I love how you took every precaution to dry these properly! Thanks for this, can't wait to try it!

If you melt the cheese first , you can get a lot of the fat out before you dry it. You wont waste paper towls this way. And you have less mess. You should store it in a dark glass jar with a little bag of silica in it. Then it shouldn't go bad that easy. I still have a jar in my cabinet from four years ago that is still good. I found that ones with higher suger turn darker color in time. Just mine have never gone bad. They still have the taste. Just the color changes. No yucky smell either. And to save money if you buy a bottle of dry grated cheese like kraft cheese. Dont put it in the frig like they tell you. It will mold and go bad. There should be no reason to put a dry grated cheese in the frig. It will only collect moisture. I think they tell people this si they buy more.

I love your channel. I enjoy it daily. I always feel like running away to your land. hahaha I really got into Our Half Acre Homestead when I was in rehab for the broken leg. I so enjoyed it. Your channel and a few others were my constant companions. I so appreciate all the dehydrator recipes and all I have learned here. Keep growing and sharing.

Love you videos! You are a WONDERFUL teacher....much Love and gratitude

Lol my Mom had that grater slicer thing I remember as a kid it was my job to grind n blend everything. Thanks for happy childhood memory.

Haha! I use my whisk from my mixer too! This is so awesome! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!

I'm just loving your older videos ☺️. Feeling so blessed that I found you

I'm going backpacking this weekend and I've already dehydrated some eggs and bacon for our breakfasts. Thanks to this video we will be eating cheesy eggs! Thanks!!

Oh awesome! That's fantastic Bev. Adding some dry mustard powder and or a dash Worcestershire sauce would make it really awesome.

Interesting video. Than you very much for sharing.

Wow! Who would have thought?! I so want to try cheese making. Maybe this winter. And now I have a way to preserve it! Thanks:)

I so love all your videos! Thank you for all your time and effort with educating all of us! You are truly genuine and one who does deserve appreciation in all aspects! In your experience and knowledge what would be the best dehydrator to get? I've been looking at several styles but have no experience. Thank you for sharing with us!

OMG I have to try this out. good way to use up cheese before it goes bad. we buy cheese in bulk and sometimes we don't get to use it up in time

I just got some extra cheese on sale and it’s way more than I can us, and I had the idea that maybe I could dehydrate it. Thanks so much. ( I wasn’t so thrilled when I first tried dehydrating, but am so glad I gave it another go. I have been having a ball this summer. ).

Butter and flour like that is called a rue. My mother taught me to make it when I was young. She use it in making baked Mac and cheese, with the crispy cheesy layer on the top. We never had Kraft MC growing up. I use it making was ked scalloped potatoes and ham, yes with cheese. My late husband's favorite. . So good

Another great video, thank you! I'd like to ask 2 questions. Can you dehydrate any cheese? Also, can you recommend a decent dehydrator for someone on a fixed income? I might have to save up for it, and that's okay. But need to know as there's so much information out there and everyone's promoting their own products. Again, thank you!

That looks so good! I wish I had the patience.

I haven't ever thought of doing cheese. The way I dehydrate came about by accident. I use my oven top on my kitchen cookstove. I've only done a few things...peppers, tomatoes, garlic and I think that is it. Reason being, I gave my main floor to my kids for two years once my mom passed away. But they will be moving out and I will have my stove back. Yippee to getting the main floor back. When I get back on track I may try this.

Wonderful this helped alot. I have mt cheese dehydrating right now at 90°

Using the whisk from your mixer.... that was my huge takaway 😂 So resourceful!

Just did a pound of cheese to try it in a recipe. this will be a money saver.

I did this we love it

Oh I really want to try this. Since hurricane Dorian hit us, and a we are a family of 9 without power for 7 days I could totally us this. Love ya and thanks for sharing Peace love and Happiness ~ Tracey

I bought a bunch of shredded cheese and I put it on paper towels and it didn't stick to it. I change the paper every 4 hours. I love how my cheese powder turned out

IF you melted the cheese first you could save the butter and a Bunch of paper towels! Just sayin'. :) I'm enjoying ALL of your videos. Thank you for taking the time!

I know this video is 4 years old, but when I got a dehydrator, you taught me so many valuable lessons. I do have a question that I hope you see, after all this time. Do you have any tips on drying Parmesan cheese?

I don’t want to deluge you with comments, but I had to crack up watching you cook. I rarely measure unless I am baking, so I am glad to see a kindred spirit.

Wow never knew you could dehydrate cheese! Wow! 😲

Such a beautiful Boston terrier!

I have some leftover tomato sauce that was store-bought. Since I was already dehydrating tomatoes I added one sheet with the sauce on it figuring I could powder at all and mix it together. I can’t get the sauce past the fruit rollup leather stage. It will never turn into a powder. Is that because the sauce probably had oil in it?

Do you think that parchment paper would work when you start drying the cheese, or perhaps good butcher's paper?

I've never seen cheese powder before, I don’t know if they sell it here (UK). Yours has no weird colours or chemicals though, so at least you know you're eating real food! Have you found it retains it's flavour for however long you want to store it, or do you have to use it quite quickly?

once again I'm amazed!

Just wonder if boiling/simmering the cheese in water will get it to release the fat to the surface. Skim off and then drying the defatted cheese to get the cheese solids which can be ground into powder.

enjoyed your video .thanks so much .i am learning alot..

im gonna try this i just got dehydrator last month i been behydrating every thing tomatoes chips are my fav so far but this looks good

Thx for this vid. I did it all and when I went to make the mac and cheese, it was grainy!!! Help! I have so much cheese powder.

Just an idea, add some turmeric to the cheesy pasta to give it some colour.

So much to learn 👍😍

You could add a little tumeric for the color. It doesn't affect the taste but will make it yellow-er.

Would you be able to save some effort and oil by using Low or No-fat cheese to start with?

How well did it hold up stored awhile? Also on a different note, If you store your store bought milk in a glass container with lid it's lasts twice as long I find.

That is a great ideal.

That would be yummy on popcorn.

I have a cheap ALDI dehydrator. No fan, only heat. No temp settings. Just plug in and unplug to stop. Will this work for cheese?

Oh omg who would of thunk it, this is a must try for this weeks dehydrating, was your cheese full fat Bev? I'm not a fan of buying altered food, so hoping your cheese was full fat x

Hi. The reason I am commenting is coz I am looking for answers. I want to make cheese popcorn and don't to spend on cheese powder which is not available readily in my country. Couple of hours back, I shredded half a pound of Cheddar cheese and left it to be dried. My idea was to dry it using Sun and then use it. However, the sight of so much grease bothers me since it might hamper the end product, the popcorn. Please advise.

have you dehydrated milk?

I am finally going to start dehydrating and my question, is it okay for temperature is 160 degrees? My dehydrator has preset 160 degrees.

Thank you for the tutorial. We tried to dry some cheddar cheese but we got some really really greasy dry cheese after two days of drying on low temperature. Please kindly advise .

How did this end up storing ?

That looked so good ...

I'm guessing that it is probably healthier too considering most of the oil is out of it? That mac and cheese looked super tasty.

Omigoodness, my mom had that same grater when I was a kid. I remember.it had 3 or 4 different heads; one that sliced like yours and 2 diff ones for large and fine grate. It worked quite well. Such memories. :)

It's been days still not done and what a mess I made.lol it's been fun..I tryes the eggs they spilled all over ..

Watched another video. She made cloth rings for hers to put cheese on and absorb the oils

DAFT QUESTION......can you dehydrate those between 2 pieces of paper towel?

What don't U think of my friend ? U amaze me. Keep these goody videos coming please

do you put oxygen absorbers in the jar before sealing? great video. thanks

I would not have the patience to do this, so hat's off to you! But my mom used to have that exact same strainer when I was growing up! So, a bit of nostalgia there...Did you hear that Kraft is planning to remove the artificial dyes and preservatives from the blue box mix by January 2016? They will replace with turmeric and paprika, which was a bit of a relief since my kids like it and it has to be orange. LOL..

I would think that lining the drying trays with paper towels one would end up hindering proper air flow around the product. Just using the center hole would be insufficient. Haven't tried it but just my observation.

Can you reuse the oiled paper towels as fire starter?

Eggsellent!

I was watching a video by Heidi from Rain Country Homestead, she made a cloth that would fit on her trays from non dyed cotton. I'm wondering if this would work and help absorb the oil from the cheese so you wouldn't have to use all that paper. and cloth can be washed and reused. might be worth trying?

You can take and wax up block of cheese and it keeps longer and you don't have to worry about the oils in it in fact you want the oils in it that's part of the cheese it'll keep up to 35 years

Great video, I cheated I bought a jar of dehydrated cheese, I don't have the patience to go to that effort, but another item ticked off for the pantry.

Lol I dunno about anyone else, but I get pissed off, when someone tries to text me or calls me when I am watching Mrs B's videos! Ugh! I don't like being disturb at all when I am watching these videos.. I'm sure most viewers feel the same way too! Omg I love the old Pyrex bowl also. Love love love this stuff lol I have got to try this recipe !!

Yummy!!👍

what type of funnel are yu using and where can u get one ?

Why does the dried cheese get powdered at the end? All the dehydrated cheese vidoes I have seen end that way.

Can you store this at room temperature?

My parents had the exact same grater. Hmmmm . . . wonder where it went.

If u use parchment paper u can dehydrate shredded cheeses

does licking your fingers and then picking up the slices with those fingers help the storage of the cheese lol

I'm interested in making my own sour cream powder, do you think it would work ok?

I know this is old. But I just watched a video where the man put his in beginning on paper towels and changed every hr. Seemed to work

You are a patient woman.

I'm just wandering instead of drying the cheese could you dehydrate the cheese sauce?

Can you use shredded cheese?

Did you find that you used less powdered cheese than you would have the equivalent fresh? I find that you (meaning me) needs LOADS of cheese to get a decent cheese sauce, I love Mustard in mine too, usually Dijon &/or a grainy kind, for taste plus good old Coleman's powder for zing.

I have been known to add either pickled red pepper or fresh red pepper and the "kids" think it is orange cheese, chuckle! 2 thumbs up

I just buy Hoosier hill cheddar cheese, this looks fabulous but too much work, for not a lot of cheese powder...

Eat one, dry one, eat one, dry two, eat one, dry one, eat two, dry two . . . . I'd never be done but I'd be well fed!

I wouldn’t buy boxed Mac and cheese anyway! Nasty and way too salty! Might try this

Was it Nancy

I just asked about this in a facebook group and was told is shouldn't be done, so I set out to find evidence of the contrary. Thank you for doing this! That oil though, oy! Maybe that's why people say not to do it, because it's so labor intensive?

Wow, thanks. didn't know you could dehydrate cheese. figured the fat content would make it spoil. On a side note, I can't see your face, but your voice sounds like Kathy Bates (a compliment).

You don't use metrics for cooking?

Your videos seem blurry

Too much work. I'll just stick to using regular block cheese.

Love you videos! You are a WONDERFUL teacher....much Love and gratitude
