Is there any reason why I couldn't use these to test the pH in cheese I'm making?

This really only works for substances that dissolve fully in water. I tried to measure the pH of a thin cream (the consistency of runny hair conditioner) and it wouldn't read. If your substance is fully liquid, then yes, if not, then no.

I have no info on how accurate a cheese thermometer should be, but this is not as accurate as the baking thermometers like the ones from Polder. This is close, but the scale is not long, which means that it is up to interpretation. Wow thanks to spell check. If the readings don't have to be that accurate, then this one should work. If not, then look at the baking ones with a digital read out. Good luck,

It is not recommended. This is meant to be used as a calibration solution to calibrate pH meters. If you need to adjust the pH up or down, we recommend using a pH Up or Down Adjustment solution.

Yes, you can use this citric acid for cheese making. You can also check Wal-Mart canning section...think it's a little cheaper.

P. S. Only use regular salt. Tiny amount at a time. It's easy to to go over the pH.

I checked my package thoroughly and did not see anything on pH. I was able to contact the company about this treat in regards to something different, and they responded very promptly. I would give that a try. Sorry I couldn't help anymore than this.

You need to have a solution of known PH so you can test your PH metter and calibrate it according to instructions

I don't see why you can't. I would do a test on one (first) as it may leave a milky color in spots, no actual residue that you can feel.

Sounds like the ones you have do not contain baking soda. Considering how little baking soda there is in the ones that have it, I doubt there's much difference in effectiveness.

Regarding acidity, I don't believe It would be an issue because this is used in high acid home canned pie filings. Should be fine.

No you cant push it directly in the soil. To ph soil, you would need to mix your soil in some neutral ph solution or ph'd water, then use your device to measure the ph.

Have only used the ph strips to test saliva / urine as per box instructions. Don't know how u would test vaginal ph balance

This is not the divice to use. It measures total desolved solids. If the impurities are not desolved, i.e.an emulsion, it won't work.

Hi. I don't think they are advertised as acid free so I wouldn't use them for something important. Also, they aren't exactly airtight.

That shouldn't be a problem. Set the unit on a higher alkaline level and don't run the water real fast. It gives the machine more time to raise the pH.

Hi, I know there is a special test fluid you can buy to check every bottle of test strips before you use them to make sure they are functioning properly, never had a box longer then about 3 months and never had a problem besides once in a while an individual strip giving an error message. Maybe you can contact the company/maker of the tests trips directly to make sure before you buy. Have a great day

Hi Kathryn, since there is no mention in the product information about the pages being acid free, I think you have to assume that they are not. That would surely be a great selling point and if they could use that as a promotion for the product they would. I'm still using mine to hold recipes, not nearly as dear to me as photos would be so I wasn't thinking along the same lines as you when I bought these.Judy
