Can it be used for hard cheeses inside the mold while draining? I have found other cheesecloths stick to my curds.

I made fresh cheese from whole milk and the curds did not stick to the cheese cloth at all (FYI - I put the cheese cloth inside a colander).

I use a parchment liner in this bowl for wetter doughs. I have only used this for a final rise.

Absolutely! We have had ours for months and love it! I have also given them as little gifts for those that I see just throw their opened packs of sliced cheese in the cheese drawer. They have loved it as well! It is sturdy and snaps shut for keeping the slices fresh. I highly recommend this cute little cheese holder!

I have only used it for Feta cheese. I would think it would be all right as my Feta cheese is creamy.

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

I am not sure; I think that it would work for some cheeses, but not for others! I think that it would depend on the texture of the cheese. I am guessing that hard cheeses would be likely to crumble and that if the cheese was too soft, it would not hold its shape very well. I am not sure that I would buy this for cutting cheese, but I may try it at some point. I use these mostly for cutting fruits and vegetables with children in the kitchen; they work well with small hands. I hope that this helps!

Sorry, I don't know. I use a hand grater for small amounts and a Breville sous chef for large amounts. I would imagine that for sticky cheeses it wouldn't work so well, but why not try it with some cubes of parmesan or other firm cheese?

This is extremely fine cheesecloth - but not a "tight weave". So it feels more like a nice heavy gauze than a cloth. I use it to line my tofu mold when making block tofu since it helps drain away water but will retain the curds - and the thinness allow me room to work when it has to be placed between things (like wooden boxes and their tops.

When I bought the Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater, the information given said that it was good for grating hard cheeses, chocolate and nuts. As for grating soap, I suppose it could work as long as the soap is hard enough. Other than that, I don't know.

I have never tried with soft cheese. It is awesome for hard cheese like cheddar or gouda. It slices it like butter.

I am not sure how well it works on hard cheeses, but it works great for softer cheeses. I LOVE it and I wouldn't be afraid to use it on hard cheeses. Just be gentle with it and it should fine.

I have only used it on hard cheese so far. It has worked straight to the end of the block.

I've never made kefir cheese, but I don't see why not. The strainer element, which sits inside the large plastic bowl, is fairly fine and drains well. It just may take a while for it all to drain, and you'll need to empty the bowl as it drains through if you have more than two cups of liquid, so as not to fill up to the, cheese in the straining container.

You can use it for that, but it would be wasteful. If you want cheesecloth for polishing cars, etc., you should get industrial grade which is not as refined as Brighenti Cheesecloth. Brighenti Cheesecloth would be used primarily in the kitchen environment in handling food.

I used it for kefir cheese a few times, but it didn't drain as much as we would have liked. We ended up going back to a clean t-shirt and colander instead!

it's fairly fine-mesh -- we use it to strain broth. However, we're not too picky about having the broth turn out clear -- if you care about that, you'll probably need a second round with cheesecloth. Overall, a nice, strong strainer, though!

Yes and no, it has to be very firm. Any soft or sticky cheese becomes a mess. I have sliced cheese that was cold and then let it come to room temp. I don't think that it was intended to do cheese. As with any tool you must try it to see if you can make it do what you want it to do.
