The gym equipment whey makes gains into something you can actually slice.
means A perforated mold or device that squeezes whey out of curdled milk solids, compacting them into a firm, sliceable wheel of cheese.
from Straightforward compound: 'cheese,' from Old English 'cyse,' ultimately tracing back to Latin 'caseus' (cheese); and 'press,' from Old French 'presser' and Latin 'pressare,' meaning to squeeze or push against. No hidden story here — the name describes exactly what the device does, and has for centuries of dairy-making.
- the job
- Squeezes out whey, locks curds into one solid mass
- pressure matters
- Too little force, cheese weeps moisture for weeks
- DIY version
- Bricks and a baking sheet work fine, surprisingly
- skip it entirely
- Soft cheeses like feta never see a press
