I was wondering if I can still use it in a recipe if anyone knows?
It's not mouldy or anything but its gone dry and hard and I could do with some extra cheese in the recipe I am cooking
Does anyone know if it would actually melt or just stay hard and be horrible and chewy?
Thanks! :cool:

It's fine for cooking, ideal way to use it up.

It will melt into your sauce or whatever but may not be quite so good if you try to grill it.
