EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Take a dip! Serve cheese sticks with salsa, spaghetti or pizza sauces--they’re perfect for dipping.

Freezing the cheese first allows the outside to get crispy before the cheese starts to melt.

These are awesome! The only problems are: a. if your oil isn't hot enough, it will just absorb the grease and be a mushy nasty mess, b. if you let them fry too long they explode, and c. if you don't freeze the cheese first it's a big mess! I think these are the reasons for any of the bad comments. Just follow the directions and they're ah-mazing!!

I use string cheese (don't forget to freeze them). Family loves them.

Went so much better than I thought, based on the reviews. I used string cheese sticks cut in half and a fry daddy, and none exploded. I do agree that they need more flavor. Next time I will try adding seasonings other than paprika!
