Can I use parchment paper instead of cheese cloth?
You can use kitchen towel instead of cheese cloth.
How many days before it expired?
It is good at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Can i bake this instead using hot water bath?
Hi Tess,
I have not baked cheese puto before so I cannot tell you what the outcome would be.
The first time I made this was a hit to my husband and to my colleagues…
I am now on my second one…
Tomorrow will be my third one..
Many thanks to you Ms. Lisa…
