Grand Way Cheese Making Kit – Cheese Mold 2L with a Follower Press – Cheesemaking Supplies – Сheese Form with Press – Paneer Maker – Cheese Set for Hard Cheese

was very tight, had to modify slightly to get results i needed

It is really sturdy. I gave it 4 stars because it has just 4 holes to drain the whey. I made on it several holes without problems because the material is really strong. I will buy another one. It is worth the money.

Shape is great, nice size, but not enough holes! Had to add quite a few more!

Very nicely salid made press. The follower is a smooth yet tight "seal". What I like is that the underside of the follower has the same rounding than the bottom of the mold.

This is s sturdy mold in a useful diameter and height. As others have noted, though, it has two significant design flaws: - It has far too few holes in the bottom, and none in the sides. - The fit between the perimeter of the follower and the interior of the mold is much too tight. I modified mine by: - adding many more holes in the bottom (and will do the same on the sides). I used an electric drill with twist-point bit ('metal bit') of a diameter close to that of the existing home; one could probably also use a nail held in locking jaw pliers and heated in the flame of a gas burner, propane torch, etc. - very carefully sanding the perimeter of the follower until it slid smoothly down the mold, but was still as snug as possible. I used a belt sander laid on its side and gently taking small strokes around the perimeter. After doing that, the mold works fine. I particularly like the sturdiness of both the mold and the follower, which can take the higher weight/pressure needed for certain cheeses.
