8 best cheese makers

Cheese-making can be both a useful hobby and a matter of a lifetime. And for him to pick up the appropriate equipment. A cheese factory is a device capable of providing delicious and, importantly, safe cheese to the whole family. She can cook tens of kilograms of milk product at a time. And still many models are able to make another “milk”: kefir, cream, airan and so on.

With the right selection, the cheese factory can work for many years and provide the owner with a tasty and useful product. And it does not have to be changed, because good cheese factories do not become obsolete - unless you decide to retrain from home cheese-maker to a producer of home-made dairy products.

How to choose a cheese factory

High-quality cheese factory should not only be convenient and reliable. It is also required to meet safety requirements and have functions that can facilitate the manufacture of the product. When choosing a cheese factory, we recommend paying attention to the following parameters and additional features:

1. Volume cheese factory. The parameter that determines the maximum amount of cooked product. It depends on how you prepare the cheese - for example, to make a kilogram of parmesan you need to spend 16 liters of milk. Focus on your requests, but always take a cheese factory with a stock.
2. Body material. It is desirable that the device was made of food stainless steel. This material is the most safe, convenient in storage and operation. It is worth noting the durability of stainless steel models - they will be able to please you for a long time with fresh homemade cheese.
3. Equipment. When buying, be sure to look for the model to have a water jacket for cooking the product. It will be convenient if special tools are included with the cheese dresser - at least several cheese molds, hoses for connecting the device to the water jacket and measuring devices. Ideal if the kit will be a press for squeezing excess moisture and giving the cheese hardness and shape.
4. Temperature. Ideally, a cheese factory should have a temperature control unit that independently regulates the temperature inside the boiler. This function is especially important for those who are not quite good at cheese making - it allows them not to overheat / underheat the mass.
5. Timer. It complements the temperature control unit, allowing the cheese-maker to orient in time and set the desired cheese aging period. Convenient in that it independently regulates the cooking process.
6. Kranik. It is necessary to drain excess liquid, which significantly facilitates the process of cheese making.
7. Availability of heating elements. It is best to take a cheese factory, which has its own heating element. This will allow you to not depend on the type of plate and use a lot of additional functions (temperature adjustment, timer, and so on).
8. Plate compatibility. If you buy a cheese factory without heating elements, then you need to ensure that it is compatible with the type of your cooker. Some models cannot work, for example, on induction cookers.

Paying attention to these features of cheese making, you can choose the most suitable and convenient model in your case. And not only for the home, but also for the small business of making homemade cheese.

The best cheese factories for the home

Bergmann 12

Rating: 4.9

Objectively, the best in our rating is cheese-makers - Bergmann model with a volume of 12 liters. Despite its small size, it is ideal for those who like to cook delicious cheese for family and friends, as it produces up to 1.3 kilograms of the finished product. The model is semi-automatic - there is a temperature control unit and a timer that will not allow the milk to overheat during the cooking process. It is heated by heating elements up to 2 kW, which will ensure uniform and high-quality heating of the water jacket.

According to the specifications, the cheese factory is capable of producing up to 1.3 kg of the finished product - but this applies to hard cheeses. Soft varieties (and even more melted) will be larger in volume. In addition to the main function, it can also pasteurize milk. The kit includes a form for cheese, a kit for connecting to a water jacket, a special form for cheese, and even consumables — calcium chloride and rennet.

Tremasova

Rating: 4.8

The Tremasov automatic cheese factory is ideal for home-made lazy cheese making. Cheese factories of the brand can be equipped with boilers with a volume from 3.5 to 5000 liters, which will allow you to choose the device to fit your needs. Feature of the model - in automation. The device does not require monitoring - just pour the milk and select the product. In the head part there is an engine for an automatic mixer capable of independently changing the angle and speed of rotation depending on the program.

Conventional cheese factory implies TEN, working from standard 220 watts. Complete with it is everything you need to make a delicious cheese. I am glad that in addition to the forms for cheese, skimmers and paddles, you can get a complete set of cheese-makers - gloves, elbow pieces, knives and even a full-fledged press. In the maximum modification, the model will easily cope not only with cheese making, but also with the creation of butter, mayonnaise, cream, airan, and so on.

Bielmeier 29

Rating: 4.8

Large and convenient cheese dairy of 29 liters for lovers of homemade cheese. German quality is manifested in a perfectly assembled case, high-quality parts and precise electronics. The thermostat is installed in the case, which allows to regulate the temperature. In some embodiments, there is even an LED screen with detailed information about the cycle. Bowl after cooking cheese can be quickly removed and washed.

The model has a heater to 1.8 kW, which ensures uniform heating of the mass. There is a water shirt. A reliable solution was the reliable overheating protection. If suddenly it so happened that the design was heated to a dangerous temperature, the cheese factory would immediately shut down completely. For discharge of excess serum the crane is provided.

Bielmeier 29 can also cook kefir and yogurt, which makes it indispensable for families with young children. There is even a press, measuring spoon and an electronic thermometer, which makes making cheese as simple as possible.

Maggio 11 liters

Rating: 4.7

Cheese factory with a volume of 11 liters, which will easily satisfy the needs of the whole family. The model is able to produce up to 1.5 kilograms of delicious cheese in one cooking cycle. The case is assembled from a thick stainless steel (1.5 millimeters), which makes it durable and reliable. There is a separate tap for draining serum. A 1.2 kW heating element in this model is built-in with any configuration that the manufacturer delivers as a virtue.

The thermostat carefully monitors that the temperature you set does not deviate from the desired parameters.Separately, we have identified rapid cooling - milk can be cooled in just two minutes, if necessary.

The device can also pasteurize milk. Feature of the model - in a transparent lid, which allows you to monitor the process of cooking cheese in real time. You can monitor the state of the mass in the bowl, without opening the lid. Unfortunately, the kit contains almost no additional accessories for cooking.

Bielmeier 9

Rating: 4.7

The younger version is already mentioned in our rating cheese factory. Nine-liter bowl allows you to get up to 900 grams of cheese in one cooking cycle. A small amount of "production" is suitable for those for whom cheese making is just a hobby and a way to cook goodies for the holidays. For the temperature meets the built-in thermostat.

The unit is installed heaters for 1 kW. Just as in the older version, there is a reliable protection against overheating, which will protect your kitchen from accidents. The temperature of the heating can be adjusted at any time of the creation of the cheese - the model will accept the new installation and will work in accordance with it.

Not happy that the cover is made of plastic - it reduces the reliability and durability of the device, although it is not critical. On the panel you can see the current performance indicators - the time and temperature of preparation.

Fansel 15 l

Rating: 4.6

The simplest cheese factory for little money. It is suitable for those who want to try making cheese, but not sure if he will like it. In the 15-liter bowl of the model at a time it will be possible to cook up to 2 kilograms of cheese. Temperature control is carried out by two thermometers - one for a water jacket, the second - for cheese.

Cheese factory requires constant monitoring. Heater in this model is not - you need to heat the device on the stove. It is suitable for all types of plates, including induction. Moreover, there is no thermoregulation or a timer - you will have to periodically check the status of the future cheese.

Manufacturers took care of the buyer, putting in the box all that you may need at the initial stage. The set comes with a knife-lyre, forms, faucets, hoses and thermometers - in general, everything you need for a novice cheese maker.

The best cheese factories for small farms

Dr. Guber 70

Rating: 4.9

Serious 70-liter model for those who want to make a lot of cheese at once and has enough milk for that. Gives up to 7.5 kilograms of the finished product. The device fits well into a small farm and allows you to create delicious cheeses for yourself and for sale. Despite the fact that the manufacturer designates a cheese factory as semi-automatic, there is almost no need to follow it. The model incorporates a reliable 9 kW electric heating element, a kneading device of three nodes (a stirrer, a bracket with a gearbox and a flow divider), and a sensitive automatic thermometer. But the power and temperature must be monitored to switch at the right time. With large volumes of milk it is convenient that it is possible not only to cook cheese, but also to pasteurize raw materials.

The cover is divided into two parts, each has its own handle. The mixer can be removed if it is not needed at the moment. The device is easy to maintain - it is easy to disassemble and wash it after making cheese. We emphasize that the cheese factory is certified for commercial activity - together with it comes the “Declaration of Conformity with the Quality of the EAC Customs Union” and other documents necessary for the production of cheese for sale.

Mr.GRADUS 25 and 40 L

Rating: 4.8

Small industrial cheese factory, presented on the market in two versions.The model with a 25 liters bowl will suit both farms and ordinary people. But a cheese dairy for 40 liters can cover the needs for cheese, kefir or pasteurization of milk for a small farm.

The device heats up from a 3 kW heating element, which is quite economical for such a model. The control unit includes setting the temperature and cooking time. Included is an automatic stirrer with a maximum 25 revolutions per minute, which will allow you not to worry about mixing the cheese in the cooking process.

The device has an increased drainage, which will allow not to wait for a long time until all the liquid leaves the case. The cover is two-section, with convenient handles. On a regular table to put a cheese factory will not work - in the loaded state, it weighs 80 kilograms. We'll have to separately buy a rack for the device.
