The text is a transcript of a video from a YouTube channel called "Food Theory". The host, Stephanie, and her co-host, Jason, are conducting an experiment to test the limits of cheese stretching. They are trying to pull a slice of cheese to a height of 61 inches, which is taller than Stephanie herself.
The experiment involves grilling sandwiches made with different types of cheese: American cheese, cheddar, brie, mozzarella, and pepper jack. Each sandwich is pre-sliced and heated in the oven, and then the cheese is stretched vertically. The goal is to see which type of cheese can stretch the farthest.
The results show that the semi-soft cheeses, mozzarella and pepper jack, perform the best. Mozzarella stretches 69 inches, while pepper jack stretches 63 inches. The hard cheese, cheddar, and the soft cheese, brie, do not stretch as far.
The host also explains the science behind why cheese is stretchy. The cheese-making process involves separating milk into curds and whey, and then heating the curds until the casein protein in the curd denatures, making the cheese stretchy.
The video ends with the host expressing disappointment that they did not reach the world record for the longest piece of string cheese, which is 3832 feet long. The host also mentions a sponsor, Fetch, a free app that allows users to earn rewards by scanning their receipts.
1. The video is about a food theory episode where the host and co-host attempt to stretch cheese to its maximum limit.
2. The host has a goal to stretch the cheese to a height of 61 inches, which is taller than the host's height of 5'1".
3. The host and co-host tested various types of cheese, including hard cheese like cheddar, soft cheese like brie, semi-soft cheese like mozzarella, and American cheese.
4. The cheese was heated to its maximum temperature before pulling to maximize the stretch.
5. The cheese was pulled vertically for maximum stretch, working alongside the force of gravity.
6. The cheese that performed best was mozzarella, which stretched to 16.5 inches.
7. The cheese that performed worst was brie, which only stretched to 4 inches.
8. The host and co-host tested the cheese again after heating it as much as possible, but the results were not as impressive as the first test.
9. The final cheese that was tested was pepper jack, which stretched to 63 inches.
10. The longest cheese pull in the world was a 3832 feet long string cheese created by 1700 people in Wisconsin.
11. The host and co-host concluded that mozzarella cheese is the best for cheese pulling.
12. The host and co-host used the Fetch app to get rewards for purchases made during the episode.
