How to measure shredded cheese
Fill the cup loosely with shredded cheese and level it without pressing. Pressed shreds fill the gaps between them, so a packed cup weighs more.
Shredded, diced and melted cheddar
A cup of shredded cheddar weighs 113 g, a cup of diced cheddar 132 g and a cup of melted cheddar 244 g. The same cheese weighs more than twice as much per cup once melted, because the air between shreds is gone.
A 1 oz slice weighs 28 g, so a cup of shreds is about 4 slices' worth.
Cheddar and parmesan by the cup
Finely grated parmesan weighs 100 g a cup, 13 g less than shredded cheddar.
