Easiest, Cheapest, Homemade Cheese Press Ever!

Ойын-сауық

We made and tested the Easiest, Cheapest, Homemade Cheese Press Ever! It was time for a proper chees press, not the silly leaning tower of weights that would inevitably fall over in the middle of the night. This super simple design proved to work great, and you can easily make it yourself!

    Rose is a rock star ♥️ I hope you know how rare and amazing your wife is. Her love for you and your children is her heart song and all she needs. That woman works HARD every day WITH a smile that lights up the world. SOOO many women SHOULD take a few lessons from her as a person. Rose you are a fantastic mom, wife and TRULY beautiful soul. The world needs more people like you and your family. Stay safe all. Ever think about doing a COOK BOOK with how to make cheeses, butter, canning & so on? Girl LOTS of people are WANTING this kind of information. I would definitely buy YOUR recipes. ❤

    Happy Easter Jeff and Rose! Great video on a fantastic cheese press that is well thought out and made. In my mind the most elegant solution is the simplest solution. For a long time I have been trying to get people to think of KISS as "Keep It Super Simple". Here you are showing them to do so. Great job.

    My grandmother used to put the cheese in a cheese cloth, and then she would would bring all the corners of the cloth together and twist them together and tie the twist with twine. That was her presser. She would then hang it up in the air, and let it sun dry.
