Home cooks learn how to use an Instant Pot or other multicooker to make cheese, including ricotta, goat cheese, paneer, mozzarella, feta, and more. 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. AUTHOR: Claudia Lucero is the author of Instant Pot Cheese, One-Hour Cheese, and One-Hour Dairy-Free Cheese. She is the entrepreneur behind UrbanCheesecraft.com and DIY Cheese Kits, which she sells through Etsy, specialty food shops, and select Whole Foods stores, and she developed the home cheesemaking kits for Williams-Sonoma's Agrarian product line. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
