Overview

Instant Pots and other electric pressure cookers are dominating the world of countertop kitchen appliances, for the world of new possibilities their functions have opened to home cooks. Beyond the appeal of “set it and forget it,” the Instant Pot can be used to caramelize onions, boil eggs, steam rice ... and make cheese! Claudia Lucero, author of the best-selling One-Hour Cheese, introduces cheesemaking to a whole new audience: Instant Pot enthusiasts looking for even more ways to use their beloved device. Using a multicooker to make cheese is not only time- and money-saving, but the cooker’s features — from accurate and consistent internal temperatures that are key to cheesemaking success to freeing up stovetop burners and avoiding boil-over and scorched-pot mishaps — make it a convenient and ideal tool for the craft. Instant Pot Cheese presents the basics of the cheesemaking process, then covers a range of recipes for classics such as paneer, ricotta, mild goat cheese, and even easy cottage cheese before delving into quick mozzarella, burrata, string cheese — and even dairy-free alternatives. For multicookers featuring the “Yogurt” function, the options are endless, as Lucero guides them through making fast feta, Honey Lavender Chèvre, and fromage blanc, as well as a range of tangy cultured dairy products including buttermilk, ghee, and sour cream. With Instant Pot Cheese, cooks will feel like they have their own mini dairy facility at home!
