Stripping is a necessary step in refinishing an object made of wood. If you want to restain or paint a table, piece of furniture or another wooden object, removing the stain with a chemical stripper is necessary. Strippers are highly caustic and can burn the skin on your hands. As such, it's always important to wear the appropriate gloves for the task.
Curds and whey are the two products that result from the curdling process of cheese making. The curds are creamy thickened chunks of young cheese. Whey is a liquid substance that separates and is strained away from the curds. Cheese curds are typically either seasoned and served fresh, or salted and dry aged.
In cookery, curdling is the breaking of an emulsion or colloid into large parts of different composition through the physico-chemical processes of flocculation, creaming, and coalescence. Curdling is intentional and desirable in making cheese and tofu; unintentional and undesirable in making sauces and custards.
