Chef's Notes
Do not rush the cooling phase. If your milk is too hot when you add the starter, you will accidentally murder the beneficial bacteria and end up with sad, watery soup.
Pro Tip
If your kitchen is drafty and cold during the winter months, stash your covered pot inside your oven with just the internal oven light turned on to create a warm incubator.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You ignored the temperature check and dumped your starter into boiling hot milk, resulting in a curdled science experiment that tastes like scrambled cottage cheese tragedy.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Setting curd is the ultimate test of patience; itβs basically just watching dairy evolve, which is far more exciting than most of the King's speeches.
The Culinary Science
Lactobacillus bacteria feast on the lactose in milk, converting it into lactic acid. This acid drops the pH and forces the milk proteins to tangle into a solid, gel-like matrix.
