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, but rinsed with boiling water, to prevent warping.
A sterilising solution can also be used, but must be fully rinsed off.

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

This basket has a lot of holes, and these are good for curd draining !

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.
