Cheese Timer
About the Cheese Timer
This Cheese Timer times rennet sets, curd cooks, stirring intervals, and press stages so fresh mozzarella and aged tommes follow the recipe instead of the clock on the wall. Beginners time thirty-minute rennet sets for ricotta and paneer, mozzarella makers count stretch-and-rest cycles, and hard-cheese pressers step weights up on schedule. Time rennet sets, curd cooks, and press stages for home cheesemaking projects. Write each stage into the label as you go; a cheese log is half the craft.
How to use it
- Open the Cheese Timer page and review the stages your recipe needs from start to finish.
- Set the duration for the first stage and note the later stages from your recipe.
- Label the dish and current stage in the task field before starting.
- Start the countdown when the stage truly begins, such as reaching pressure or a rolling boil.
- When the alarm sounds, confirm the stage is complete, then set the next stage and continue.
Good to know
Start the timer at the moment the recipe means, usually when the water is boiling or the food goes in. Times change with pan size, altitude, and how cold the food was. Stay nearby for the last minute.
