• Jan. 16, 2006 - More Cheesemaking Questions

Boy am I full of questions today!

I am looking to buy individually as someone recommended (instead of a kit), the ingredients for making cheese as well as a cheesemaking DVD, but I dont want to order the DVD and then have to buy the ingredients, I would rather just do it all at once.  I am planning to purchase from The Cheesemaking Company because I love their site!  What I need to know is:

What type of rennet is best?
Do I need cheese salt or will "real salt or celctic salt" do?
Besides a cheese cloth and culture, what else is needed?
Do I need to get a glass pan or is metal ok for cooking it?
I want to make some mozerella first!  I don't like ricotta so may try cottage cheese too!

Any reminders or suggestions?

Thanks

I use Kosher salt. You can buy it anywhere. You need a stailnless steel pot for cheese. They are spendy, but worth the initial cost, as making your own cheese will be a $$ saver as well as a health saver. Those pots will outlast you.
I bought a couple of very nice ones at Walmart, but Costco often has some very ones as well, and I have one from there too. You can get one anywhere they sell kitchen stuff.
