It is particularly useful as it doubles up not only as a [[fruit]] press but also for [[cheese]]. You can also press [[terrines]].<br /> <br /> The press has an aluminium frame and a stainless steel inner container, which can be used as a [[cheese mould]]. However, it is recommended that you use a separate plastic mould and Ascott&#039;s largest hard [[cheese mould]] fits perfectly into the larger of the two presses. You can, of course, use smaller moulds if you wish. It is not suitable for use with soft [[cheese mould|cheese moulds]] as they cannot withstand the pressure of the press.<br /> <br /> At the moment, I am trying to establish how much [[milk]] is needed to make a [[cheese]] which will fill the largest mould. I started by using just 6.5 litres of milk and the resulting [[cheese]] is only 2 cm high, although it has a diameter of 18 cm (see top right). The mould is 15 cm high, so I would estimate that about 45 litres of [[milk]] would be required to make a big [[cheese]].<br /> <br /> This obviously requires access to a saucepan large enough to take that quantity of [[milk]] and at the moment, I am awaiting delivery of a 20 litre saucepan so will update this page when I have made my next [[cheese]].<br /> &lt;gallery widths=300px heights=300px perrow=5&gt;<br /> Image:Discoid Caephilly.jpg|Discoid Caephilly made with 6.5 litres of milk<br /> Image:Terrine pressed in a cheese press.jpg|Terrine pressed in the cheese press<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Tools]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/cheese|#cheese]] [[Special:Search/ascottpress|#ascottpress]] [[Special:Search/cheesemould|#cheesemould]] [[Special:Search/tools|#tools]] [[Special:Search/terrines|#terrines]] [[Special:Search/fruit|#fruit]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
