Does vegan cheese melt and grate well??

Answers:
I am a former chef and like to use it as it is low in fat, for problems with melting, the problem is it does not have the fat in it like dairy cheese, that is what aids in the melting of the cheese and browning.
To fix this when you grate or use slices just add a bit of veg oil to it rub it on slices and just toss a 1/4 teaspoon into a pile of grated cheese, it worked well for my veggie lasagna and in cooked sauces, I found with right spices and flavours it can make alternative pastas like rice, soya and spelt taste good, most people try to relie on the cheese in the sauces and food items but soya cheese will not give you that creaminess or mouth feel of dairy cheese so you have to play with your dishes and add more flavours to aid in the dishes.
