    They are not, objectively good, but they are very useful as an emulsifier for cheese sauces. One kraft slice can emulsify a liter or more.

    That said, there is something nostalgic about a grilled cheese using cheap American white bread and Kraft slices.

      They make a great emulsifier because they are cheese + emulsifier already. They use sodium citrate to emulsify cheddar and other cheeses into American.

      You can buy sodium citrate and use that instead

        I have a jar of sodium citrate in my pantry and have only pulled it out once since I bought it. I need to be more proactive about my pantry!
