Microwave Ricotta (really!?!?)

I got tired of burning my ricotta when I tried to make it homemade a few times. Now after doing some reading... who says you can't nuke it!
The issue with making fresh Ricotta is that you need to heat it uniformly to near boiling and it will indeed burn on the stove very easily. Then I realized, Microwave is a uniform heat source that does not burn food (milk in case), so we can make fresh skim ricotta (impossible to find usually) and very expensive.

How to Make Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese in the Microwave How to Make Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese in the Microwave
This is how I used to make this a long time ago. It's easy to remember the amounts of ingredients and the ratios! This is especially convenient when you don't want to buy cheese and you can make it!When you make the whey recipe, rather than boiling it, make it with milk and it's low calorie. If you bring it up to just before boiling in a pot it will dry out. So, be sure to cook it at a low temperature so that you can control the firmness. It's easier and tastier this way.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese Homemade Ricotta Cheese
I watched a cooking program for cheese on TV in Sydney.It looked so easy to make so I tried the recipe straight away.If you prefer a creamier taste, add heavy cream into the milk.I usually use 300 ml of heavy cream and 700 ml of milk.But if you do so, it changes the taste from your typical ricotta cheese, little by little.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese Homemade Ricotta Cheese
I always feel like I buy a tub of ricotta and only use it for one recipe. The rest just goes to waste and molds in the fridge. So this time I tried making my own and it turns out it is simple, easy and delicious. I'll never buy grocery store ricotta again. The higher quality dairy you use the better it will be. This recipe also only makes about two cups but is so easy to multiply. lisazirb -
