Can I save bring this cheddar cheese back to life?

[ThaGrandCow]

I have a block of cheese that was sitting out all night on my counter. I'd heard that there was a way to save it/bring it back to an edible state. Can anyone enlighten me?

You could nuke it, I suppose. Dunno if I'd call the result edible.

You can wrap up dried out cheese in a wet paper-towel or cloth, but I wouldn't trust exposed cheese that was also out of the refrigerator over night.

Scrape off the outside, the inside is prolly OK. Works for mold too

nuke it, then put it in a block mold, then put into the fridge. nobody will ever know the difference

just leave the milk out and make more.

Just eat it. How bad could it really be?

If it's been sitting out overnight without refrigeration, I would throw it away. By this time, it's probably a breeding ground for all sorts of fun little microorganisms that would gladly set up shop in your digestive system.

drop it into soup that you'll boil for atleast an hour.

I just asked my mother (stays at home with 5 kids)..she said it's probably ok..put it back in the fridge.

It's probably good - if it gets moldy, cut the mold off and eat the rest.

I have done that MANY times.

I just eat it and have never had bad effects.
