In this review, three interesting home gadgets that allow you to make a variety of cheeses, squeeze butter from a variety of seeds and nuts, cook delicious and juicy ham.
This is not a magic technique, where you put it, one or two times, and it’s done. You’ll have to learn a little bit, maybe the results will be lower than expected the first time, but in the process, I’m sure you’ll get it right. And then you can create your own recipes, and maybe this period of forced isolation will be the beginning of a new phase of culinary excellence for you.
Of course, making homemade cheese, butter, ham at home is not the way to save money. All these appliances are not cheap, and the ingredients that are needed for cooking are often expensive. But the taste and usefulness of such products is not comparable with their store analogues, and many things you can make yourself are not even sold in stores.

How it works
Interesting new product.
The cheesemaker was unveiled at IFA 2019. Now you can already buy it in America.
Ariete 0615 B Cheese is designed like a multicooker. In a round body, the thermos is a bowl, milk is poured into it and a basket is placed on top, where the cheese or cottage cheese is gathered depending on the recipe.
You choose a program on the handle and follow the indicator lights, which turn on at the right moment for a certain action.
At the end of the process the indicator light comes on and the cheesemaker stops.
Some cheeses can be displayed on the table at once, others should be put in the fridge to mature.
What it can do
It is very important that the kit has a book with recipes, where everything is step by step described. It would be more difficult without it.
Of course, you can’t make Parmesan in this cheesemaker, but you can make a lot of very interesting things, just the names alone make your mouth water.
Look, the Ariete 0615 B Cheese will make cottage cheese, cream cheese, fresh white cheese, primo-sale, cacciotta, stracchino, gorgonzola, ricotta, mascarpone, tofu. And I think then you can find even more recipes on the internet.
Since it has a program for vegetarians, you can cook cheese products from vegetable raw materials.
The products are
Of course, you can’t do without milk, you have to order and buy additional products and additives.
It’s cheese enzyme, calcium chloride, cheese starter, mold and lipase. The manufacturer’s website has a memo with links to where you can order these ingredients. In addition, there are also online stores that specialize in cheese-making and everything related to it.
- Different recipes require 1.2 to 2.0 liters of milk.
- You get from 200 to 550 grams of cheese., depending on the recipe.
Features
Ariete 0615 B Cheese is a new product on the market, so there is not much information about it. There are videos of a professional chef making cheeses, a short description and some recipes.
I could not find a manual for the cheese cooker online, so I “got” the names of the programs from the recipes. I could only find three programs, although it says six, so I can’t say what else it can do.
On the handle indication not particularly clear icons, the menu is not russified, but in the recipes, all given with the transcriptions, so you can understand.
The results
Very interesting device. You want to try it in. I love ricotta, but the one sold in America does not satisfy me, after I bought the freshest one every morning in Rome.
So I hope that I will be able to test-drive the Ariete 0615 B Cheese to get a taste of all that it can cook.

Operating principle
The butter press is auger like some juicers. Only instead of juice it squeezes the oil out of seeds and nuts.
Product is fed into the chamber where it is moved with a worm. Oil is squeezed out into one bowl, oil cake into another. By the way, the cake can be used in various dishes, it won’t go to waste. Especially if you’re making butter from pine nuts or cashews.
In order to squeeze the oil the chamber must be hot.
That is why the butter press has a heating element. After turning on the machine is recommended to warm up to 100 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Then the temperature can be reduced.
No need to warm up the oil press in principle. You can immediately set a low temperature, such as 40 degrees, but then from 100 g of sesame seeds, for example, you get only 23-25 g of butter.
The amount of oil depends on the type of ingredients and the spinning temperature – the higher the temperature, the more oil you need. Cold-pressed butter is made at 60-80 ° C.
What can it do
Presses oil from flax, sunflower, mustard, hemp, peanuts, nuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, pistachios, milk thistle.
Products
- It is recommended that the seeds be dried before pressing.
- It is clear that the cost of butter depends on the price of raw materials. Sunflower oil will be much cheaper than cedar oil. Well, in order to get a solid amount of butter, you need a lot of the original product.
- Prepare for the fact that making butter is not the fastest process, you need patience. The auger rotates slowly so that the oil is squeezed with maximum efficiency.
Nuances
This oil press does not know how to press oil from olives and grape seeds.
Results
It is clear that such machines are not for everyone. But if you dare, you can try a non-perishable oil from a variety of seeds and nuts. It’s good for your health and beauty.
