Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Cubing processed cheese is simpler if you use one of Grandma's tricks. Sometimes she placed the cheese in the freezer for about an hour to firm it so that it would cut more cleanly. Other times she cubed the cheese with a knife that she dipped in hot water (and wiped clean) between cuts.
