@dangracia46112 ай бұрын
So I made this day before yesterday and I'm not sure if I did it right. After separating the curds out, I kneaded it for about 5-minutes because I wanted it a little more firm and not so crumbly. Then I molded using a cheese mold I already had wrapped it in parchment paper and then plastic wrap. Was supposedly done at 8PM that night but I left it in the fridge overnight. Next day I pulled it out and cut a slice. Taste was great and it wasn't very crumbly at all. After eating a little bit of it I put about a 1½" square in a ramekin and put it in the microwave to melt it for one minute. Didn't melt. Ran it another minute and it still didn't melt. Tried 30 seconds more and I could still see the top of it peeking out of the Ramekin. I pulled it out of the microwave and let it sit for a minute or so and picked it up. It was pretty light but hard like a sugar cube. I scraped a bit of it off and tasted it. It was still fine but would probably break my teeth If I tried to bite through it. So it didn't melt at all but rather, all the liquid evaporated from that piece. I was hoping to use it to stuff some Hatch Peppers for Chili Rellenos but that won't work if it won't melt. Any idea what I might have done wrong? I'll still slice and eat it but doubt that it will melt because it wouldn't melt in the microwave. Was also looking forward to using it on nachos.
