I just looked it up. Sargento uses those ingredients. But the cheese I have in my fridge is just plain cheese. Nothing added. And yes, it does clump up and stick together. I do not usually buy the Sargento shredded. Too expensive. |

I tried that a few times - it just made for a big mess to clean - the cheese stuck all over the place and wasn't the 'shred' I can get from my Mouli or plane graters. I tend to go non-electric when I can. Must come from camping, boating days and a father who watched the elec. bill closely. I no longer have a Mouli. My first one was great but eventually it wore out. The subsequent ones all had plastic parts that broke. I love the plane graters. I think they work much better than the old box. |

My shredded "Mexican Style" cheese contains monterey jack, cheddar, queso and asadero cheeses. Along with potato starch and powdered cellulose to prevent caking, natamycin (a natural mold inhibitor). The shredded mozzarella I have contains the same added ingredients. The fact is, if you want pure shredded cheese you have to buy a block of it and use a cheese grater. I use pre-shredded cheese all the time for tacos. Jill |

I also watch my electric bill closely :) I use my food processor when I need to slice a lot of veggies to uniform size quickly. e.g. squash casserole. Otherwise, it just sits in the pantry, mostly unused. It certainly doesn't hold a predominant spot on my kitchen counter. I've never used it to grate cheese. But depending on the cheese, I can see how it might be difficult to clean the bowl and the blades. It would have to be a very hard cheese to not make a mess. I don't own a pressure cooker and don't plan to. Sorry, Om (wherever you are), I don't need my food to cook that fast. Jill |

If you made a point of using the food processor for everything it was capable of doing, every day, as an experiment, how much would it add to your electric bill in a month? I'm guessing probably a dime. |

Pressure cooked chicken is fabulous. Or it can be about softening. Pressure cooked legumes are tender. Thinking about these two statements I should probably try pressure cooking a stewing chicken. Hmmm. |

I can't remember the last time I bought shredded cheese, I always shred/cube my own. I rarely need much anyway, typically a few ounces added to a frozen pizza. On the rare occasion I need a lot of shredded cheese I send a pound or two through my meat grinder using a large hole plate, works perfectly. But for melting like into a cheese sauce I just dice cheese, only takes two minutes to dice a pound and no mess. |

I have 3 sizes. > I've bought extra pots and pans, utensils, pyrex bowls, etc. I never see crock pots at thrift stores here and I've gone in looking for them specifically. They're pretty sparse on Craig's List too. I just searched and the *one* I saw where there's any chance it's still available is $20 for a crockpot that sells for under $30 brand new. Why would I get it from Craig's List when I can go to the store, buy it brand new for significantly less than $10 more and have recourse if there's a problem with it? -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |
