I need advice!!! I ran a bushel of pears through my grinder and press setup and it was a bit of a disaster. I have a WhizzBang style grinder made from a kitchen disposal and a farm duty motor to replace the disposal's weak motor. And for the press I use a modified harbor freight h-frame press, used like a rack and cloth style press. I let the pears sweat for 5 days. Then after grinding them, I built my cheeses like I do with apples and as I started applying pressure, everything started sliding out the sides. Ended up doing one layer at a time, applying pressure very slowly, and it took half a day to get it all pressed. What could/should I have done differently? Would I have had the same problems if I used proper perry pears?
Use a juicer instead. Works great on apples.
Just to add that a Breville centrifugal juice works a lot faster and doesn’t plug and is easier to clean than a Kuvings masticating juicer.
