I purchased this kit because I wanted to make mozzarella (obviously) and was pricing the individual ingredients separately. With shipping the ingredients would cost more than this kit which shipped Prime, at no shipping cost. Seemed like a no-brainer to me.

My first experience with making mozzarella using the kits instructions and following them exactly led to a bad experience. All the curds were just tiny slivers and I had to give up following the instructions, drain them with a sieve, then try to form them into balls. While the cheese tasted good, making it was not a good experience.

So I turned to the Internet and found other instructions. The main difference being instead of "vigorously" stirring the mix while bringing it up to temp, you stir it very gently as you very slowly bring it up to temp. Stirring only enough to keep the milk from burning at the bottom. The second major difference is the 5 minute wait period in the kits instructions. The... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh sweet morsels of sour milk, November 18, 2006

We had this kit sent to us while serving in the Peace Corps in Bangladesh, a place not known for its cheese. Mind you, I had dysentary and lost 20 lbs over 2 weeks (effective diet though I wouldn't recommend it). It made great raw cheese and I regained some of the poundage. ! Keep in mind that it is an art form so people that complain that its too hard or too soft normally have little experience. Once you get it right, its easy.

In terms of using the cheese for cooking, most Americans are used to using packaged cheese to make things like pizza. Fresh moz gives you a different texture that takes form getting used to; now I prefer it to every chain except Papa Johns (I have no idea why).

I will say that in order to make the best cheese, you need to have tough hands. After you get curds you have to super heat them and then knead. Instructions say to use spoons but for best results, I've found quick and senseless hands give smooth and creamy goodness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making cheese has changed my life!, September 22, 2006

Oh my goodness!

I called all of my friends. I can't believe it! I make my own cheese. It's so fast and so much fun and I can add all sorts of stuff to it. The key is the amount of time and the temp. at which you knead it. If you knead too long, it's more like regular mozzarella, (not the fresh kind) but still delicious. If you knead just the right amount of time, it's less dense and more like fresh mozzarella.

Seriously, you gotta make your own cheese. Who knew it was this easy.

I LOVE IT!
