Can I use this for making cheese? TY

Qien Sabe, As a timer , no, as a temp sensor, maybe. Timer does what it is supposed to do but the timer sound level leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes you can. This thermometer is very flexible and doesn't have all of the "preset" settings like so many others. You can program it easily to give you an alert for the desired temperature. Most versatile thermometer I have owned yet.

Frankly, I wouldn't. I've used this one for many years in the oven and recommend it for that purpose, but it's not 100% accurate and not as sensitive as an alcohol-based glass thermometer for example. For something like cheese-making where a few degrees make a difference, I'd stick with a thermometer with a narrower, but more precise, range.

I haven't tried it on soft cheese, but I don't think it would work very well because the opening is fairly small. I think it would make a mushy mess out of soft cheese, but it does a stellar job on the harder cheeses!

Yes you can. I made cheddar cheese biscuits with it. Little bit of a warning it will be too orange.

I don't really think so for a large quantity. Its great for smaller things like zesting limes and lemons also garlic and ginger. Ive never used it for cheeses.

I have only used it on soft cheese but don't see why it wouldn't work on hard cheese.

Probably could, I have never done cheese with this disc. I have always used my grater disc for doing my grated cheese. Worth a try though. You can't go wrong with any of the Cuisinart discs.

I like the ceramic pot for cheese...the oil heat is too hot for most cheese...you don't want it to stick to bottom...Refer to your instructions again, I'm not home so I can ck mine...this is my preference.....PF

Yes. If you have yogurt. You can strain it with this. I also use it the strain the whey from cheese curds.

I have used it to slice very hard cheese, but soft cheese will not work. The grater blade works well to grate all types of cheese.

I only use it for cheeses. They aren't as hard as carrots , radishes etc. I think it would be s little difficult. Really not made for it.. Great for cheese though

I haven't used it for that but I think you could since I use the lowest setting to melt cheese.

Yes you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)

You can use it for that, but it would be wasteful. If you want cheesecloth for polishing cars, etc., you should get industrial grade which is not as refined as Brighenti Cheesecloth. Brighenti Cheesecloth would be used primarily in the kitchen environment in handling food.

I don't think it is a good idea for cheese unless it is a HARD dry cheese. Anything sticky will plug up the shredder

Mmm I'm not sure, you could use a scale that is tared out to zero with the "guide" of the press, then press to the weight you need and use the same number of turns for your cheese. You can do that if you want to be really exact but I just eyeball it depending on the cheese I'm making. For a hard dry cheese like Parmesan I press to remove as much of the liquid as I can.

Absolutely! We use ours for hot butter for our popcorn machine in our home theater, but it would definitely work just as well for nacho cheese. Since the cheese is denser than the butter I would suggest either warm the cheese up just a bit before putting it in the dispenser, or make sure you give it plenty of time to warm up in the dispenser before you "need" the cheese.

Sorry, I don't know. I use a hand grater for small amounts and a Breville sous chef for large amounts. I would imagine that for sticky cheeses it wouldn't work so well, but why not try it with some cubes of parmesan or other firm cheese?
