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.
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.
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.
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
must be a uniquely American phenomenon because I’ve never met an individually wrapped slice of cheese that doesn’t simply blacken under a broiler like you forgot to remove the wrapper or something.
If they didn’t they would all melt together cause that stuff isn’t real cheese.
when the contents have as much plastic as the packaging
They could use parchment paper I think.

There are plenty of melting cheese that are 100% cheese.
I’m just not that bothered about adding milk and stuff made of milk into cheese. 🤷♂️
Kraft singles != American cheese. What you quoted even makes that distinction clear
It’s also good on “classic” cheeseburgers, but if you’re doing anything special with your burger, get a different cheese.
Personally I prefer cheddar or swiss on real burgers. But if it’s a fast food burger then yeah, absolutely

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.

Personally, I like cheese but I always found plastic sliced cheese just fucking gross. Melted cheese in plastic blech
We just have them separated by baking paper here.
which is super ironic because this trash doesn’t melt
American cheese is specifically designed to melt well, I don’t know what you’re talking about

Why are you putting American cheese under a broiler? It’s supposed to melt, not bubble up and brown
