"Shred cheese" is one of the foods that is difficult to preserve. If it is stored in a refrigerator, it will become moldy in a blink of an eye, and if it is stored in a freezer, it will harden into a dumpling and it will be difficult to shake it out. There are many scenes where you topping little by little rather than using a lot at once, but this is a problem.
Such shredded cheese is much easier to use and freezes with just a little care when freezing. There are two tips.
The first point is to
stretch the contents of the bag as flat as possible and put it in the freezer. This will prevent the shret cheese from solidifying like dumplings. If the bag is small, it is best to transfer it to a freezer bag.
Make the contents as flat and uniform as possible
Place it flat in the freezer while maintaining its shape
The second point is
to put it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours, then take it out and knead it. If you loosen it when the surface starts to freeze, the core will be frozen while it is separated.
Take it out when it's about to freeze
Frozen shredded cheese based on the above two points is more fluffy than when stored in a refrigerator. It's easy to draw out as much as you need!
Once frozen, you can store it in a bag. However, when using it, take it out of the freezer and put it back in. If the cheese surface melts, it will stick when it freezes again.
Once hardened, you can tie it in a bag
With this freezing method, you can use up the desired amount of cheese to the end without mold. If you are losing out on preserving shredded cheese, please try it next time.
