IDK.

when I made the last time my slice was a little thinner and it did get a little melty before it browned.

I was at Costco again today and they had these sampled again. I checked what she was doing and she had cut more like chunks from the block and they flattened as she fried them. So it was like a 1/2 ounce rectangle and it browned quite nicely.

Hope it works better for you next time

Thanks Rach. I'll give it a try again. Mine were like 1 oz slices and they totally melted down so when I tried to get it out of the frying pan it was just a big blob!! *L* It tasted good but it didn't come out like you described it so I knew I did something wrong.

I think I made it too thick and had the pan too hot.. I had it almost burnt and not at all melty...

I'll have to try it again, lower heat & thinner slice.. I was sharing this with Geof so I didn't make it too thin.. I cut from the short end, so it was about an inch & half wide and just shy of about 1/2 inch in thickness.

I don't have a price chopper around.. Star, Shaws, Roche Bros., Stop & Shop, Market Basket, Hannafords & Whole Foods... occasionally, I'll drive over to Walpole for the Big Y and their buy one, get two free sales

That close? We might've driven right past you yesterday

We took back roads to get there, starting on 140, but used 146 to get back. Shoot!.. next time, for sure!

I love to put slices of cheddar on a pam-sprayed plate and nuke it for 1 min... it melts, bubbles ... and is "leathery" when you first take it out. Use a fork to pry it off the plate, and lay onto paper towels to cool... Crispy and crunchy and deeeee-licious!

another great idea. Kind of like cheese chips. lol

MiladyB · 05-04-2008, 09:21 PM

ok I tried this again with thicker pieces and though it browned this time it really didn't work. Maybe I got the wrong kind of cheese or maybe some of this cheese is higher fat than others because there really was alot of grease still. I put it on a paper towel for awhile to blot some of it off but nope, just didn't work for me. My pouchie is pretty funny about anything that is in the least bit greasy. I didn't dump but it made me gassy as all get out.

Oh well, was worth the try...I'll give the rest to DH. It's a great idea though for those whose pouches like it...just not mine.

i hvae used romano/ parmesean cheese for years. Ever since the no carb diets ever started,.

put shredded romano in a non stick skillet. thin cover the pan after it begins to melt, it sort of sticks to itself. Flip for a few seconds.
Place on paper towel and the disk get crisper. You can break into peices and toss into salad for carb free crutons.

If you make it a little thicker, you can fold it over and use like a tortilla for tacos or like a pita bread. add meat and lettucr fold over and yum!!

Mmmmmm, that sounds really good too. The next time I make tacos, I am going to try this

I saw this on the Food Network about a week ago. It looks soooo yummy!

Put a scilicone mat on a baking sheet. Grate a bunch of parm on it, pile it up. Then you can sprinkle some fresh or dried herbs over the top. Bake at 350 for maybe 10 minutes. Watch carefully, remove when it starts to bubble. It will be flat and very thin. Score it with a pizza cutter, then let it cool. Break it apart and enjoy!
