This cheese basket 165 mm wide, and 140 mm high. A follower is included and both are ideal for use with our stainless steel cheese press with spring to make that perfect cheese at home. I prefer to use this basket when making batches of cheese with 10 to 16 litres of milk.
Note: Plastic items should not be sterilised by immersion in boiling water, to prevent warping. A no-rinse sterilising solution like StarSan or Iodophor can also sanitise your equipment.

The 165mm basket and its follower are well made and, as a mold, seems more versatile in what you can make with it… at least when compared to others of its type. I particularly like how you can form a wheel with good thickness and proportion even when using smaller quantities of milk. I’ve not come across another basket of this size which can produce such nice aesthetics.

Just the ticket for making my blue cheeses. The follower fits perfectly

Was disappointed when I put follower in boiling water for about 5 seconds and it warped

Hi Cherie, Sorry to hear, but the product label does read in red letters “Do not boil”. Unfortunately, I cannot make it any clearer than that. Kind regards, Gavin

Great basket! I only gave 4 stars as the follower warped when I heat sterilised it. Probably my fault, tho there wasn’t any warning with the basket not to get it hot.

A must have if you follow Gavin’s recipes. Top notch quality and the perfect size.

What a workhorse this basket has become! It is my go-to for nearly every pressed cheese I make — ideal proportions, excellent drainage, and a follower that fits well and has a recessed area that helps centre the spring in my press. I will certainly recommend it, and would happily buy another one. Thank you, Gavin!

This by far is my best . No problems now with all my curds fitting in the basket and makes perfect shaped cheese. Thanks Gavin

Great mould at a good price.
perfect size for my hard cheeses.

This basket has a lot of holes, and these are good for curd draining !
Heather Blair (verified owner) –
This basket is nice and smooth – it doesn’t have the sharp little ridges that catch the cheesecloth as I’m trying to line the basket!! Especially when I’m turning the cheese over between pressing.

The perfect basket… Good size, good design and I’m currently doing my first hard cheese with.

I really like this mould, it is a good size and I didn’t have curds come up around the edges when I pressed it

This is The One. I have several molds but this one is just perfect if you want to that professional look. Hey, I’m now making cheese like the ‘Man’ himself.
