Guide to Preparing Homemade Creamy Burrata Cheese
After the initial steps, let the curds sit in the liquid for a bit.
Taste them to see if they've become less sweet.
Then, remove most of the liquid.
Put the curds in a special cloth and let them drain while staying warm, like a cozy blanket for a few hours.
If you plan to stretch them the same day, warm up some water.
Curds should settle under whey for 30–60 minutes.
Check the curds' acidity by tasting them; they should not taste sweet.
Remove whey to the curd level.
Transfer curds to a cheesecloth-lined colander.
Allow curds to drain for 2–3 hours while keeping them warm.
