Anyone here tried using this ricotta in place of paneer? It sounds delicious! This recipe looks similar to what Indian recipes call Paneer. Anyone here tried using this ricotta in place of paneer?

Could there be a reason? I used cows milk. I didnt know ricotta could melt. I tried toasting the ricotta I made using lemon juice but it didnt seem to melt like yours in the picture.

Is there a difference in the end product compared to the citric acid? I notice the lemon/vinegar recipes add it at the end after getting the milk hot. Also, my first batch I noticed the curd became large and fast. The second one I did took a while and it was smaller grainy curds. Do you know of a cause for this and which one is more desirable? One recipe even called for some cream but I didnt use it because I wanted to keep it simple (I just used whole milk from the store. Not sure what the reason for the cream was. Hi,

It's lovely! And tasty! And easy to make. We are having stuffed shells this week with homemade tomato sauce. Can't wait to try mozarrela. Made my first batch of Ricotta cheese today. It’s lovely!

Just for clarification, tho....this can be make with cow's milk? I don't have a goat. Well, I don't have a cow either but a gallon of cow's milk from the grocery store would be easier than running down a goat and milking her. Suzanne...you are such an inspiration to everyone!! Look at all the posts here on making cheese...at least half of the people are going to try this now and I'm going to be one of them. Not a big fan of the texture of ricotta but hey....I can tolerate it just to say I MADE IT! This looks amazingly simple! Just for clarification, tho….this can be make with cow’s milk?

May end up with a mess. Purchased some citric acid at my brother's spice company, but that is it. What is cheese salt anyway? Salt? Wish me luck!
