I have been making my own paneer for almost as many years as i have been making Indian food. I started pressing it between two plates, now I have Dutch style cheese press that i use. I make two gallons of milk into paneer every other week or so. I love having paneer in the fridge and being able to make a dish on a whim.

Over the years my my method and presses have changed. My father and sisters are allergic to citrus, so i stopped using lemon juice as my acid and switched to white vinegar.

I am looking to upgrade my cheese molds, i am currently using some for tofu and the amount of pressure i use on the paneer is distorting them. I have good solid round molds, but i much rather the uniformity of square paneer. If anyone has a suggestion for some i would love to upgrade.
