One of the more frustrating things while prepping a grilled cheese or pasta—cheesy stuffed shells alert—with mozzarella, is when you grab your block and start shredding on a cheese grater, and it essentially falls apart. It's easy to understand why: Mozzarella is a soft cheese. It doesn't have the sturdiness of, say, a block of cheddar, which doesn't have any problem grating fresh from the fridge.
Mozz not so much. Whenever you need to grate or slice a soft block of cheese, stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes before you go to use it. The texture will firm up and be so much easier to grate—and will save you from an intense arm workout!
