Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

they're currently the wild west and it depends on their intended function and ingredients, in my experience (lactose intolerant ☹️)

my first thought though was "this is a fairly handy guide for food nerds who are into crafting non dairy cheese"

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hard cheese like cheddar doesn't contain much lactose (if any), and is generally considered OK.

Dairy intolerance is another matter though.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

I get symptoms from small amounts of butter and even really aged hard cheese if I don't take lactase, so at this point I have no idea what's up with my system. I suspect a fair amount of it is psychosomatic 😭

I used to spend a borderline irresponsible amount of money on fancy cheese though so at least that's one less vice :P

I found that the melt-ability of most vegan cheeses drastically increases if you mix it with a little bit of water and oil before dispersing it.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 4 points 7 months ago

It's all over the board. Most don't melt, in my experience. Some become crispy.

Some vegan cheeses have more to do with cheese than American cheese
