I stored the dehydrated cheese two different ways. The first way is shredded, so that I can rehydrate the cheese and use it on things like tacos, or melted in quesadillas. The second way is the cheese powder, which I used to make a cheese sauce and really delicious mac and cheese.

great video, as I watch this, I started my first batch of citrus. Never dehydrated before but am seeing all the things you can do to store food. When I grew up we canned foods. My mom would have loved having a dehydrator...

I discovered that in the store bought shedded cheese it contains powdered cellulose ( ground up wood pulp) it prevents clumping when they package it.
love the idea of having shredded cheese in storage! thumbs up

In the paint section, one can buy TSP which is excellent to remove oils from laundry or dishwashing. Two home products are bean water, or the best of all, pasta water. Salted pasta water will make your dishes squeaky clean and take all oils out of laundry.

@@StockingMyPantry thank you for your posts. Hit an Aldi sale on mushrooms but they are getting old because of a bad tooth. I needed to find a way to preserve them and I found your channel. Dehydrating and vacuum sealing is where my disposable income is going for a while.
I love the coffee filter idea when vacuum sealing powders.

Me too!! It's what I always use, because I always have them on hand, and since they crumple up easily, I can put them in both wide mouth and regular mouth jars.
Great information, i think theres less fat in the shredded cheese now they have also added ingredients in the shredded. Thats a different rabbit hole.

Very true!
Sprinkle dried cheese on any recipe that calls for cheese or add to storage foods that need the oomph only cheese can provide. Powdered cheese has a long shelf life of 10-15 years.

Thanks for the info. Just wondering for purposes of difference. Supposedly store bought shredded cheese contains anti-caking chemicals that keep the cheese from sticking together. But this also causes the cheese not to melt properly as with block cheese. Think this would make any difference or perhaps the chemical is removed during the drying process?
Can you use cheese slices?
I have a question: would muslin fabric work just as well as the flour sack fabric?
@StockingMyPantry

Hi Claudia, great question! I would think so, though I haven't tried it so can't say for sure. To be honest, I don't sew and don't know my fabrics well, but I think the fabric would be similar, so I'd give it a shot!

Muslin would definitely work, since it's 100% cotton just like a flour sack towel. I know it sounds weird, but you can get very high quality organic muslin towels from a cloth diaper company. My favorite is Green Mountain Diapers. Of course, you can get them plenty of other places, that's just one that I know and love. Muslin works great for so many things!
