Can somebody help me out? Can you compare what 4 oz. of cheese looks like to something else? I don't feel like guessing, but I don't want to carry around tablespoons with me either. I know that cheese is more dense than something like a small bag of m&m's, but I've been wondering...Thanks! Katie

Since I love to buy my cheese in 1lb blocks, I can tell you exactly what 4oz looks like. I recommend buying an inexpensive food scale for future use. 4oz of cheese is approximately 3" tall/1.5" wide & 1/2" thick. It's a pretty good size hunk of cheese. Personally, I could eat several of these in a day if I let myself... LOL.

Hope this help!

Hi! My way of doing it would be this: the cheese I buy comes in 12 oz packages. Cut it in quarters.

I actually do this any time I open a pack of cheese. I cut it into 1 oz pieces just based on how many oz was in the whole package. Hey, if you're cutting yourself one piece, you might as well save some time and cut it all up...

This won't work if the package is already part gone. So one rule of thumb is that one ounce of cheese is about the size of two dice.

HTH.

I always grate mine so it looks like more a good handfull is usually about 2 oz (but then again thats my hands lol) tou can always buy a cheep pair of scales and weigh it, its better than guessing!!

Take four of the individual packaged 1 oz. string cheeses and put them side by side. That is four oz. of cheese! (not to mention a really great snack!)
