How much a block of cheddar grates to
Grated cheddar weighs about 113 g per loosely packed cup, and a block grates to more than you'd expect — roughly 4 cups per pound (about 450 g). So when a recipe calls for "1 cup grated cheddar," you only need around 4 oz of block cheese. Grate it yourself rather than buying pre-shredded where you can: bagged cheese is dusted with anti-caking starch that can make sauces grainy and slower to melt. Pack the cup gently — pressing it down can add 20% more weight than the recipe intends.
