Question 1

Do you need a cheesecloth with these moulds?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your question.  Using these to make ricotta cheese, chevre and quark you do not need to line them with cheesecloth.  If you are going to make a pressed cheese and add some weight to the top like a square feta cheese mould then yes it is a good idea to line them with cheesecloth.

Question 2

Hi, can these go in a dehydrator?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your question. They are dishwasher safe so they can withstand hot water.  It would depend on your dehydrator temperature.  They should be fine with gentle drying heat but not cooking temperatures.

Question 3

Could these moulds be used to make brie?

Accepted Answer

Great question, they're a bit fast draining for the white mould cheeses like Brie and Camembert and also a little small for a Brie.  Take a look at our set of 3 Hard Cheese moulds - they have fewer holes so drain slower and would be better for making small wheels of Camembert and small Brie style cheeses.

Question 4

Can you use it for vegan hard cheese like Gouda and cheddar ?

Accepted Answer

Great question.  I know I'm the seller but I would say no - these molds are really for softer smaller cheeses.  You need our pack of 3 molds specifically for blue and hard cheeses - they are made of firmer material that can take weights and would be better for making vegan hard cheeses.  There are two small molds and one large in the pack.  We use the small ones for making vegan cashew blue cheeses and the large one we use for dairy cheddar and Gouda. They are sturdy enough to add gym weights to the top of to press your cheeses.
