Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I Use Low-Fat Milk to Make Cheese?
Yes, but the cheese will be less creamy and have a different texture compared to using whole milk.
What is Rennet and Where Can I Find It?
Rennet is an enzyme that helps curdle the milk. It can be found at health food stores, specialty cheese shops, or online.
Is It Necessary to Use Calcium Chloride?
Calcium chloride helps restore calcium to pasteurized milk, improving curd formation. It’s optional but recommended if you’re using pasteurized milk.
Can I Make Cheese Without a Microwave?
Yes, you can heat the curds in a pot of hot water instead of using a microwave. Heat the water to about 170°F (77°C) and place the curds in a cheesecloth-lined colander, then dip the colander in the hot water for a few seconds before kneading.
