I have to say - this was the worst one I've ever screwed up on.

Oh my god.

Patreon Only - Making Cheese (???)

Comments

That was great, put a smile on my face! I still think you should do cheese making for best buds & if we’re allowed a vote, I say halloumi, yum! But maybe buy yourself a slotted spoon beforehand 🤔😄

I can feel the disappointment; I've been there myself. We definitely need to see you succeed at this. Get yourself some measuring spoons. It might also help to know that 1ml of water weighs 1g so it is easier to weigh it than try to eyeball it, assuming you've got scales...

Also been whiling away the hours playing Two Point Hospital in my pajamas! How far have you got? I'm just starting Smogley - I don't like moving on until I've hit 2-stars though.

Malcolm Lawrence

Wow, if each cheese takes that much milk you'd better be hiring a tanker Alanna. That said, I've always fancied making my own cheese so having you iron out a few of the wrinkles would be great! Happy New Year!!

Arthur Gatward

What type of milk did you use? I think you need full fat milk to make cheese with.

Adventures and Naps

I've just gotten to the hospital where you don't make any money, it's so hard!! I only move on when I get 3 stars because I have no life and time is meaningless.

Aaron Conway

Great video, thanks for making it! Also, congrats on your video reaching 1 million views!!!!! Hope you had a nice new year's!

Holger Steinwedel

Maybe consider getting a cow. It seems you will need a lot of milk! 😊 And fresh milk probably works better too!

Stuart Summers

I agree with other folks comments, I think you need full-fat milk to make cheese (it gives a much higher yield). Your videos just brighten up the day, thanks for making them. 😉 Wishing you health, happiness and success this year.

Dr Philip J Naylor

I suspect that cheese making is more like organic chemistry than cooking, so a lot harder to eyeball. Also 2.27l of milk is half a gallon, so you're going to need a bigger pot, or halve all the quantities.

Steve Mikre

While watching this episode I was wondering (no offense to Chef Alanna) does the A&N Kitchen have a fire extinguisher at the ready off camera?

Ian Jackson

the gallon of milk in my refrigerator says it is 3.78 liters

Sarah Hogg

Thanks for the video and I hope you have a happy new year, I look forward to seeing you make more cheese in future

How can you make cheese without renit? Never new citric acid could be used as a substitute. This is my first Patreon video.

I'd measure the cheese salt exactly too. Basically as per Dr Naylor above: follow the instructions like it is a science exam and I'm sure you will nail it next time. Cheese is, I think, a one third fat product. Full milk (blue top) is about 3.5% and semi-skimmed is 1.7%. So if I wanted to make a 35% fat product, I expect it would be twice as quick and easy with a 3.5% fat product than a 1.7% one (sorry to repeat the call for full milk).

Wayne Thurston

Never going to work with skimmed milk, the one time when more fat is better.

David Powell

Oh no! I've had cooking disasters like that 😭 When they said that you can use any type of milk, they might have meant cow's, goat's or ewe's milk rather than full fat, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk. Never tried making cheese myself, but with so many artisan cheese makers in Wales, why would I 😉

Brett Carruthers

Time to send this to the cheese fail compilation channels on youtube lol.

jillian b

Oh no!! Looking forward to the next cheese attempt.

William Seabrook

Thank you for your bravery in doing this live! Now, I want to try it for myself. Did you use whole milk? Some recipes even call for adding some heavy cream to the milk, because the cheese is 30% butterfat when it is finished. Delicious to think about!

The Raven

I’m with one of the other commenters, check out Gavin Webber’s channel for all the cheese making you could ever want. I think he shows at least two ways to make mozzarella. One is “the easy way”. None looks easy to me.

Steven Parkes

Alanna - I have to say, how can you LIVE without owning a single teaspoon? I have a whole compartment full of them in my cutlery drawer! How do you stir your tea or coffee without one? Alternatively - a sundae-spoon is the same-size bowl with a longer handle to it! As a last resort - a 5ml medicine spoon is roughly the same capacity! Come on now - get yourself the equipment, including a slotted or straining-spoon!!
