The first rule for cooking with Tillamook Cheese is to have fun. But because cheese is high in protein, it can be tricky to melt properly. If you're making a sauce over the stovetop, it's best to use room temperature, shredded cheese. Add it slowly over moderate heat and use a minimum amount of cooking time to ensure that the cheese blends and melts well. Note that sharp cheeses melt more smoothly than younger cheeses, which may become stringy.

There are rarely leftovers with Tillamook Cheese, but if you find yourself reheating a previously made dish, follow these rules. For cheese sauce, warm over hot water to heat more evenly and prevent burning (a double boiler would work for this). And to heat frozen baked cheese dishes, cover tightly and place in the oven at a moderate temperature until evenly warm.
