Well, about 1 1/2 months after successful Feta 2.0, I took a shot at 30-minute mozzarella. Bh took a shot but the brand of milk was probably over-pasteurized, and it turned out more like ricotta. Tasty, but not the goal. So Bh bought a different brand of milk. This wasn't quite 'smooth and shiny' as the recipe suggested, but it had a lot more 'pull' and 'stretch' than before. I rolled it into balls, chilled them in ice-water, and put them drained into the fridge for salads and test-melting later on. But the warm cheese was pretty good!
I declare Mozzarella 1.5 a deeply qualified success.
