I just ordered this and am very excited by the prospect of making my own cheese (Newbie). However, I was a little disappointed by the flat-handled ladle included with this kit. My preference would have been a rounded handle. I just wanted to make sure that if the ladle is one of the reasons you are purchasing this kit you might want to know that detail. Otherwise, I'm excited to start this new adventure once I am able to make a little time to dig into the process!
