Melting Cheddar
Many of the recipes on this Web site use reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Part of the reason is because of the reduced fat and calories, but also these cheeses melt better.
You can try this for yourself. Melt an ounce of 2% milk cheese on one slice of toast and an ounce of regular cheddar on another. The full fat cheddar will separate, with much of the fat turning to a greasy oil, while the reduced fat version will not.
