I have been looking at the Tome Molds that Dairy Connection carries that have been discussed elsewhere on this forum. I understand that the smaller mold - 7.5 x 7.0 x 3.5 inches has an issue with the follower will not travel the full depth of the mold. So, I was debating getting the larger 8 x 8 x 6 inches mold.
Currently, the most I can handle with my pot is 4 gallons of milk I wondering which size is appropriate.
Thanks for the help
The smaller mold can handle 4 gallons, depending on your yield, but doesn't give you much wiggle room. I would go with the larger one.
I agree with Sailor. I have use that mold and 4 gallons is about the maximum it will handle. It would handle a 4 gallon Parmesan or Romano no problem because of the lower volume of curd produced. If you were making a Wenslydale or similar style it would not be big enough.
