Had to give it a try. It is so unbelievably easy! You end up with a lot of whey......if only you had some use for that. My milk got above 120 - so my cheese was more stringy and less curdy. Still, very tasty! Now, if I only had a inexpensive source for milk. 1 gallon made a lot less than I thought it would.....I guess I didn't read the part of the recipe that says that you get 2 cups of cottage cheese. :)
Went to a production of Schoolhouse Rock Jr Live and after the above experience- I'm thinking - Knowledge is power! Even if I never make it again, I know how to make cottage cheese.
