Strainer Large (6QT) for 3-5 Gallon Batches of Cheese

This is one of the few items I store with other kichen utensils because its pretty handy for straing pasta too. Just remember to sanitize the wire mesh in boiling water for 10-15 mins before each cheesemaking use. 

Here’s the regular sales pitch:

Stop splitting your curds across multiple strainers. This large 6-quart draining basket is perfectly sized to handle curds from 3–5 gallon milk batches, giving you the space needed for proper drainage and consistent results.

Why it works:

* 🧀 Holds full curds from 3–5 gallon makes
* 💧 Fine mesh for fast, even whey drainage
