Iron Chef Milk cheese was Re: [Sca-cooks] jellied milk

[Kerri Martinsen]

On Iron Chef last night the theme was Milk.  One of the guys made a "quick
cheese" using milk and vinegar.  Has anyone ever done that?  It looked like
he used 2 quarts of milk to about 1 to 1 1/2 c of vinegar, but you never can
really tell what they are doing.

Any thoughts?
