How to Measure Shredded Cheese in Cups
Shredded cheese can be scooped lightly into a measuring cup and leveled off. Avoid pressing it down — this would pack in significantly more cheese than the recipe intends. A loosely filled cup of pre-shredded cheese weighs about 113 grams.
For cooking and casseroles where exact amounts matter less, cup measurement works fine. For baking recipes that include cheese (like savory muffins or cheese bread), weighing gives more consistent results. Use the calculator above to convert any amount.
Pro tip: Freshly grated cheese from a block melts better than pre-shredded — the cellulose anti-caking agent in pre-shredded bags interferes with smooth melting. For sauces and gratins, grate your own cheese by weight.
