Kenji Lopez-Alt has a cool video where he uses American cheese as the emulsifier to make some less-melty cheeses participate in a grilled cheese. I have been using it more for its emulsifying agents than anything lately: https://youtu.be/CD8UTr5mMVk?si=n5xOumvtBqromQtB
only because it’s easy to melt, not because it actually taste better than other cheese options such as cheddar, swiss, or pepper jack.

Oh, but it does actually taste better specifically on a burger.

American “cheese” can fuck right off, Gouda melts just as well and actually tastes like…you know…cheese.

No, it doesn’t melt nearly as well. It does once you add emulsifying salts to the Gouda.

You stock emulsifying salts?

I’m f you like eating melted plastic
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Are you scared of emulsifying agents, or what do you call “plastic”? There is no plastic in American cheese.

if you equate not liking something with being “scared”, that says much ore about you than it does me.
