while search WWW for an answer to my vinegar question i found this

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/02/how-to-make-fresh-ricotta-fast-easy-homemade-cheese-the-food-lab-recipe.html

So i just had to make some, and  really its   ready in 5mins

i did have a taste last night and it was ok

if anyone gives it ago, can i recommend to use less vinegar and not to drain overnight

would i make it again yes, i would but only for cooking

Does it taste the same as Helene's Uni? You mean cooking as in cheesecakes, gnocchi etc - what other way is there to use ricotta   Even though Helene's tasted great, I wouldn't sit down and eat it for a meal. To me ricotta is just one of the ingredients in a cooked dish but then I am not Italian

sorry JD i meant to say only for savory dishes like lasagne, cannelloni, crepes, fritta and pasta

i have it on toast with jam or nutella  or i make a mix and stuff cannoli shells, you can top it with honey

i made helenes ricotta  yesterday i really think it does not have enough vinegar, i think its not enough, i did add more vinegar and got a better result

taste wise helens is much better if eating it fresh

[judydawn]

Thanks Uni, how much extra vinegar did you add to Helenes?  It might make it too bitter for my taste, I thought it was perfect but you know better than me.

i just poured some in not sure JD

i got about 380 grams of ricotta and the whey was clear not milky if u know what i mean 

[judydawn]

Yes I know what you mean Uni.

[fundj&e]

you get me JD

Doesnt the vinegar help to keep the cheese or curds together and also make it creamier .. Hence the whey is clearer and not so milky?
