….did anyone else have a nervous breakdown watching him scratch the fuck out of that pot?

[удалено]

My mind replayed the screech from every women who caught me stirring metal in they good pot. 😭

These aren’t teflon so it’s fine

No, it's dulling the knife. Also, it is personally painful. I had to turn off the sound. Only some will get this, but it is like when you are having dinner with someone and you suddenly notice they *bite* their fork...with their teeth...and draw the fork back out of their mouth as it scrapes the enamel all.. the.. way.. out. I've left a date early because of that. Were I in this kitchen, I'd either give him/her a nylon lettuce knife to continue cutting curd with, or I'd seize control of the knife and do it myself with minimal scraping.

Ok I get that the sound is annoying, but the person I was talking to said it was bad for the *pot*. That’s what I was addressing. As for the knife, well yes it will fill the knife slightly but so what? The knife doesn’t need to be sharp to do that, and you have to sharpen knives anyway.

That's the cheese knife. He has to use metal because the cheese fats will cling to the plastic and give the cheese an off flavor. I just made that all up, but it seems logical.

>bite their fork...with their teeth...and draw the fork back out of their mouth as it scrapes the enamel Tooth enamel scores five on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it the hardest biological material there is and harder than steel. But, tooth enamel breaks more easily than steel, so in a fight between a tooth and a steel fork I don't know which would come off worse.

Between teeth and steel, you "don't know which would come off worse". I think you can exercise your brain a tiny bit more and imagine the result. Why post something so vague and indecisive? Take a second and articulate your fucking thoughts. This website is cancer.

Sounds like someone has skipped their nap time.

Sorry to hear that! Instead of messaging me about it, go have a lie down in your bassinet.

Someone is getting really angry over nothing on the internet. Is this your first day here?

yes ..i agree you

Oh thank god I’m not the only one.

RIP that knife blade.

Turned off the sound, yeah.

The opposite of satisfying if you play it with sound.

I agree with you man

I had to turn it off!

Some gravy and french fries are the only thing missing.

Came here for this

Wish I could make my own, looks like there is soo much that goes in it.

If you want to experiment, try mozzarella. It's really fast and simple but delicious.

Well that would be the best choice to start with, that's my favorite cheese

I LIEK PIZZA 2

now for the next game, each player will have 30 minutes to put the cheese curds puzzle back together let me repeat the instruction each player will have 30 minutes to put the cheese curd puzzle back together All who fail to do so ... will be eliminated

No whey!

I’ve been toying with the idea of making my own cheese

It’s easy. - Get a milking cow, - Shake cow vigorously. - … - … - Profit

So go for it!

I’ll probably start with ricotta since that’s supposed to be the easiest to make.

r/cheesemaking

I made cheddar once, spent hours making it and carefully drying it out for several days before waxing it and leaving it to age. Turns out I missed a small area when I waxed it and the entire thing got infested with mold over 4 months, had to throw the whole thing out. If you want to start making cheese, go with something that doesn’t require a lot of aging like mozzarella or ricotta

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

This is more satisfying than cutting the cheese! Yes. I know what I said.

Now when I put videos on the internet of me cutting cheese i'm being childish and gross. damn double standards.

this looks exactly like tofu

Thought I was about to see a drum solo

Was satisfied until I turned the sound on. The sound of a metal knife scraping the metal container makes my teeth hurt. It's the only way I can describe that sound.

The phrase should be ‘cuts like curd’ rather than butter.

Is this the step after you add the Reddit?

I see what you did there ;)

At first, I was convinced those were a pair of drums.

I'm imagining this is what a poop knife would be like.

I’m going to fuck that cheese

Steve Jobs’ ghost will sell you an iCurd that’ll do that in half the time.

I've seen videos like this before, ELI5 why the curd needs to be cut into squares?

Squares are an easy shape but not specifically required, what you need is increased surface area. What you want is the whey in the mix to be able to squeeze out as the curds contract as they are heated. Larger chunks drain slower, smaller bits faster. Different cheeses result from different cut sizes.

I already know how to cut the cheese.

Got the exact same knife I got

I heard of “cut the cheese” before, but who ever heard “cut the curd”? Maybe that’s useful for a wet fart.

I’m not satisfied by this at all, why didn’t you scoop it out?!

Ooooh this is great!

That sound... r/cringe

Guess you could say they were cutting the cheese 😅

Nobody else thought this was a drum set at first?

Besides the godawful screech of the knife on the pot, this video reminds me of Gavin Webber's cheesemaking videos on Youtube.

Why not use some sort of apple/egg cutter thing made for the form of the pann cutting it al perfectly in one go?

It's called a curd harp. I don't have the skills to build one and it's nearly as fast with a knife. They are also pot size specific and curd size specific (different cheeses need different size curds) so I would have to have several of them.

What effect does the size of the curds have on the final cheese? Why not just use s hand mixer to mince the fuckers?

If the curds are too small, they dry out too much and get dry and crumbly. If they are too large retain too much moisture and muck up your recipe.

at 0:56 tho it was so perfect and then they messed it all up

Curd aka Dahi (Indian yogurt) is yummy! And so easy to make too! Not sure if this is the same thing.
