Does American cheese have egg?

American cheese does have sugars. "Sugar" is debatable.... but sugars are a part of ALL biological products. So to say that ANY product connected with things that were once alive- ie. cows milk coming from cows. - has no sugars is just ignorant. That being said,... the question isn't weather it has sugar,.. the question is weather the BODY recognizes it as having sugar. The answer to that is DEFINITELY yes. -> side note for perspective. -> People debate things like "High Fructose Corn Starch". (not referring to American Cheese here, but bear with me) Often, often High fructose.... is referenced as being just like sugar by people wanting to sell it. Well in some ways it is, accept one BIG one. Sugars trigger an enzyme to help your body recognize that it is full. High fructose corn starch does not. they discovered that some time back, and it nearly built the modern "Yuck" Junk foods that flood the market today. ie. don't get full=eat more=sell more. One of the big reasons for this effect is that the high fructose corn starch is TOO smooth. Essentially certain oils can be refined WAY beyond what nature knows how to deal with. High fructose ... is an obvious one. However many kinds of creams used in cooking bear similar characteristics, and one example is the emulsifiers used in American cheese. These emulsifiers combined with the naturally occurring sugars in American cheese create one of the nastiest sugar clones i have ever heard of. and while it does not classify as "Sugar" legally, it is only because sugars are not refined to be THAT bad for you.

When did Kraft discontinue wood boxes for cheese?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Type your answer here..

1928 Kraft's Velveeta Cheese was invented. It was packaged using the 1921 invention of a tinfoil lining that could house the cheese inside a wooden box. Its special cooking properties quickly caught on. When melted, it was as smooth as velvet (hence its name), and it would never curdle when heated. It replaced canned cheese. James L. Kraft founded J.L Kraft Bros. cheese factory in Stockton, Illinois in 1914. He introduced the company's first cheese in tins a year later. In 1917, Kraft cheese in tins was accompanying WWI soldiers to foreign fronts.

What is a good American cheese substitute for manchego cheese?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most of the sources I can find suggest using Cheddar if you can't find anything else. I've been trying to find an answer to this question myself, because I want to make Glamorgan sausages.

The distinctive characteristics of Caerphilly cheese (which I admit I've never had the chance to try) seem to be that (1) it's on the dry side and has a crumbly texture, and (2) it's slightly tangy. Monterey Jack cheese is tangy, but not crumbly. Mexican farmer's cheese is crumbly, but not (at least IMHO) especially tangy. I plan to try a mixture of sharp white Cheddar and finely chopped Monterey Jack, and hope it turns out all right. Hope this helps!

How long does it take for American cheese to go bad?

With the high oil content added with the preservatives, I would think a long time-- but this would make an interesting experiment. Someone could put out a slice of processed cheese and a slice of natural cheese and see what happens.

How long can American cheese slices go unrefrigerated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Molds are surprisingly fast growing organisms. Soft cheeses like American can grow mold almost upon contact with mold spores. It is important to keep American cheese (and other soft cheeses) wrapped and sealed tightly. If you find mold on American cheese, it is not the end of the world though. Food safety sites note that cutting off the mold, one inch around and below the mold should be sufficient to remove it. Always be careful when cutting away mold to not let the knife touch it to prevent cross contamination.

Does American cheese have plastic in it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cheese is made by curdling the milk. The homogeneous fluid changes into a mixture of solid particles and a pale yellow liquid. These are separated and the solid elements make up the curd. The residual fluid is called whey. The curd is pressed into molds, after which the cheese goes into a brine bath for several days. Subsequently it is stored and thus gradually matures.
