Travel to Italy right from your kitchen! Whip up your own fresh mozzarella for Caprese salad and homemade ricotta for lasagna, or just enjoy both as protein-rich snacks. Bonus farmers' cheese makes it easy to dive in with a mini 20-minute batch of fresh cheese anytime. Try them all, or just make all mozzarella; you will have everything you need, whatever you choose.
The Mozzarella, Ricotta, and Farmers Cheese Kit include:
What you need: Simply add milk and basic kitchen equipment (pot, colander, spoon, measuring utensils). Follow the instructions, and in one hour or less, you will be eating and sharing homemade, all-natural mozzarella, ricotta, or a simple farmers' cheese! Pasteurized store-bought milk or raw farm-fresh milk both work. Make sure your store-bought milk is not ultra-pasteurized or UHT, ultra-heat pasteurized.
Dietary guidelines: This kit is gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly.
Quantity: Kit makes four batches of cheese. A batch is about 1- 1.5 lbs. You'll have plenty of supplies to experiment with different herbs, shapes, and recipes.
Shelf life: 2 years at room temp. with an additional three years when rennet tablets are stored in a freezer after purchase.
Food Safety and Allergens: The kits and supplies are assembled in a licensed facility that strictly follows the Department of Agriculture cleaning guidelines. The food items are all gluten-free but packaged in a room where wheat, soy, corn, nuts, and other food allergens may be processed.
With its handsome, natural bamboo accents and its durable stainless steel grating surfaces, this 12-inch box grater is the perfect addition to any kitchen. Tough, durable and lightweight, bamboo is a natural in the kitchen. One of nature's most sustainable resources, bamboo is stronger than oak and reaches maturity in just four years — without pesticides. Bamboo's density makes it naturally water-resistant, which inhibits germs and bacteria. It won't scratch your pans like metal and doesn't absorb moisture like conventional wood. Though used like timber, bamboo is a grass that self-propagates as it spreads underground via a network of rhizomes. A white oak tree takes 120 years to grow to maturity; bamboo takes three-and-a-half to seven years. This self-regenerating plant grows without pesticides and needs very little water; some species grow as much as 3 feet a day. Because of its fast growth rate, bamboo sequesters carbon dioxide at faster rates than hardwood trees — another bonus for the environment. Stainless steel does not leach chemicals. The stainless steel used is 93 percent recycled. The grade of the stainless steel used is 18.8. The editors at Mother Earth Living have selected this and other stainless steel and bamboo cooking utensils because they are durable, safe and environmentally friendly. Care instructions: Hand wash only. Manufactured in China.
