Thanks for the answers.
cbenner33The dimension of the cheese, in this case, was 5.1 inches diameter.
To be honest, I didn`t give enough importance to the first weight, but it makes sense.
The weights presented are the actual weights pressed on the cheese.
ie. 20 lbs. on a cheese with a diameter of 7 inches would need 269.25 lbs, surface area of 38.5 sq inches
I am not sure if I follow this. What do you mean by ‘’20 lbs. on a cheese with a diameter of 7 inches would need 269.25 lbs’’? I use SI units (m, kg…) and probably that is why it does not make sense to me. How did you arrive at 269.25 lbs?
I usually air dry my cheeses for at least one day. So that should not be an issue.
PanamamikeThanks for the table. On the first column. Is that in lbs?
As I said, I am a bit confused by inches, pounds…
