How to Make Great Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

Step 4: Heat milk to 88-90 degrees F. Stirring occasionally.

This is not an error. You are not trying to pasteurize the milk. If you get it too hot or too cold, the Rennet will not make curds. Use a low heat so it doesn't go past the 88-90 degrees. It should take about 10-15 minutes.

I do my curd at 85F for 10 and if that does not set right I will bring the temp up to 95F

Remember: you are trying to bring about what is essentially a biological process. 88-90 degrees F (= 31-32C) is almost body temperature.
