One that I have used so far is basically a strainer that fits into its own cup. Nowadays, there are other contraptions that do the same thing, and they are easier to handle. I use cheese cloth to drain yogurt for a thicker consistency, or I call it yogurt cheese. So Cheesecloth plays a vital role in product safety! This would then be considered a test failure and the electrical product manufacturer goes back to the drawing board. The presence of cheesecloth strand damage may indicate that sparks were emitted that could cause a fire. When the test is over, the cheesecloth is removed and then very carefully inspected for burnt or charred strands of cloth. When UL tests many electrical products, the product is wrapped in cheesecloth and then the power is applied. We all sleep safely at night because of cheesecloth. We can't forget about Underwriters Laboratories (UL). I knew of culinary uses, but anyone have any idea why a non-culinary-related office might need cheesecloth?

Where can you get it because I have to have it to incubate chickens as a project! Is there an alternative to cheesecloth that we can use if we don't have it?Īlso, does anyone know how to use a cheesecloth to make the Indian cheese paneer? I need to make this cheese for palak paneer, a spinach and cheese dish. After about an hour, the paneer will be ready and you can cut it into cubes for palak paneer. I then put the cheese ball under something heavy so that it becomes more compact and solid. What I do after that is I keep the curd in the cheesecloth but I roll it into a large ball with my hands. Once it has separated, pour it into the cheesecloth so that the water runs out and the curd remains. You will see them separate from one another as the milk continues to boil. When it has boiled, add a couple of spoonfuls of plain yogurt or a tiny amount of vinegar to separate milk into curd and water. October 26, Making paneer is so easy, I do it all the time! I find it funny when people pay extra money to buy Greek yogurt when they can make it at home free. I put plain yogurt in the pillow case, hang the pillow case over the sink and six or so hours later, it's labne.

They are pretty similar and a pillowcase works just as well. October 27, You can use a thin, white pillowcase instead of cheesecloth fabric.
