sliced. It’s what restaurants like Culver’s use.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ll have to try it sometime

Though unless the flavor profile is considerably different (and better), I’d still personally say that cheddar is the ultimate cheese

Especially sharp cheddar. I love eating slices of it with honey 😋

[–] TheRealKuni 2 points 1 year ago

Love me some sharp cheddar.

[–] over_clox 2 points 1 year ago

Wrong. A grilled cheese only has cheese...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

100% agree

On the spaghet topic, trust me, you will be glad you tried it. I’ve never done it with freshly made spaghetti, cause that’s amazing on its own, but if you’ve got leftovers just put it in a bowl, tear one or two slices into strips and put them on top, nuke it for a minute or so, mix it all up, eat, and cum

[–] Delphia 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hamburgers just arent the same without that nasty over processed American "cheese" only place I can find it around me in Australia is at Costco so I have to buy like 2.1Kg of it at a time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I get what you’re saying, but I still prefer cheddar or maybe Swiss depending on the toppings. Tastes more “real”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Kraft singles != American cheese. What you quoted even makes that distinction clear

[–] JusticeForPorygon 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I would go so far as to argue it's only good on grilled cheeses. Maybe the occasional American style cheeseburger. Other than that Cheddar is superior.

And honestly I prefer swiss for my burgers I just never have it on hand.

[–] TheRealKuni 1 points 1 year ago

Get a good deli-style American and it might change your mind. But yeah, the Kraft Singles are awful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You gotta try it on spaghet. It’s actually amazing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You have my sword for this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's also good on "classic" cheeseburgers, but if you're doing anything special with your burger, get a different cheese.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can sometimes enjoy it on a smash burger mellted into the cracks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Personally I prefer cheddar or swiss on real burgers. But if it’s a fast food burger then yeah, absolutely

[–] alehc 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm really intriged with the spaghetti part... Do you reckon it would still work on just cooked pasta? I don't have a microwave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely! I just never bother cause I like spaghetti as-is as well, and I always have leftovers. Definitely a must-have on reheated spaghetti for me, tho

[–] alehc 2 points 1 year ago

Well I might try it sometime then lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've seen paper used to separate thin cured pork slices

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's my favourite for burgers. It lasts way longer without going bad (I find real cheese slices will go moldy before I can use them all), tastes better to me, and is meltier. The meltiness is really nice!
