I used these vegan-style cheddar shreds to make a killer patty melt. It’s luxurious, great-tasting comfort food. To get a perfect melt use low heat and more time. This is true of all vegan cheeses. The knee-jerk reaction of not liking it on a first try usually has more to do with not knowing how to cook it. Learn to work with it and it’s as good as any. While vegan products may require new cooking techniques, that’s not a flaw, so I won’t ding them on the point. We simply must learn how to use it.
