I'd like to use this to make homemade ricotta cheese. Would this be a good product to use for that purpose?

Absolutely not. You need a true chinois mesh strainer. This is a "china cap" so all of your material will run straight through the strainer.

You could use it to drain the way but use a cheese cloth liner; what it is really good for is making sauces.

I think the tip of the cone sits too low to get a big enough bowl under it. I have trouble getting a 1-2 cup bowl underneath it. You could try it...just make sure to line with cheesecloth!

I don't know what you need for ricotta, I can tell you the dimmensions of the holes, they are 1.9mm diameter which is 0.075" and I use this to remove the seeds from the grapes to make jam.

If you lined it with cheesecloth first, yes I believe it would work. However, if no cheesecloth, then no it would not work.

The Fox Run 3-Piece SS Chinois Set worked really well for me with tomatoes and other things I needed to squish up : ) to make sauces and juicey stuff. I don't knowhow to make cheese But if you lined it with cheese cloth or the like and used a DEEP bowl, well, it just might work. Hope this helped

I haven't used it for something like that, although I don't know why you couldn't. I've mainly used mine for pie crust and biscuits. I love it. Give it a try for you red velvet or pumpkin cake roll. I think it would probably work pretty good. Good luck.

I would guess you can, though I have not tried it. Only use mine for pizza.My suggestion would be to check with the manufacturer - they have a pretty good website.

Absolutely, that's what I used it for, to make yogurt cheese. It is a continuous sheet of muslin.

I think it is great for pasta. I tried it mixed with all purpose flour for pizza crust, but the texture was too tough. The texture is not as fine as regular flour..

I haven't used it for cream cheese. Why don't you test a small batch. Whip it up plain. If it doesn't work well you can still spread the cream cheese on bagels.

Thats exactly what I use it for! It's perfect for that. Also great to make cubans or paninis

I would not recommend this for anything but hard cheese. It is underpowered for anything else and very hard to clean. Easier to grate by hand. There is only one size for the grater and you can not purchase any other sizes. We gave ours away to the goodwill.

It would work perfectly for cheesecake as well for no bake goods also, great mold for oven & freezer or refrigerator! Try jello or mini quiche or even hony butter cornbread bites!

I actually did not try it for anything else, when it did not grate the cheese (which is the main reason I bought it) I tossed it in the garbage bin. The other problem I had was there were too many parts to clean after use.

We have used it for making toffee and brittles. It works great for this application. I haven't used it in the oven. I use Silpat in the oven.

It works great for pancakes, waffles, grilled cheese, etc. I think you could use it for panini's if you did like a grilled cheese by grilling one side at a time.

I really do not know. I purchased this to make fresh mozzarella cheese (buffalo cheese). Sorry :-(

Yes it is almost perfect for that. I use mine for Goat cheese and it works great. I would think that you could most likely put at least 8-9 dozen eggs in it.

I don't see why not. I will probably try it later in the growing season when I make tomato sauce. i have a much larger pan that I use for that but it is very heavy so I will try this one when making a smaller batch, Lord willing and the harvest is good this year.

not sure we only use it for potatoes, never tried cheese with it, we make a east coast recipe. sorry not being able to give you the answer you are looking for.

I am not sure. I have not used it for cheese. But you could freeze the cheese to extend its life.
