Can you cook off the lactose in the dairy product you are using?

Like will boiling milk long enough vaporize the lactose?

If I make chicken parm and use fresh and wet mozzarella, will the lactose be cooked away, or still be present when I eat.

What if I make a lasagna with ricotta?

Lactose isn't alcohol.

How do creamery companies eliminate the lactose then, like Fair Life Brands?

They add an enzyme called lactase which breaks the lactose down into ordinary sugar. You can buy lactase, but you would need to research how much to add to a given amount of a specific dairy product to eliminate the lactose.

I have taken the lactase pills but apparently it does not help me. I must not be calculating correctly how much I need to take.

why not use a dairy free product in your recipes?

Oh, I am just wondering for restaurants I eat at. I was thinking at eating at this red sauce Italian place. I was thinking about the chicken parm, or lasagna. They use the wet fresh cheeses most likely.
