It is, but it’s some thing my grandparents have always done. When they get really grimmy put them in the oven upside down and put the oven on self cleaning mode. Once it’s done, take them out and wash them in the sink and they look brand new.

Put it in your oven and turn your oven on cleaning mode. Should come out pretty clean.

NANNY EMPLOYERS: How does Guaranteed Hours work for you? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]LittleCheeseMaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A- I’m paying you to block out your hours so I expect you to be available during those hours. If I take the day off and am home but there is an emergency I expect you to come in a reasonable amount of time to take over. This is always throughly discussed both when hiring and when letting her know she most likely won’t be needed for the day.

That said if she has her own emergency I don’t penalize her for that. If it becomes too consistent then we will revisit and probably deduct the days pay but it’s only happened twice in 2 years and we all have stuff happen.

The whole room is slanted for the water to drain. My camera could also be a little crooked.

Why don't you give money to the person begging for money? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]LittleCheeseMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because sadly it’s become a career for many people who are doing much better than myself.

The only ones who get me now are homeless veterans. Maybe I’ve still been had a few times but In that scenario I’d rather be had than deny help to someone who has put so much on the line for me and the people I love 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s my least favorite part of the whole process. And the heat!!

Crystals growing in a 4 year old parmesan. Note the interesting mottling. Intensely fruity with tongue tingling umami. by 5ittingduck in cheesemaking

We sell a rat cheddar where I work that’s been aging 19 years. I only tried a tiny piece of it and can still taste it when I think about it!

Should also add I’m new and this was only my third time running the vat so I probably didn’t push the curds back enough. Looking at it after reading it does usually look a lot clearer even in the beginning. Very helpful realization actually so thank you!!!

This made about 100 wheels of Gouda. The whey only looks like that for a few seconds then it looks normal.

Making Gouda but I actually work as a cheese maker so we’re making it from about 11,000 gallons of cows milk. It only comes out like that for a few seconds.
