Title: How many Slices of Cheese
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 10 October 2016, 18:16:16: Have always felt 2 slices is just not enough.. like them double whopper rip-offs @ burgerking

Drawn the line at 5 slices though, beyond that point, really gums up the sandwich and you can't taste any of the other ingrediants.

Your thoughts ?

Hrrrrrmmmm..

I suppose the metric is cheese to bread ratio..

For me it's 5x slices of cheese to 2 slices of white bread..

Post by: Dr_Alphabet on Mon, 10 October 2016, 18:53:56: Unless it's a grilled cheese or some kind of melt, 5 is too much. 3 or 4 max, depending on the type of sandwich and cheese. When your stack of cheese is thicker than a slice of the bread your using, it's too much cheese.

Post by: fohat.digs on Tue, 11 October 2016, 07:10:09: If you are heating the sandwich, melted cheese quickly turns into a layer of lubrication that makes the whole thing unmanageable. Cooled down sufficiently afterwards, however, the cheese can be a glue that keeps it together.

Post by: Fictiouz on Tue, 11 October 2016, 07:15:42: I think with burgers a simple 1:1 ratio between patty and cheese is a safe bet. If talking regular sandwich with sliced meat 1:4 or 1:5 ratio between cheese and meat slices is a pretty safe bet. It gets complicated when talking other situations.

You use one slice. ONE!
Use good cheese, real cheese with flavour and there is no need to use more.

Post by: rowdy on Wed, 12 October 2016, 04:28:07: I have one slice of cheese in each of my two sandwiches for lunch. That seems enough for me - sometimes I can still taste the cheese over the other fillings.
Title: Re: How many Slices of Cheese
Post by: Slash Emperor on Wed, 12 October 2016, 09:18:01: I only go one slice for sandwiches, since that's enough to taste. Any more than that and I'll feel like a fatty.

I'd go 2 slices for grilled cheese, though, especially if I'm doing two types of cheese.

For burgers, none, since I buy them from the local deli with mozzarella and bacon already in the there and it is superb right off the grill.

Americans sometimes refer to cheese and cheese-like-plastic-substances interchangeably.

Post by: Data on Fri, 14 October 2016, 13:56:45: I never eat "cheese food" or "cheese product". Real cheese only.

The number of slices is proportionate to the meat. The mass of the cheese should never be more than roughly half the mass of the meat, and never less than one tenth. Usually I can get by with 1 slice, but I buy good cheese sliced generously. If I'm making a Dagwood then I usually double-up.

Grilled cheese sandwich = at least 3
Regular sandwich = 2
Hamburger = 2
