2. MYTH: Reduced-fat cheese is rubbish

In 1916, Canadian James L. Kraft applied for the first U.S. patent for a method of making processed cheese. [7] [8] [9] Kraft Foods Inc. developed the first commercially available, shelf-stable, sliced processed cheese; it was introduced in 1950. The first commercially available individually wrapped cheese slices were introduced in the US by Clearfield Cheese Co. in 1956. [10] These forms of processed cheese have become ubiquitous in U.S. households ever since, most notably used for cheeseburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches because of its ability to cook evenly, distribute/stretch smoothly, and resist congealing, unlike traditional cheddar cheeses. Competitors lobbied unsuccessfully to require processed cheese be labeled "embalmed cheese". [11] You can also cook and bake with reduced-fat cheese, although reduced-fat varieties of hard cheeses may take longer to melt. Grate it finely and melt over a low heat. Sometimes these cheeses produce a skin when baked or grilled, so add them near the end of the baking time. 3.
