3. Put the lid on and let it cool off for about 15 minutes.
4. After it has set for 15 minutes, get all the curd out with a spoon and put it into a separate bowl, or use a strainer and cheese cloth.
5. If using a cheese cloth, squeeze all the whey out.
6. Put the ball of curd in the microwave for 30 seconds.
7. Stretch and fold the warm cheese over itself, being careful as it will be hot.
