looking for draining and flipping ideas/rigs

[NCBaker]

Would you please share your setup for draining and flipping?  Thinking of rigging a setup that makes flipping a safer procedure.  Had some cheese stick and slide out partly out of the mold during a flip.

Thanks

I am thinking of trying this, after having the same problems you are!

The Camembert moulds which I bought have a solid bottom which requires a different approach to that normally used with the open-ended hoops. I use cloths, take the cheese out of mould in the cloth, turn it, re-wrap it in the cloth and put it back in the mould. You need to be gentle, particularly for the first one or two turns, but I haven't had any problems. I can't see any reason why you couldn't use cloths with the open-ended hoops too.
(I am assuming that your concern relates to Camemberts or something similar.)

Check out Mals setup for his whites.  He's Ozziecheese on here.

I use molds with a bottom for my cams as well - not the proper or ideal setup, but here's how I make it work: For the first flip, I hold some plastic mesh over the top of the mold, and turn the whole thing over onto the mesh; then just slide it off my hand back onto the tray so that the mesh and mold stay together. For the second flip, I just turn it back right side up. And from then on, the cheese has firmed up enough that I can turn it out onto one hand, turn it over onto the other hand, put the mold back over the cheese, and turn it right side up -- takes way longer to type it than it does to do it!
