Two simple tricks can help you turn rubbery store-bought paneer into a softer, more flavorful cheese.
There are two kinds of disappointment in the kitchen. One is when you know your subpar dinner is your own fault, and had you taken just a little more care you wouldn't be choking down such an unsatisfying meal. The other is when the problem lies with subpar ingredients that fail to be what you know they could and should. I have experienced this at times with store-bought paneer, a convenience product that too often cooks up hard and rubbery.
Many people say that the best way to do this is by soaking it in warm water before adding it to a dish, the idea being that the paneer will absorb water and soften as a consequence.
Unfortunately, what this means is that the very cheeses that are most in need of a softening treatment are the tight, rubbery ones that are least able to absorb water and soften. Therefore, if the paneer feels hard and rubbery initially, it is unlikely to absorb much water, even after soaking overnight, and thus won't soften significantly.
