Does anyone know of any source for a form known as qwieleb designed for making a Maltese cheese called gbejna (pl: gbejniet) or is there a "hack" for this form? The cheese seems quite easy to make but being able to drain the whey effectively is the real challenge. I experimented with some plastic disposable cups that I had punched holes into but that did not adequately allow the whey to drain - and you need about 15 or 20 molds for the curds that are produced by one gallon of milk. The forms are like small plastic baskets. Thanks
I would think any small basket type mold would work fine. Just go by the diameter you need.
Thanks Duntov. I think I may have just found something at Get Culture. They have small baskets that have a 1.5 inch diameter at the top and 1.75 at the base (?) and a 2 inch height - which is pretty close to what I was looking for
I found some small plastic pots that are used in hydroponics. They come in a variety of sizes.
These are similar to what I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UZ0Q4TG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UZ0Q4TG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

These look great. Thanks.
