I’m new to the art of cheese making. I had bought a few supplies to get going, and the follower was a recommended bundle addition. I got it, and have used it to give my cheeses a nice flat/uniform surface when pressing under weights, and the end result looks great!
I only wish a matching sized basket were available at the same time.

Good value at $3.95! So far, I've only used it once to lightly press some ricotta. Although I only used light finger pressure, this follower is substantial (about 1/4 inch thick and could clearly take moderate to heavy weight without deforming. I'm a completely novice home cheesemaker and have been happy with all of the supplies I've purchased from New England Cheesemaking Supply Company.
I used the follower with 50 lbs of pressure. Worked like a charm. Love all the products I have purchased.
