For all my life, I've always been told that American cheese is some sort of plastic... However today I've decided to dive into the shady underground world of processed cheese and uncover the shocking truth that lies beneath its superficial "plastic" facade.

And from 0 to 2 when he needs 1.2.
The scales are straight up comedians.

What is "fake" cheese? I would not be surprised to learn that artificial cheese exists, it must exist out there in some form, but what is it if it does and how do you know that Kroger brand cheese is "fake" cheese?
@@danielflanard8274its not made with the ferment process but instead with a gel that absorbs the ingredients of cheese. Doesnt taste the same and melts differently

also also nileblue: doesnt want to get exotic chemical poisoning from eating cheese he made in glassware thats held cyanide mercury and uranium
Right when the camera panned to Nile's side and he said, "or is it?" I heard the VSauce music start playing in my head lmao
I worked in a cheese factory, we made at one time something like velvita, a soft cheese which combined 5 45lb blocks of cheddar, 1 block of Monterey jack cheese, with additional salt heated to a nice liquid state, pumped it into bags in boxes for an hour then had to tear down the entire room and hand clean all the system due to a 3 inch inside diameter pipe went down to 1 inch inside diameter due to the amount of product build up in the pipes. so a pallet of product was made in a few hours but also took 5 hours to clean up. it was fun as heck but labor intensive.
I cook cheese sauces with sodium citrate all the time. Instead of using cheap cheddar you can use any cheese. You can make amazing “plastic” cheese from really expensive and exotic cheeses.
Hello Australia man
@@13_cmi Hello suspiciously astronomical avatar. 🍷
but why ?
@@sajbr Cuz it melts better, you get that gooey cheese pull on grilled cheeses and burgers get the super melted cheese. Also, nachos.
@@sajbr Because the sauce is stringy and smooth as the protein chains bind together. As mentioned in the video the water can separate otherwise and the sauce just becomes oily and weird. This makes it nice and homogenous and still melty like cheese.

@@flowerofash4439 yeah but idk why he even has a kitchen scale, its always better to go with more accurate scales. Ik the better ones are more sensitive to breaking, but 1,2 g isnt going to hurt it

16:25 I mean, if it loosens when you warm it up but retains its shape when cooled down, it's a thermoplastic.

I feel like you're pretty much obligated to say no after such a warning. Saying yes on camera would just out you as a really big weirdo.
@@robertsides3626 And that'd be bad how?
Also, u might think of him as a weirdo if he said yes - which says more abt u than him saying yes would say abt him - but sb else could think he's a curious person who's open to trying new things.
Btw - going beyond the topic cuz why not - the kind of mindset u described brings nothing but dissatisfaction in life. Whether ur a "weirdo" - or actually eccentric - (and whether in a good or bad way) or not, caring about others' opinions to such extent u feel obligated to hide it when ur not facing some mentally underdeveloped that will physically violate u bc they struggle to process a given aspect of u, is excessive/giving too many fvcks.
I love the more fun and casual vibes NileBlue has!!
A Nile Fondu cooking class was not expected. But I'm here for it!
nile pouring the cheese directly onto the sheet pan with no parchment paper really did it for me
The sharp knife on the cookie sheet did it for me
Was gonna say, watching him handle a knife was really something. @@MaybeMari97
the way that he poured it onto a cooking sheet instead of molding it into a block and slicing it is what did it for me
He used all his skill points into Chemistry.
god as a baker that really put it off for me 😭 NILE NOOOO
“Before it wasn’t special, now it’s special.”
The most scientific thing ever uttered in that lab
I took me a little bit to get over the colour of the block of cheddar (cheddar isn't normally that colour). Then i got curious as to why, so I googled it. American cheddar is dyed dark yellow/orange.
Thanks, I was also confused about this. Looked like 'american cheese' from the start...
Interesting. I'm an American , and we have cheddar (the orange kind) and white cheddar. Adding to the confusion we also have American (white) and Yellow American (orange)
i love how NileBlue videos looks like a basic "experience" video from a regular youtuber despite him being one of the most precise chemist on the platform

Needs 1.2 grams of an ingredient: uses gram scale

Refuses to elaborate.
Obviously because the second scale was a food safe, non-trash scale. Measuring chemicals on it would make it a food unsafe, trash scale.

at first im like as if he doesn’t have a more accurate scale.. and then he uses it for the 50g measurement 😂 wth

@@GameboygeniusHe literally drunk that chemical, so it's pretty strange explanation. He's probably was lazy and didn't want to go for better scale while filming first part.
Thank you NileCheese, I have learned a great deal about the world today

I mean… the chemicals are already in a thing you eat so it’s probably not harmful (except for the taste)
@@Brimations The rule about not eating in the lab is to prevent accidents in which real food get contaminated with dangerous chemicals, or dangerous chemicals are mistaken for food. Actually, didn't Nigel just recently upload a video on lab safety in which he mentioned and explained that specific rule?
@@Merrsharr😂you mean 3 full years ago
Nile didn't make a kraft single, he made a kraft DOUBLE
Also upgraded it to the Kraft Deli Deluxe
Triple even lol
Double Stuf Cheese Singles
Craft Thic
To be fair he didn't make a kraft single, his was mostly cheese and so is a 'cheese food', whereas a kraft single is mostly non-cheese (less than 51% cheese) and so is a 'cheese product'. That's why his tasted better.
Just watched the nebula grāpple video. Very cool.
It's also giving wicked stepmother
You never cease to amaze me.
Nile red: your average chemistry channel
Nile blue: your not so average cooking channel

The process was satysfying to watch, but his cooking skills are completely off.
I don't think the average chemistry channel goes around turning gloves into grape soda.
The “queso” play on words was chefs kiss.
Nah it was caseoh
@@GuyWhoLikesColombianCocaine No because queso means cheese. and he said 'kay so
The chemical formula for Trisodium Citrate, the most commonly used emulsifier for processed cheese, is Na3C6H5O7. Or, without the numbers, NaCHO.
@@LoganHarris-vw3gx I know I was just joking
I've seen this video before, and that queso got me again!
1:31 queso was way funnier than it should have been
Lol it really was 😂
it caught me so off guard I nearly choked on my food. hilarious!
Yes!
Almost got a spittake out of me😂
@@nuclearfrog306
Choked on my drink, hilarious.
Fun fact: Sodium citrate is a common cooking ingredient and is often used for exactly this purpose - to make cheese sauces more cohesive and melty.
Yeah, I was wondering why it was such a nice sauce! I usually combine cheese with some flour and milk, and a little bit of water in different ratios to make a decent sauce but it's always way too thick. Gotta get me some Sodium Citrate (food safe)
its chemical formula (just on the elements) is also nacho
Adam Ragusea made a video on it.
@@avancarr8690even funner fact, you can make sodium citrate in the pan by combining lemon juice (citric acid) and baking soda
also fun fact, you can make sodium citrate at home! simply put lemon juice with baking soda (sodium bi/carbonate) and heat them up in a sauce pan, add any cheese/cream/milk mixture you want and now you have very smooth liquid/cream/sauce cheese!
I enjoyed this video good job!
Quickly said: American Cheese: Chemicals
European Cheese: Natural
0:18 not hearing the VSauce beat drop after the “Or is it” was soul crushing
... thank you....I couldn't understand the emptiness I felt at this very moment.
I thought i just didn’t hear it the first time 😭
Especially with that camera switch too. Man knew what he was doing. Lol
Bro same brain cell
i literally out loud did the thing when he said that
I know why NileRed/Blue's videos feel so ethereal; he doesn't have ANY background music, just the raw footage and some editing. Magical.
i think he has a LOT of editing.
NileRed does a shitload of editing, but NileBlue doesn't seem so hard, hence the upload frequency. Check out the Trash Taste with Nigel
I know you mean well, but the idea of "no background music = ethereal" is so funny to me
It's because science is silent
It is refreshing.
nile is my favorite cooking channel
Love how he ate the cheese, a completely silly and truthful moment. Awesome
NileRed: I can make Grape Soda and Spicy Sauce out of a plastic gloves
NileBlue: With Cheese and some Chemicals I made.... Cheese
@@BelieveinJesusChrist3what the fuck are you talking about?
Well legally it's not even cheese. It's something that is similar to cheese.
Thinking quickly, Nile makes cheese with water, some crystals, and cheese.
Thinking quickly, NileBlue constructs cheese using only lab chemicals, a nearby lake, and cheese
... Dave constructs a homemade megaphone using only some string a squirell and a megaphone.
You know how characters in cartoons have angels and devils on their shoulders? I love how Reggie is BOTH to Nigel. Like, even in this very video you can see Reggie encourage Nigel to drink the nasty chemical filled water, and then immediately say "are you sure". It's just perfect controlled chaos element
You’re right 😂
I love how this is basically an unhinged cooking channel at times XD
Cool video! To me it looked like Velveeta. My mom used to use it all the time for macaroni and cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, and cheesy casseroles. I am not sure if the stuff even needs refrigeration.
I laughed way too much with the "Okay, so" with the "Queso" subtitle.
Lol same I can't stop 🤣
That was pretty clever 😂😂😂
Same omg
I think that was the first IRL belly laugh I've had from a youtube video all year
I honestly think that was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time

NileBlue making cheese: that smells nasty
i was about to say the same

I really don't get how anyone can eat that stuff lol. But I'm also spoiled, living in the Netherlands where Gouda and Beemster cheese is made and readily available.
@kaelon9170 me too haha, I'm french and American cheese seems not so good. And the cheddar is so orange too!
@@kaelon9170im italian, can’t eat cheese for any reason, if i wasn’t inclined to cheese into first place, after having seen american cheese i can firmly state that i don’t wanna have shit to do with cheese
Nile: *drinks up the chemical water with no hesitation.*
Also Nile: *hesitantly tries the cheese he created*
i like how you made Velveeta cheese lol. or just really thick slices but man that on a burger or grilled cheese probably tastes soo good
I love this channel because on Red he’s wayyyy more professional and on here he just eyeballs possibly dangerous chemicals and goes “eh good enough”
There actually is a certain point when working in chemistry for long enough leads you to gradually become less and less scared of harmful chemicals…not in the way you aren't cautious still, but in the way where it's like. Ehhhh, If I get chemical burns it's fine I'll deal with it later 🤣
It also helps that the chemicals aren't as dangerous as stated in the video. It's a channel where he can do more mundane chemistry, having fun and less concerned about potentially dying or getting extremely sick from taste testing dangerous chemicals.
@@bygoditsfullofstarsit's not rare that the most experienced people in a field are the ones who actually get hurt due to complacency
These chemicals aren’t dangerous. Chefs use sodium citrate to make stable queso sauces that can stay liquid for longer and not separate
I've worked in a cheese factory where the primary product was American cheese. The way they get the slices so thin is by using a large rotating chilled stainless steel roller that picks up the melted cheese where it immediately solidifies and is then sliced and peeled off.
But is it plastic?
@@jontay4199of course not, at least not plastic as in a milk jug. It’s plastic in the way it acts as a solid.
@@jontay4199the only similarity between American cheese and plastic is that both melt easily
That's pretty cool, actually
yes, we are aiming by 2030 to have all consumables to contain brain chemical altering substances to finally control the people as we have always intended
the key soo.../queso part was genius
Nice cheese alloy!
*Nile weighing chemicals: use a cheap inaccurate weight scale
*Nile weighting milk powder: use a professional accurate weight scale

@@SeanHoltzman well to be fair, hes using sodium
I love how he got the professional scale and then just went "good enough" while measuring

"so i wasn't planning on adding these extra ingredients"
*has a commercial sized bag of whole powdered milk on standby*
🤣 A commercial/industrial sized bag of milk powder is much, much larger.
You dont?
@@markhamstra1083
It sure is, it was in a regular plastic bag you can use in the freezer too.
@@markhamstra1083 Yeah. As everyone knows, food comes in a natural quanta of 50 lbs bags (or occasionally 100 lbs, or sometimes 33 lbs).
If larger, it comes as collection of bags on a 1000-2000 lbs pallet with all-natural plastic shrink-wrap (just as nature intended).
Liquids come as natural sizes of either 5-gallon buckets or 55 gallon drums, potentially also on a pallet.
Then, maybe before the modern era of forklifts, mammoths had used their paired tusks to move the pallets from place to place; with a bird sitting on their heads to screech at 1 second intervals when the mammoth is in motion. The forklift is merely a mechanical approximation of this natural order.
i'm pretty sure that's leftover from when he made the "most pure" chocolate chip cookie vid. that, or the lab made chocolate bar vid

Was looking for that comment 😂👌🏻 on point
That was funny
Hahahah same here. Was looking for this comment
Agreed, just great
I have a friend who used to (maybe still?) work in a milk processing plant. He said that the cheese that is used to make the ‘plastic cheese’ products was basically any milk/cheese that didn’t meet their standards for their higher quality products. A great use of stuff that would have otherwise been thrown out.
I briefly worked in a cheese shredding plant, where we'd shred 5-10lb blocks of cheese to make the pre-shredded stuff. For any given variety, we'd throw up to 20% other cheeses on the line, just whatever was about to be legally unsellable or which there was a glut of. Anything that couldn't be sold in block form for any reason. One of those reasons was mold; if there was mold visible on the block, we were to cut off any dot of mold larger than a dime. Smaller mold patches went right in, because it'd take too long to cut off all of the mold.
So shredded cheese is pre-seeded with mold, made from the older cheese to begin with, and not even the variety or brand on the label. And this wasn't for a generic supermarket cheese brand, this was a proper brand.
I stopped eating pre-shredded cheese after that. Of course, it didn't help that I'd come home each day covered head-to-toe in a layer of cheese mixed with sweat so think I could scrape it off with a knife.
At least processed cheese is cooked a bit as part of the process. Should kill at least some part of any biological contaminants.
Basically the whole point of American cheese was to make the cheapest cheese possible out of cheese scraps and other dairy products

@@oasntet that is pretty disgusting with the mould in the cheese, is that just a US thing?
@@conorstewart2214 for cheddar and hard cheeses you can just cut off the moldy bits and its fine to eat
This is why the rest of the world doesn't regard American 'Cheese' as cheese, it's wrong on so many levels.
“This way the chunks of god, will stand no match..” had me giggling. Great video, it’s pretty gouda.
I worked at a cheese factory called ampi we used fresh cheddar, butter, enzymes, and powdered milk. The exact amounts depended on the compamy ordering it. For burger king it was 5 , 500 lb cheese "blocks" they were actually cylindrical. 12 50 lb blocks of butter, 4 50 lb bags of powdered milk, and 1 10 lb bag of enzymes. I loaded the belt and fed it into a mixing machine then it was sent downstairs and heated , extruded and sliced.
Fast food places contract out their own blend of cheese? I figured they just bought a standard brand of sliced American instead of specifying their own blend to be made at the manufacturer level, that's pretty cool. I guess if you require all your food everywhere to taste the same it makes sense, but I doubt the Kraft Singles taste different in Kentucky than they do in Oregon so I don't really see why they wouldn't just pick a cheese brand to buy unless it's cheaper to have it made specifically for them. Ether way that's pretty neat, I've worked in some factories where we produced stuff that we'd actually see out in the wild too so that kinda thing really tickles my autism.
Damn it’s never occurre to me that fast food chains have their own recipes for processed cheese. I would’ve thought they all used the same generic stuff
and W A T E R, because that is the whole point.
@@hornmonk3zit Places that buy ingredients in bulk don't need to buy the same off the shelf stuff you do, skip the individual packaging and upsize the deliveries and now you're getting a custom order that the established brand's factory isn't tooled to provide for you
@@hornmonk3zit Contract manufacturing means never having to pay for someone else's brand.
Hey! Finally, something I'm an expert in. I'm a food science PhD working in process cheese R&D and I must say you did a great job! Every time I though "He should...", you did the thing I was thinking. Add fat, add shear, etc. The process cheese "product" you showed at the beginning is actually quite different in a lot of ways, though the eating experience ends up being very similar. The formulation and processing have to be developed in such a way that "cheese" has the proper mechanical properties and tensile strength to be cast into a thin sheet and rolled around the factory.. like toilet paper almost.. and into the wrapper. Thank you so much for showing people that food isn't really scary just because there is transformation and processing involved!!! 🙏❤
Bonus chemistry for anyone interested: the salts you added are called "emulsifying salts" somewhat erroneously. While they are indirectly responsible for making the stable emulsion possible, they themselves aren't surface active and don't stabilize the oil water interface. They are actually chelating agents that sequester calcium from casein protein micelles. That causes the casein subunits (which are amphiphillic) to disassociate and orient at the oil-water interface, stabilizing the emulsion! Without the emulsifying salts, you would just have an oily, separated mess.
Hey Terrance, you're awesome

The hate for American cheese isn't because it's processed, it's because it tastes like ass
That thing ain't a kraft single, that's a kraft quadruple
8:11 "At this point it just looks like cheese sauce." This is basically how you make a homemade cheese sauce for mac and cheese, except I've never heard of adding the hexametaphosphate and you usually add at least 1 other type of cheese. You should also add the cheese bit at a time, and stir it until it's fully melted and combined with the water before adding the next bit of cheese. Otherwise the resulting product could end up grainy. The sodium citrate helps keep the protein in the cheese from separating from the fats.

Pour it into a block mold and put it in the refrigerator. After the block solidifies, slice it. The top of your cheese is discolored because it dried out in the refrigerator.
When they make the packaged slices, where every slice is wrapped in foild, they actually fill the liquid cheese in the foil and let those cool down and set. so the foil package defines the slices.When made it is like plastic welding an endless tube of foil with cheese into pieces.
Or he needed to cover the tray in plastic wrap
I was thinking the exact same thing. That way you can create as thick or thin slices as you want them to be.
wax paper my dude
@@alexanderkupke920 its so crazy that we use fucking plastic to cover each fucking slice of cheese. This world is lost

"Should I taste some of i-" "Yeah!"
"You want som-" "No."
Fr 😂
the true spirit of friendship
You left out the part where he said it tastes sweaty before asking
Greatest episode ever!
"sweaty" is the exact flavor I taste when I eat American cheese.
I enjoy the fact that this is filmed like those unhinged Facebook mom cooking videos with the cameraman commentary and everything
Fun Fact: "Kraft Singles" and similar store brands are classified as "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product" because it's made partially with vegetable oil, but there is deli-style American Cheese (ex. "Kraft Deli Deluxe" slices) and they are classified as "Pasteurized Process American Cheese". Which means it's a higher quality and has a higher cheese content. You basically made Deli-style in this video because it didn't have oil and fillers. This is why I always will be an advocate for Deli Style American cheese. It tastes so much better.
You don't even have to get Kraft. Great Value (Walmart store brand) sells their own version of "Deli-style" American Cheese and its just as good.
Guess I have to buy deluxe from now on. Vegetable oil. Eew.
Guess Nigel has to redo this video, and add vegetable oil. The cheapest stuff from Walmart.
I recommend cooper cheese. It's basically "sharp american cheese"
I didn't have kraft singles until I was an adult. I've only ever had the deli stuff
Basically correct, but incomplete. You’ve covered the two highest quality classifications of American Cheese, but there are two more. Find Kenji’s article “What Is American Cheese, Anyway?” at Serious Eats for a more complete rundown.
2:32 THE SOUND IT MADE GOT ME ALMOST CRYING LAUGHING 😂🤣
0:19 "it is real cheese"
"or is it?" *vsause music plays*
The way a chemist cooks food is so clinical.
Israeli meat printing company is approved by FDA to sell fake meat in USA. Of course it's not for Jews. They can't eat bad stuff. Only for non Jews.
The way a chef does chemistry is sloppy.
And dishonest. This is not American Cheese. American Cheese is white, not yellow. This stuff is cheese substitute. It's the crap that comes in individually wrapped slices sold in the dairy section of American supermarkets. Actual American cheese comes from the deli.
@@christo930 he specifically wanted to make the cheese that looks like plastic, which IS the yellow stuff. It isn't dishonest everyone knew what he meant, grow up.
@@christo930 hop off my goat
