Details

Heavy-Duty Base: Constructed from high-quality steel with a durable finish, the base is rust-proof and designed for maximum stability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring that your press remains secure during use.

Outlet: Equipped with a convenient outlet, this press allows for easy collection of whey, juice etc.,  making your DIY process cleaner and more efficient.

Here's what to look for during the pressing process:

Initial Whey Release: In the first few minutes of pressing, you should see a steady stream of whey flowing from the cheese. This whey should be clear or slightly milky in color. If it is very cloudy or white, it might indicate that curds are being pressed out along with the whey, which could mean the press is applying too much pressure too soon.

Gradual Reduction in Whey Flow: As pressing continues, the flow of whey should gradually slow down. After about 10-20 minutes, you should see a more intermittent drip rather than a continuous stream. If whey stops flowing too quickly, you might not be applying enough pressure.

Final Press: After a few hours of pressing (depending on the cheese type), the whey should just drip slowly or stop altogether. At this point, the cheese should feel firmer and have a uniform shape. If the whey is still flowing steadily after several hours, you might need to adjust the pressure or the duration of pressing.

Texture and Appearance of the Cheese: During pressing, the cheese curds should knit together to form a smooth surface without visible cracks. If the curds seem to be separating or the cheese is crumbly, you might not be applying enough pressure. Conversely, if the cheese is overly compact and rubbery, you might be applying too much pressure.

In summary, a proper press should result in a steady, clear whey release that slows to a gradual drip. If the whey is cloudy, stops too soon, or flows too long, consider adjusting the pressure or pressing duration.
