cheese in shafing dish / Options

[irma]

Dear All,

I was wondering about the following idea, and if someone has
experiences or advice, please let me know>

Since being in the restaurant bussiness for a while, we have a lot of
shaving dishes. I want to use the
2 lower parts of the shafing dishes for " au bain de marie " double
boiling system, since the lower part needs only 1 inch of hot water
and shaving fuel, it will be very warm in no time, controling the temp
is just adjusting the shafing fuel output, the water pans are
stainless steel, and are not expensive. Use one lower pan for the
water (steaming) use the SAME lower part of another shaving dish to
put on top of them, if they fit perfect, put some blocks of wood or
stone in the water pan, so the otherone rest on this, otherwise you
will get into troubles, mines do not fit perfectly so it just what I
am looking for, it goes in only 2 inches, enough to hold the whole
construction save.
Put the milk in the upper part, it will hold easely 3 gallons, place
the fuel, and done ( theorytical )....:))

Why doing this, well in my case I have enought stuff to do this, so I
do not have to buy them, second hand they are also cheap, I was
thinking if buying stanless steel pans, they are pretty expensive, and
a 5 gallon one, has to go in a 6 gallon on to get the double boiler
effect, this will cost a lot of money, since the shaving dishes are
cheap, and stanless steel, this would not be a problem, and it fits 3
gallon, which is a lot for a home cheese maker, IF it is to less, this
construction can be extended with 2 dishes or go up to even 10
whatever you want for volume or production. they are easy to clean,
easy to handle, and in my case 1 have 10 pcs, so I could go up to 30
gallons in one time if desired.

Any suggestions if this would be effective, work etc etc. I think it
will work, but before starting want to know the positive or negative
side of the story from someone who is creazy as me, or has experiences
with this setup :))

Thanks in advance, just trying out ideas for our home makers to get it
easier and cheaper.... which probably is not appreciated by the cheese
maker stores who are also monitoring for sure this newsgroup(s) :))

Many thank
Irma

My mozzarella project has finished, it went perfect in the shafing
dish, 3 gallons, appr 3 lbs Moz., the temp up was easy with the Moz
recipe, you have to
heat it up untill 90 F with 2 shafing dish fuels, after that it has to
go to 100 - 105 easy..., get the curd out let the burners go up to 175
easy too...,
so you canuse the whey for dipping in the Moz balls to knitt them,
they came out perfect, wrap them up in plastic foil, turn the end
around to the curd gets
pressed like a sausage, put them in ice water done.....

it took an hour.. I know some people will tell buy a 5 and a 6 gallon
pan, but this is much easier, and if you got the equipment why not
using them, als shaving dishes are cheap new, second hand even more, I
think it a good solution for the homemaker who want to produce more
then 1 lbs a day if you know what I mean,
also the equipment is " stand alone " no moving you can work in your
garage, like I did , from a big table....
