Instant Pot Cheese by Claudia Lucero

Book Description
The beloved Instant Pot can be used to do just about anything: caramelize onions, boil eggs, steam rice . . . and now, make cheese! Cheesemaking in a multicooker is not only time- and money-saving, but the cooker’s accurate and consistent temperatures make it an ideal tool for the craft. Claudia Lucero, author of the best-selling One-Hour Cheese, presents the cheesemaking basics, then covers classics such as paneer, ricotta, goat cheese, and easy cottage cheese before introducing more sophisticated options like burrata and feta, and even dairy-free alternatives. For multicookers with a “Yogurt” function, there are recipes for cultured dairy products such as buttermilk, ghee, and sour cream, too.
My Review

This is a wonderful book for anyone interested in making cheese. This book starts out with some good info on cheese making basics, how to use the Instant Pot for projects like this, the tools needed, etc. And I feel like most of the smaller tools it calls for are basic items that most people probably already have in their kitchens. Which makes trying out cheese making very simple as long as you have an Instant Pot.

I am also very excited about the recipes in this book. They are written in a very simple step by step format. And include a lot of amazing types of cheeses. Like mozzarella, feta, paneer, string cheese, cottage cheese, mascarpone, and even things like sour cream, yogurt, and ghee. Plus it even includes some great looking dairy-free alternatives. Including a delicious looking cheddar 'n' chives wheel and a pepper jack block, both of which are sliceable. Making them a great option for grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, etc. And I must say that the coconut milk yogurt looked really interesting as well. The list could simply go on and on, because there is a very nice variety of recipes. 

If you have ever wanted to try making cheese, but thought it might be to hard to get started, I highly recommend this book. It makes cheese making look like a simple and straightforward process.

I received this book free through NetGalley from Storey Publishing for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
