My Mom used to make "Squeaky Cheese" many years ago but unfortunately I never watched her make it, but I seem to remember the pan she used looked like a pizza size pan that had holes punched in the bottom of it to help remove moisture from the cheese while baking. I wish I would have paid more attention to it now.

Instructions
Heat milk in double boiler to 88°F (but not over 90°). Dissolve crushed rennet in 1 tbsp. of cool water; set aside. In a cup, mix dry ingredients with a small amount of the warmed milk. Add this mixture and dissolved rennet into the rest of the warmed milk. Stir well; set aside to jell. Do not disturb.
Jelling time varies from 20 to 45 minutes. Test by inserting wooden spoon into mixture. When jelled properly, the spoon should leave a clean hole.
When jelled, stir to break up curds into 1-inch chunks. Let set 5-10 minutes until whey separates from curds. Set out a 9-inch round cake pan with a thin, wet cloth draped over it. Pour jelled mixture onto cloth; gather all corners and sqeeze out as much whey as possible. Remove the cloth and firmly press mass into pan.
Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Periodically pour whey out. Broil on both sides until light golden brown. Cool on rack and let dry 1-2 hours. Refrigerate.
