Someone needs to bring this show to the US.

I love anything with Stephen Fry.

People who by pre-grated cheese should just give up. Give away all your worldly possessions, get a job at Walmart and start eating all of your food out of a dumpster. You obviously don't care enough about life to do anything besides eat at Wendy's and watch American Idol.

If you read that statement and think, "gee, that's a little harsh, grating cheese is annoying" then try getting yourself a box-shaped cheese grater. The flat ones are for trimming knuckles only. If you still think it's annoying, then follow the above instructions. Or better yet, open a vein.

Better yet, if you're thinking about buying a cheese and the identical cheese is available right next to it in pre-grated bags...don't buy cheese at all. Just apply for government assistance and wait for your 5 pound block of government cheese. You're probably eligible for assistance based on the fact that buying real cheese is apparently too financially draining for you.

Does Kraft cheese slices count as grated?

Does Kraft cheese slices count as grated?


No, because Kraft Singles, although incredibly delicious, do not count as cheese. The only other exception is if you're having your cheese guy slice it for you.

Yes, I have a cheese guy.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't read video sift comments.

Well you just go on and have a nice, boring, tasteless, pre-grated little life there.

Who would have thought the guy with the Van Damme avatar was a cheese snob?

I love this place.

I hardly think bemoaning ready grated cheese makes you a cheese snob. I'd say it makes you normal. Buying grated cheese is definitely something you should wish to be above.

On a more video related note, Sean Lock is getting better and better on QI.

Grating cheese is a waste of my time. If you buy quality, you won't taste the difference anyway. Anyone who says otherwise is a communist.

"Dual Wield is God's gift to man.. everything is better when dual wielded. You should try dual wielding lawnmowers, it's bad-ass. And cheese graters, man, that cheese can't get grated fast enough."

Conformists! I'm a cheese Hipster... I buy processed slicey 'cheese', squish it into an iphone shape and grate it over organic free-trade gluten free pasta.

Your comments are all cheesy.

Gru-yeah!

Ah, to be young again and have time to dual-wield cheese graters.

everyone say CHEESE...

I love Cheeses...Holey Cheeses...big-time-styley!

Cheese is grater than the sum of its parts.

Oh please. Convenience is such a crime.

Tell you what next time you open the fridge, don't take anything out of it that you haven't grown, processed, packaged and transported yourself. In fact why do you even have a fridge. You never built it yourself and you certainly aren't powering it with electricity you are generating yourself.

Did you milk the cow? Did you provide the cow with green pastures to frolick in? Did you? No. So shut up then.

For the passed week, I have been making my own personal pizzas using flatbread, a homemade apricot infused bbq sauce mixed with a roasted garlic marinara, mozzarella, mushrooms, and goat cheese.

...I just told you that to brag, but there's a point too.

I found when I just used "chunks" of mozzarella, the water content in the cheese was so much so that I'd have little puddles of liquid after taking it out of the oven. Somehow, by shaving the cheese, that problem stopped. I wonder if shaving it dries it out a bit (because of more surface area exposed) as well.

Oh, I see…

Well, since some of you seem to have attended the Fred Rogers school of comedy, I’ll try to put it in a more friendly, less sarcastic light:

Although pre-grated cheese is widely popular with the discerning American public(I’m not sure about other countries), I think the general consensus among food bloggers and websites is that pre-grated cheese loses a lot of flavor. Not to mention the fact that buying it whole is more economical, and whole cheeses don’t contain the usual anti-caking ingredients or extra preservatives of most grated varieties.

http://cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com/2009/08/save-money-on-food-buy-it-whole-rather.html

Now, call me old fashioned, but I’m a person who likes to save money. I wouldn’t pay twice the price for gas just to have someone pump it for me. Nor would I pay a home nurse to wash me just because I find it difficult to bathe myself. Even though it can be hard, I still have full use of my arms and brain, so I find I can do pretty well on my own with a washrag or lather sponge.

That said, there are some occasions where I do consider buying pre-grated cheese. For instance, many brands offer the “Mexican Four Cheese Blend” variety. And I find myself thinking, “That’s great! I can’t possibly use four different, whole blocks of cheese on one Mex-a-roni casserole. And if I just overlook the fact that most of these cheeses like ‘Monterey Jack‘, ‘Pepper Jack‘, and ‘Cheddar’ aren’t actually served anywhere in Mexico, I can create quite the tasty impression of a suburban, chipotle abortion in no time. And to make it even easier, Taco Bell now sells mild sauce IN-THE-STORE! Just one aisle over!!!”

Also, I’m willing to accept the idea that some people just have a hard time grating cheese themselves. I started doing it when I was four, to help my mother out in the kitchen, so sometimes I overlook the fact that some people just might not know how. That’s why I’ve included the links below.

Now, these might not get you all the way there. So a few tips of my own are:

1. Try to grate the cheese in one direction only. Against the teeth. This will prevent the unnecessary action of sliding the cheese up the grater the wrong way.

2. Always wash the grater immediately. Unlike mayonnaise, Velveeta and French-fry grease, cheese will start to harden-up after a short period of time and become difficult to wash off.

Give it a shot. With a little hard work you’ll be grating cheese in no time flat. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be saving the extra money to go see the American version of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” at the IMAX.
