Unless you use one of those rotary things, which are lovely to use but a bugger to clean

We have one of those, it just goes straight in the dishwasher in 3 pieces. Easy peasy! :D

Blimey, what's in your dishwasher, acid? :rofl: It cleans all those tiny holes after the cheese has hardened a bit before the wash?

I hate the slabs of cheese, why on earth did they think that was a good idea? Near impossible to shred as well.

I am not picky for the most part, as long as it's mild, the strong cheeses don't taste good to me, so I generally buy an actual block of the local grocery store brand which is pretty decent in my view.

If I cross the border, I grab 1 or 2 tillamook blocks.

Costco in Washington state usually have 2.5 or 5 pound blocks.

Haven't found a typical normal brand in Canada that is similar.

I only buy it on the odd occasion for burgers but I can chomp through many slices given half the chance.

I was a child of the 50's & 60's so that may have something to do with it. Processed cheese and brown sauce sandwiches.:nod:

I do like a Laughing Cow cheese triangle though. Excellent on the toast part of beans on toast.

Processed cheese slices are killer bait for stocked rainbow trout - put the spring from a ballpoint pen on the shank of the hook to hold it on.
