Re: Made Chicken Parm for Dinner - Trip Report with Pics!!!
All - Dids note about pre-shredded cheese is good; i.e., don't use it. Pre-shredded cheese has a chemical/preservative added to it to prevent the cheese from sticking together/lumping. The additive also prevents the cheese from melting completely. Maybe its just me, but I also find that pre-shredded cheese often tastes funky, too.
Its perfectly easy to buy a 1 lb. block of whole mozzarella, and to shred it yourself using a collander. Then, just put it into a couple of bags and freeze for future servings. Even better, see if your local supermarket/deli sells fresh mozzarella, and use that. |

Sam, How does this work? [/ QUOTE ] It doesn't work, because I was wrong! I was referring to , which is actually called...wait for it...a GRATER. This is a colander, and its only obvious use is for draining. |

Damn, I thought maybe this was a new and less painstaking method for shredding cheese. I inevitably get all frustrated and knick myself on my grater. But fresh shredded cheese really is INFINITELY better than the prepackaged stuff, so it's worth the pain and suffering.

Recently, every day of my life I see things and think "Oooh wedding registry item!" Does that mean I'm getting old? Or just a typical girl? :-/

Sam,
Could be, but I have yet to encounter a cheese that this baby couldn't conquer (but I only eat 3-4 different types). |
