Does Fake Cheese Actually Melt?

Processed cheese product can be made at home with 3 ingredients, all of which are already in your pantry or fridge. Just combine cheese, milk, and sodium citrate (made by combining lime juice and baking soda) and melt it together and then let it cool and solidy. The stuff in the grocery store also has added preservatives just like 90% of everything you buy in the store. This stuff is nothing to be afraid of. It legally cant be called cheese because it contains ingredients other than cheese. You can make it exactly as i described with just the 3 ingredients and the FDA would still prohibit you from selling it as cheese. Spread the word, stop lying to your fans. Stop fearmongering.

[@kitkatpitterpat4498]

I get her point, but using how they bend to demonstrate it is a false equivalence. She held the American cheese from the top so that it wouldn’t bend anyway, due to gravity pulling it straight. And she held the Colby Jack by the side, almost at an angle, so that it was going to bend regardless of the flame. In reality, American cheese melts just fine. It’s the best cheese for burgers and grilled cheese. I use it all the time for those two dishes. I use non processed cheese for everything else. Nothings better than a good sharp cheddar. But if you’re going to compare products, you have to use the same technique on both.

I've known for years that all cheese products were not real so I never bought any. One day my son came into town for a visit. He wanted a grilled cheese sandwich and wouldn't eat anything else when I told him that I didn't have any cheese. He rode to the closet store, Walmart, and picked some up. As he was making his sandwich he mentioned that the cheese wasn't melting. I had to see this for myself. Sore enough, it stayed just as firm as ever. He hadn't bothered to read the package because it looked exactly like one that he was used to eating since childhood. When he realized that it was a VERY different product, and read the label, we couldn't believe that the FDA would approve such garbage. Turns out, that's nothing new. We both resolved to pay more attention and not pick up a product that looks familiar. We must always read the package. Pam, once again you are absolutely right. Thanks again 😊❤❤❤

Check the youtube video on how it's made, memory says it's 50% milk fat and loads of emulsifiers and stabilisers. This "Plastic cheese" was designed to melt "perfectly" on burgers (for fast food I believe). The goal was for it to 'melt' to divert the burger without splitting it falling off. So this food product was creating to look pretty and be used to quickly, not too be be healthy or tasty.... But to look like cheese while covering a burger.

[@easygoing6397]

And not wholesome either.

[@xyex]

There are 3 types of cheese defined by the US FDA. 1. Cheese. This is your traditional cheddar, mozzarella, colby, etc. 2. Processed cheese. This is cheese that is made with at least 51% traditional cheese, with other things mixed in. Technically speaking, pepper jack cheese, even if the only thing added to the Monterrey jack is jalapenos, is a processed cheese because of the jalapenos mixed into it. Because it's not 100% traditional cheese. You can literally make this cheese in your own home with a block of cheddar, some milk, lemon juice, and baking soda. 3. Imitation/processed cheese food/product. This is cheese that is less than 51% traditional cheese. It is, otherwise, the same as type 2. It just has less cheese in the mix. You can also make this at home with just two ingredients. Milk and cheese. You melt equal parts cheese into milk to make a cheese sauce and, because it's 50/50, it's imitation/processed cheese food/product, and not cheese.

Pam - thank you so much for branching out and educating people about our food and the fact so much of it is unhealthy and at times dangerous. It’s crazy that the US allows chemicals and additives in our foods that other countries BAN. Let’s hope RFK,Jr in whatever his capacity, will be able to clean up our food industry that has led to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and other diseases. Thank YOU

Not my Kraft 😩😩😩😩😩Lordy Mrs Pam you just broke my heart but I appreciate you ❤❤guess I’m switching my cheese now 🥹

[@Elizan723]

American cheese is made with cheddar and sodium citrate. The nitrate causes it to melt but remain smooth. It's basically an emulsifier that prevents the cheese from breaking. It doesn't make it bad or unhealthy or inorganic, I'm sure.

[@JH-me1gc]

@@Elizan723 most people don’t know this. I made some American cheese once. It was delicious.

[@DeepDownInTheOcean]

Most people also don’t know that it’s bigger companies actually making the cheese unhealthy. Without those preservatives companies add, the cheese would be fine.

[@5cottjohnson]

​@@DeepDownInTheOceanso what preservatives do they add to make it unhealthy?

[@DeepDownInTheOcean]

@@5cottjohnson Companies add preservatives like sodium phosphate, sorbic acid, and emulsifiers to American cheese, which can contribute to high sodium levels and potential health risks when consumed in excess. These aren't that unhealthy, but what makes them unhealthy is the amount of cheese people eat.

[@antant6707]

Please do more stuff like this!!!

[@ddsmitty1]

all "cheese food" means is that it just has higher milk content. it's basically a legal term. aside from a particular salt, it has the same ingredients, just in different amounts. anyone who has ever had a burger or grilled cheese sandwich knows it melts just fine. please don't try to make it sound like it's artificial in some way.

[@ShawnteAmoure]

It is legally called CHEESE FOOD becaus it is NOT cheese and cant LEGALLY be called CHEESE! It is artificial and like she said IS NOT made equal. Most importantly it is NOT nutritionally equal. There is a distinct difference in taste. And as shown it doesn't melt. There is absolutely nothing wrong with knowing and acknowledging the difference. No one is telling you that you can't or shouldn't eat it. That's totally up to you. But there is definitely a difference in quality.

[@ShawnteAmoure]

Also, the higher milk content is a lie. The difference is cheese products and cheese foods have ingredients OTHER THAN milk like vegetable oils and emulsifying agents that are not in real cheese. So CHEESE would actually have the higher milk content because it's just milk, a little salt and rennet.

I absolutely love Tillamook ice cream cheese you name it!!! Tillamook is a town in Oregon that produces a lot of wonderful food❤️❤️❤️

[@AuLily1]

Tillamook stole the Bandon Cheese recipe in a hostile take-over of the cheese factory in Bandon OR. They promised the workers they'd still have jobs. Instead they razed the factory to the bare ground and claimed the Bandon Cheese as their own. I won't buy anything from Tillamook unless it's at a deep cut discount, reducing their profit margin. Bandon has since built a new cheese facility called Face Rock. It's wonderful. My favorite is the Vampire Slayer Cheddar that's infused with garlic.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

You're correct. I've never had a better ice cream than Tillamook. Not even local boutique ice cream that I've ever had compared to Tillamook.

[@naomiemoore5725]

Nothing processed in my house. Except junk food snacks for teenagers. I do offer healthy items as well.

[@flamingfoxx]

Everything you eat is processed. Even ingredients; flour, milk, yogurt, eggs, cheese, tofu, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, all processed. Even raw ingredients are processed, corn, apples, oranges, it's all processed. Unless you're walking outside, picking an apple, and eating it, it has been processed. I'm so sick of people getting high and mighty about not only misinformation (American cheese is literally designed to melt, that is its purpose) but things they know absolutely nothing about. It's a shame to see what initially seemed like a sweet channel devolve into conspiracy theories and misinformation

[@naomiemoore5725]

@@flamingfoxx Agree to a point. Everything is full of glyphosate, among other things. I have fruit trees. I do not treat them. Some years I win, some not. This year will get some decent crops. A friend has apricot and peach trees. We share. We eat as clean as we possibly can and I cook everyday from scratch. No longer have enough time and energy to pull up stakes and find some land and start over. So again, eat as clean as possible with what I have to work with. I should have been a farmer. Better than eating junk food and dying from being obese.
