Blind Taste Test Panels- Grilled Cheese (our choice)

Purpose: The purpose was to see if the teachers and students could see if they could tell the difference between the grilled cheese's without knowing which cheese is which. We also wanted to see which one they would like more overall.

Procedure:

The way that we did this was that I took a piece of bread and buttered it on the side that was going to go down first, than I put the cheese on next which was 2 slices of Tillamook cheese on 2 of the grilled cheese's and 2 slices of Kraft singles on 2 sandwiches than we cooked all of the sandwiches at the same time which was 1:37 and a 1:42 than I took it off the heat and put it on the 2 plates. I gave a sample of each to eight different people and I asked them to rate them on appearance, taste, aroma, texture, overall quality.

Our Hypothesis:
The Kraft singles will rate higher in flavor , appearance, and overall quality. Both of the sandwiches will rate equal in texture and aroma.
Our results:
Adults prefer Tillamook Sharp cheddar cheese over Kraft singles sharp cheddar in every category.
