Curd Nerds rejoice! I have made a quick Mozzarella video tutorial.
It has been a while since I put a cheese-making video together, so as I was making mozzarella on last night for pizzas in the Cob oven tonight, I thought I should document it. It took just over 45 minutes to make due to filming every step, but it worked out well.
Update: Since its initial production I have improved this tutorial with a voiceover and updated recipe. Click through to the new Mozzarella video tutorial page.

17/10/2012 at 18:49thank you for your videos, recipes, and general awesomeness. I have a question about making this cheese. I have tried twice will ill effects. I think that I do need to add more rennet- like you found in your class- but when I get to the microwave steps I can drain the whey before microwaving but as soon as I do 1 minute the curd becomes too soft to drain, and basically becomes liquid when I do the 30 second ones. The first fail I used regular whole milk (161 F pasteurized) that we then flavored and put on pasta. Thing is when I reheated the pasta for lunch I have this neat stringy cheese on it almost like mozz. Both times I have gotten this soupy mess at the microwave stage. any thoughts? Thanks again.
