Mad Millie Cheese Press

This is included in the Artisan Cheese Kit. Used for pressing your homemade hard cheeses in an accurate and reliable manner. It is made from a special food-grade plastic that is easily cleaned and does not absorb bacteria. It comes with a 2 L hard cheese mould, fitting curds from 6 L of milk, a press and pressure gauge.

Use Instructions:

1. Scoop the curds into the mould.
2. Place the disk/pressing plate on top of the curds, flat side up. Fold the muslin cloth on top of the disk, making sure it is clear of the screw.
3. Place the top of the press on top of the mould – twist the lid so that the lid locks into the mould.
4. Start screwing the knob in order to get the metal rod to put pressure on the pressing disk. The scale will pop up and indicate how much pressure is being applied to the cheese. Refer to your recipe for the amount of pressure that needs to be applied – this varies between recipes and see the guide below for how this is represented on the scale
