You’ll need to experiment and ultimately decide if your tools have the power to make soft cheeses solid. The microwave method works if you don’t have a food dehydrator; however, the end product won’t come out as powdery. If you are using a softer cheese variety, like cottage or burrata, you may want to add some wax paper to the tray you’re using and spread it out in the thinnest layer possible.

Soft cheeses can be dried in a food dehydrator, but they will require to be left for a little longer in the food dehydrator.
