Ok, this is probably a weird question. My husband thinks I’m the only person in the world who microwaves cheese before eating it.
I prefer room temperature or warm cheese - it just tastes so much better! So I will microwave a slice of cheese for like 5-10 seconds (depending on size) to make it all warm.
Am I the only freak who does this? I swear it tastes so much better this way…
Your hubby sounds… confused.
The flavor of cheese commonly opens up with the application of heat. I’d even argue that eating cold cheese is downright irresponsible from a dietary standpoint, as cheese is also calorie-dense, and cold cheese is less satisfying / interesting than warm cheese. At least… I assume that’s true for most people?
Me, I don’t have a microwave, so instead I pop cheese in the air-fryer and heat it at ~200°F for a minute or two on a non-stick surface.
Ok, you may have just changed my life. We have an air fryer and funny enough, I have fried Haloumi cheese in there but never thought to warm up regular cheese.
I am trying this for lunch.
And I totally agree that the flavor is so much better when it’s room temperature or warmer.
Ah, cool.
Btw, if possible you may want to mute the fan for the heating. Thin slices of cheese (or anything) like to get lifted up by the fan, flying willy-nilly.
Thank you for the tip! We can’t have flying cheese… unless it’s flying into my mouth.
