Predict the difference in the cooking quality of cheddar cheese compared to that of fat-free cheddar cheese. Why do you expect these outcomes?


Fat-free cheddar cheese does not melt as well as regular cheddar cheese. Fat-free cheddar cheese separates more easily than regular cheddar cheese when exposed to high heat. Also, because fat-free cheeses have a higher protein content than regular cheese, the fat-free cheese will become tough when heated. However, the "oiling off" effect would be greater in regular cheese, causing the surface of the cooked cheese product to glisten.
