Tracy in Ky Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It worked beautifully:) Ds kneaded rosemary, sage, and oregano into his. Dd kneaded garlic powder into hers. I ordered the 30 minute mozzarella kit from New England Cheese Making Supply. It was a lot of fun! Here is the link if anyone is interested. http://www.cheesemaking.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Readsalot Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks for sharing how much fun this was. I want to order the kit now. Was it messy at all and about how much do you think the ingredients cost you? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy in Ky Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 The messiest part was pouring the whey off the curds--it ran down my arm and seemed to get everywhere! Lol--but that could just be me; it didn't look that messy on the video when she did it. I ordered the kit which contained the book, the DVD, and the cheese making supplies. Beyond that, my only expense was the milk. I did have a very, very difficult time finding milk that wasn't ultra pasteurized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Readsalot Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I am going to make sure I can find the milk locally before I order the kit. We are in a resort town and don't have the most well stocked groceries stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne in MN Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks for sharing how much fun this was. I want to order the kit now.Was it messy at all and about how much do you think the ingredients cost you? Thanks!! When we ordered the kit a few years ago, it cost $31 (I think) for the kit *and* shipping and handling. It makes thirty batches of 3/4 pound cheese though, so I figured it to be $1 per batch of cheese. It included a thermometer and cheese cloth, though, so a bit less than $1/batch. However, each batch of cheese also requires a gallon of milk, so add that to the cost. The milk is easy to find here. I don't even know where I'd find ultra-pasteurized. So see what's in your area. I don't think it's messy at all. It's hot to the hands when you are mixing, but otherwise, it's very simple, very tasty and lots of fun. My kids love this cheese.

Jenny in Atl Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I see you need a microwave... do you think you could do it w/o one? Yes, we don't own a microwave. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenstet Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I wanted to go to a workshop of hers. Maybe I will just order the kit like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
