Need 2 cups grated cheddar cheese and you have only a block
of cheddar? Cut a 1/2-pound piece and grate it. How big
is a 1/2-pound piece? Use a food scale, if you have one. Otherwise,
just keep grating until you fill a 2-cup container with grated cheese.
Budget-wise you’re way ahead if you
grate your own cheese. Consider this:
A 2-pound block of cheddar cheese
(which is 32 ounces) costs $5 or $6--or 16 cents per ounce. Two cups of
packaged grated cheddar cheese weighs 8 ounces and can cost as little as $3--or
32 cents per ounce. Thus, packaged grated cheese costs about twice as much as
cheese you grate yourself.
