So I've managed to end up with two Costco-sized containers of Kraft grated parmesan. I'll reach for real parmesan 95% of the time, with Kraft being an occasional nostalgia pick, but these will go bad long before I can get through them at my normal consumption. The containers are both opened, so can't donate and I'm loathe to waste food, so been trying to think of ways to use it all up.

These sad, dense, salt pucks (with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning) were an attempt to make parmesan crisps. Thinking of trying again with smaller spoonfuls spread thinner, but don't know if the cellulose additive makes the endeavor hopeless.

I make stuff like pizza often enough where I want the cheese to be able to melt better. The starch/cellulose probably also effects how it melts into a sauce.

I actually dont ever buy pre-shredded cheese, mainly because it's usually not good cheese to begin with.
