Here we will discuss about the basic tips of making an ordinary cheese at your home. This homemade cheese requires simple and easy ingredients to complete the cheese.
Boiling process- First, collect the required amount of pure cow/goat/sheep milk. Make sure that the milk is fresh and free from any acidic effect. Once the milk is collected, now pour it in a cleaned pan. Now place the pan on the gas burner. If you are in a hurry, then you can opt for the micro oven. Here you need to fix a particular temperature and time for boiling the milk. If you carry on the process in oven then you need to use special fire protected bowel. Here you need to boil the milk for a long time and to kill the pasteurized it properly. Through this, the germs that are present inside the milk will be removed from the milk.
Use products for acidic function- Once the pasteurization process is complete then add required vinegar. This pouring of vinegar will help to clot the milk and to separate the milk and water. If you do not prefer the vinegar for being a chemically formed product, then you can use lemon for the task. This use of lemon will function the same way, as you will find with the vinegar. Here you may use 3-4 vinegar as per requirement. If you do separate the solid part of the milk from the water, then you cannot form the cheese properly.
Drain out moisture-Once the clotting is complete, then take a clean cloth and keep the clotted milk on the cloth. Now wrap the cloth and press the cloth from outside. Now the excess water or moisture will be drained out from the milk. Now the leave the dry milk wrapped cloth for few days and wait to remove the last drop of moisture from it. Once you get the dry up milk, they take the milk on a square shaped clean cloth. Now place the milk on it and give a shape to the cloth. Now once you are done with the process of shaping the products now refrigerate the piece of cloth and the dry up milk for few days. After few days bring out the milk wrapped cloth from the refrigerator and place it on a platter. Here you can add some nuts, cream and the favourite flavour on the cheese. You can use toothpicks here to prick the surface of the cheese and to place the cream, small nuts and flavours in the newly baked cheese. Once you complete the process taste your homemade cheese and serve it to the customers.
