The humble Cheese Cloth 🧀😊
Do you guys reckon I can class Cheese Cloth as a kitchen gadget? Regardless, it's so nice to finally have a proper one, it's the best present I've ever got for myself! Look at how pretty it is! Bring on all the Paneer 😁 Om nom nom nom nom 😍
Here's the recipe I follow for anyone keen to try:

And here's the link to my last attempt with a step by step guide 🙂

Have any of you tried making your own cheese? If not, Paneer is a great place to start, it's easy to add to your favourite Indian curries and it seems to be the fastest, most simple cheese to make at home that I could find. Definitely the best reward to effort ratio and you get an insane sense of achievement when it's done. Win, win!

Nice! I bet that is rather satisfying. Good jpb!
Thanks Doug! Satisfaction is guaranteed for tomorrow night's curry for sure 🤤😁
You are welcome. Can not wait to see that curry.
BRAVO!
People in China also use this kind of cloth to filter soybean fragments out of soy milk (both for better-textured soy milk and as a process of making tofu).
I use a sieve but that means my soy milk tastes like sand. Thanks for showing this.
You're welcome Peter! Thanks for sharing your information, it is very interesting! I wonder why the sieve makes it taste like sand? 🤔
Because it can't filter out extremely small particles (fragments of the soybeans). And those particles makes the texture rough when I drink it.
Well done 👌
Thank you! It's really super easy 🙂
I just made some mozzarella and I kinda like how quick and awesome cheese making is! 😅
Nice, takes me back to the days I used to wear cheese cloth shirts 😁
I had a shirt I got to wear when we went to Fiji, I didn't realise at the time but it's basically like cheese cloth 😂
Excellent! I usually have a stash of cheesecloth around.
The first time I just used a thin tea towel, but the cheese cloth was so much easier, my little block of paneer looks super cute!
Lol...awesome!
