Equipment
Stainless steel knives are used to uniformly cut the curds at various points during the process. The device is basically a stainless steel frame with stainless steel wires, that will cut the curd cleanly. Vats will vary depending on a variety of factors, but are generally oval or rectangle shaped with hollow walls that are used for holding warm water to keep the curds at desired temperatures. This part of the vat is referred to as the jacket. A milling machine is used to cut the matted curds that are formed during the cheddaring process. This allows the curds to be easily salted.

Famous quotes containing the word equipment:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
