I got a 5.25″ Diameter, polypropylene follower. Then I got a 6″D at top, tapering to 5-1/2″ at bottom, x 4-1/2″H mold. Can this follower be ok to use in this mold to make chedder.
It should work ok. You will end up with a ridge around the top of the finished cheese that you can trim off with a sharp knife. If you decide to make another follower to fit better plastic cutting boards work well and are cheap
