Measuring cheddar cheese (shredded) accurately

A cup of cheddar is really a question of how it's cut. Loosely piled shreds trap air, so a cup is lighter; firmly packed or finely grated cheese settles denser and weighs more, and cubed cheddar fills the cup differently again, with gaps between the pieces. This is why a recipe calling for "a cup of shredded cheddar" is only ever approximate — if the amount matters, weigh it to the figure above. Grating fresh from a block also melts far more smoothly than bagged pre-shredded cheese, which is dusted with starch or cellulose to stop it clumping. That coating keeps the shreds separate but can leave a sauce grainy.

Loosely packed shredded cheddar; 1 cup is about 4 oz. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to get the same result every time is to weigh cheddar cheese (shredded) on a kitchen scale and aim for the gram figure above. The conversions on this page are based on the US cup of about 236.6 ml.
