Title: Curd knife upgrade
Post by: ConnieG on November 19, 2010, 04:28:57 PM
It occurs to me that with a 40 Qt. stock pot on the way, my frosting knife will no longer be long enough to work as a curd knife.  What do you all recommended for the next step up?  I make a wide variety of cheeses for home use.

When I moved up to a 10 US gallon stockpot for my vat I also had to upgrade from my old bread knife as curd cutter knife as it wasn't long enough.

I bought this long spatula (https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,2077.0.html), still takes a few minutes through to make all the cuts. I looked at the curd harps at Glengarry (http://www.glengarrycheesemaking.on.ca/accessories.htm) but plastic one looked a little short for me and metal ones were too long and expensive for my hobby cheesemaking.

John, Perfect!  I'm hoping that is the pot I have coming and so I ordered the spatula too.  Wow, the shipping was more than the spatula.

That was a great thread, BTW
