If you don't have a microwave. Heat water or clear wey to about 135degrees, cut a bit of curd a double handful, lower the curd into the water. You can work the curd with the stainless spoon, at some point say30sec. lift the curd out with a spoon and work it with your hands, you can tell, if it is like play dough, it's ready. The more you work it, the harder stringier it will be. If you roll it into it's self it will be like the store mozz but it will tast better.

We don't have a microwave :)

I made my first batch today! I did it without a microwave by heating the whey. The instructions I had said that the internal temp of the cheese should be heated to 135 - so the whey should actually be heated up to 185, remove from heat and then put the cheese back in the pot and let it sit until the internal temp is 135. It seemed to work :)
