Transcript

00:00Here are three things to do with your parmigiano cheese rind.

00:03The first thing you can do is make a crunchy parmigiano or parmesan cheese crisp.

00:09Spread them evenly on a microwave safe plate.

00:12Pop them in the microwave for about one to two minutes until they puff up and they're bubbly

00:15and kind of greasy and let them cool and then once they cool they'll get nice and crispy.

00:21The second thing you can do is make a parmigiano or parmigiano cheese broth.

00:26Last thing you should do, add it to your sauce.

00:28As the cheese rind melts, it will melt right into that sauce adding salty umami back notes.

00:33And if you want to double use your parmesan rind, take it out of the sauce, cut it up,

00:37and put it in the microwave and then you have a pizza-esque parmesan crisp.

00:42Save the rind, always!
