Parmesan Whey

[GlowingGhoul]

I'm making this: http://www.fusionchef.us/us/rezept_details.php?id=Onion+Soup+Parmesan

What can I do with the whey reserved from this recipe?

I've made the parmesan water by using ground parmesan and water and letting it be stirred at 70C in a Thermomix for 1/2 an hour. Did not find a use for the whey as most of the flavour was in the water. However be warned once the whey sets as it cools it's very very difficult to get off, think parmesan cheese moulded into the container

Whey can be used in breads/biscuits. We use our yogurt whey this way. You can also make ricotta cheese with it.

I use whey for a sauce of whatever I'm using the cheese for. For example, when I make ricotta, I use the whey to make my buerre monte which is used to glaze the finished pasta.

I'm not getting this: What make this 'whey' set? The whey is the thin, liquid fraction that doesn't set.
