[@winterrose8174]

Did you use raw milk, pasteurized or ultra pasteurized?

[@ArashixArashi]

Thank you for showing the error in the first part and how you resolved it! It will definitely help people troubleshoot if they run into the same problem!

[@laraq07]

I knew the first attempt was not a success as the whey should be greenish not the white seen indicating that the curds had not fully curdled.

[@laraq07]

PS: I've never done the kneading/stretching part. Just stopped at the 'paneer' stage.

What's more relaxing than an Emmy video? An Emmy video with rainfall in the background.

[@BSGSV]

The recipe Emmy showed is basically the same way you make paneer for Indian curries or making the dessert called Rasagula. Basically, boil 1 gal milk (no need to monitor temp), add vinegar to precipitate the milk proteins while boiling, turn off heat. Mix. Strain cheese through cheesecloth. Process cheese by squeezing out liquid under a weight for about 1hr. Do NOT knead the cheese as you would for mozzarella or it will become stringy. Instead, make soft balls about half the size of golf balls by rolling pieces lightly between two palms. Let dry a bit for a few hours before using. For curry or saag paneer, add to curry at the end as you would tofu. For the dessert, boil the balls in sugar syrup.

Try hiding in the attic. No attic? There's always the tub. Nice if the bath has a chair with pillows [to toss in the tub] and a very compact fridge [for soothing witch hazel and creams, etc. - also a bottle of water or, if it's one of those days, a Guinness. A Keurig is great on the counter if, like me, eyes don't open till coffee hits my "on" button. Can't make it to the kitchen to deal with coffee fixings with eyes closed. I'm exactly 22 steps away from my wake-up to bath and so far I've made it to the coffee every morning while my Chi is still in my bed on my pillow dreaming of Milly next door. But I leave a bit of chicken in his easy to open snack bowl in case he awakes. For the day, after a successful escape, grab the decorative tin from the towel closet that holds a favorite snack mix and Lock the Door. Settle into your [dry] tub and the little Frenchies are outwitted. Maybe. Actually my Chi is very determined so during the day I throw some chicken at him. My Chi explores the house never thinking I'm relaxing in the tub [dry] having 30-60 minutes to read or catch up with KZbin or "resting my eyes." My Chi, rescued, loved and adopted has issues- 24/7 velcro boy - and his Vet says he needs to learn to feel secure while alone. He settles and does well but I can only stand 30-60 minutes! It's the small Dogs who would outwit Sherlock Holmes. All the Power Dogs I have adopted took pride in their training and being family. A good two home-cooked meals daily and they felt the exercise, training and play was their bonus. But my little guys rule the house and every breathing thing in it! I know- I'm crazy. But I only adopt badly abused Dogs and delight in their healing so I'll take crazy😊

Makes one wonder what it was like to be the first ever person to make cheese. One moment you have some lovely milk, the next moment it curdles and looks like a hot mess and they tried their best to salvage it, accidentally discovering one of the best food items of all time lol.

[@Yenneffer]

@@nodiggity8746 I'm guessing it's a natural progress of finding some grain that's nice to eat and just testing different ways to prepare it. Eventually someone bashed it with a rock to break it down and figured out if you make a paste with it and water, it will make flatbreads when you cook it

[@-Cinderman]

Tip. Make it with fresh lime juice. It gives it a wonderful tang. It's much better than vinegar.

[@Ty-rz6xy]

Same measurements??

[@DiscoCatsMeow]

@@Ty-rz6xy fresh limes can vary in their acidity. So start with the recipe amount and add more if needed. You will know if the curd splits. Bottled lime juice is more stable. But the fresh tastes better. I love it. I also make a queso fresco with lime juice. If you want to try that use Rick Bayless's recipe on KZbin. It's amazing.

[@loriki8766]

I love this recipe so much. I’ve done this with the siblings, the niblings, and friends. Always such an amazing feeling of "we made CHEESE!"😅 We did the washing/kneading/stretching of the cheese in hot water over the stove, just hot enough to melt the cheese curds, but not hot enough to burn. The more you stretch it, the more of that beautiful "string cheese" effect you can achieve, which is so much fun for eating it as a cold cheese.

[@meversace]

You'll get a better texture if you heat the milk mixture more, then when you strain it it still needs to be hot and then make balls and drop them in very hot water. While they are in the water take one ball at a time out and while still over the water massage the cheese ball dipping it in the hot water every few stretches. Then place the ball in ice water.

This cracks me up! I started out making this... then used Citric acid... Now I do both the hybrid type wit citric and cultures and straight cultures. I warn you once you do the hybrid and add the lipase to make it sharper you are hooked! Cheese making is fun. OH FYI rennet is not JUST from milk drinking calf stomachs it can be veggie rennet and The lovely blue purple thistle tops make a LOVELY cheese rennet as do many other veg sources! Once you start the goats and cows come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@DezMarivette]

Wow thanks for sharing about the thistle tops! Now I’m imagining flower cheese ❤

[@meversace]

I'd like to add that most cheeses bought in the grocery store use GMO rennet made by Pfizer. Sadly they don't have to list it or state it on the store bought cheeses. Homemade is definitely the way to go. Have you tried sheep's milk? I heard it makes wonderful mozzarella.

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

[@OperaJH]

Hi Emmy! I saw just last night that one should put it into some kind of a cheese cloth or nut bag and really spend time squeezing all the liquid out so that it’s basically dry and then it will be exactly like mozzarella. The person doing it also had an error, because he did not squeeze out all the liquid or sufficient liquid. So, he tried again, and voila! he managed to get a perfect mozzarella!

[@cindygrammer645]

A suggestion....I make string cheese and if you work fast enough, no need for your microwave. Also, use heavily salted water to cool the cheese off. When I say heavily, enough salt to float an egg in the water. Happy cheese making!

[@sasuke-td2nf]

I worked at a small cafe and we made ricotta exactly this way! 9/10 times it ended up wrong for the exact reason you had, incorrect temperature. We remade it constantly lol. It’s so great how simple it is once you get it right!!

I used to make a kind of cage cheese like this, but easier- just basically heat the milk and just before it boils, turn off and add lemon juice or vinegar, mix, and strain, mix with salt and pepper to taste and your good to go!🥰 Ratios are pretty free and easy- basically just add enough lemon juice or vinegar to start it “ curdling” - usually a tablespoon for about a liter of milk

[@radzsing]

Thank you for keeping the "bad" batch, showing what can go wrong and how to fix.. As a home cook I really appreciate this.

[@user-tc3zb9uo3p]

Hi. Very interesting. My grandmother made 'Farmers Cheese'. Just processed: heat milk(used goat or cows milk just before spoiled) at 200F add vinegar or lemon juice, strain off. Squeeze thru cloth. Put in bowl add herbs, onion, garlic to taste. Spread on toast in place of butter. Cover refrigerate 1 week. Thanks for demonstration.

[@Howlersmum2]

You can also make a brine for it to sit in to get the salt into the cheese. My mom used to make cheese at home. I’ve made cream cheese, ricotta, and mascarpone cheeses, my mozzarella didn’t turn out so I think I’ll have to try this again! How fun!!!

Keep it on the stove at the correct stable temp during the whole process until all the curds are rendered. Try 185 degrees and red wine vinegar and salt later. Best queso fresco ever.

[@anastasiae.5338]

Thanks for the recipe. I got a gallon of milk in a food box and don't drink milk, so I freezed it in containers. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, because no recipes online didn't require I buy some weird ingredient to solidify the cheese.

Thanks Emmy i always wanted to make cheese but i never remembered to buy rennit so thank you for making it so much earlier for everyone to make rhere own cheese.

[@SeaWasp]

I've definitely curdled milk like that a few times and either made paneer or farmer's cheese (like the old alexfrenchguycooking video), and my folks made it a lot. But to get all the curd out, I bring the milk up to just before it starts to simmer, and then I add prepackaged lemon juice (ie: realemon, or something similar). I add it until I see curd separating from whey. No measurements, and works every time! I've never kneaded it into something pliable, though, so I wonder if temperature effects it. Cool video!
