So easy and delicious! Thanks for all the ideas, fellow reviewers! I tend to have a lot of milk that reaches maturity date - now I don't have to throw it away. This recipe wins in every way - saves money compared to buying ricotta at the store, it's fun to make, it's easy, it saves waste and it's delicious! I used this in my homemade veggie lasagna - the best it's ever been!
Thanks, Ina!

If you would have asked me yesterday I would have said I dislike ricotta cheese. Homemade ricotta however, is completely different ! I will NEVER buy that yucky store bought stuff again gross !! I had no trouble getting the curd and whey to separate. I used trader Joes organic whole milk and cream !!

This was very good. I agree with the other reviewers and let it sit 10 minutes before I started to drain it. I also saved the liquid and used it as the liquid for cooking rice. Fresh is the best!

I saw Ina do this on her show, And decided I had to try it. It is so dielicious, wouldn't want to use bought ricotta again. I will say the quality of the milk and cream will determine the quality of your ricotta, which she discussed.

Do not do as I did and use ultra pasteurized milk. This is not specified in the recipe. I prepared the ricotta mixture exactly as described, and it never curdled. I had to search online to learn that if you use ultra pasteurized milk, the ricotta will never curdle. Once again Food Network has let me down by not editing their recipes and including vital information. I don't appreciate wasting my money and time on a failed recipe.

This was amazing! I was intimidated to make cheese, but this was definitely how you build your confidence. I followed the directions as written and didn't change anything. I loved it. It was very easy and I would def make it, again.

The first few times I made this, it worked great! But the last few batches I've made didnt. The solids arent seperating from the whey like before, and it just all runs through the cheesecloth for a total waste. Im using the same milks and salt and vinegar that i always use...what am i doing wrong?

WOW. That's all I can say. This is the best ricotta I have ever tasted and boy was it so easy, I will never buy store ricotta again. I can't wait to taste it in my lasagna with my homemade sauce. Now I am embolden to try making other cheeses. Thanks Ina!
