Customer Response

Disappointed
I was very disappointed in the Yogurt Cheese Maker. I tried several brands of yogurt and they all just went thru the screening, so really was a waste of my money. Granted, wasn't as much as some of the other products, but could have gotten better (and did) results with cheese cloth,.'

BEST YOGURT CHEESE MAKER
When I began my online search for yogurt makers, I really didn't know what to buy. Someone had given me a small container of Greek yogurt, and I loved it. When I went to purchase the Greek Yogurt, I knew I would have to learn how to make it. The cost of Greek Yogurt does not fit into our budget. I started my search on amazon, the reviews for this yogurt maker sold me on it.

I buy a large container of Plain Dannon Yogurt ($1.94), put it in the yogurt strainer and take it out before it becomes cheese and its the perfect Greek
Yogurt. I can usually get 4 to 5 servings out of this one large container.

That figures to about 40 cents per serving.

The other great thing about this yogurt maker is that it is small and easy to clean. I highly recommend this product

I use coffee filters
I've been straining my yogurt for 10 years now using coffee filters and any old strainer over a bowl. Instuctions below. (I finally bought a coffee filter basket and it works even better now.)

Put the filter over the open quart of yogurt, then place the strainer upside down on top of that. Invert them over a bowl and place in fridge. Save the lid. When its done, put the lid back on.

Another way to do it, if you are unsure about inverting it: use 3 or 4 coffee filters in any strainer over a bowl. Fan the filters out to cover all the holes in the strainer and dump the yogurt in quickly. Use a large bowl or check it and empty it a few times because there is usually a lot of whey.

When the yogurt is done, it easily scrapes off of the coffee filters and leaves no aftertaste.

I often leave it strainer for days, no problems.

If you save the whey and blend it with cheese and spices - it makes a nice dip. Whey is full of good probiotics. Cheese Wiz is full of whey, thats where I got the idea.

Turns the yogurt gray & metal tasting!
i should have known better ... since i don't make my kefir in any metal containers. the reviews got me again ... i should have followed my intuition.

when i got the yogurt cheese out of the container the next day it was a perfect consistency BUT gray where it touched the metal screen and the taste was such a strong metal taste is was nauseating. the whey was gray and metal tasting as well. just a horrible experience. i don't understand the positive reviews since the product DOES NOT work for making, edible, yogurt cheese!

Terrific device
I have two of these rascals and purchased a number of them for my children. It works just dandy. I've had them for approximately 18 to 20 months and have them in use all the time. There is the drawback that they don't hold a full quart, but, I've found that if I put the yogurt in the basket without putting the lid on it, I can put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes when enough liquid will drain off for the lid to fit on. I dump the liquid in a few hours and then let it sit for a day or two. Enough liquid drains off in the first few hours to allow the yogurt not to sit in it if you discard it at that time. I've used yogurt that I've made myself and yogurt that I've purchased in the container. I use or make non-fat yogurt with no problem. It's great for making tzatziki and other different spreads and dips. Although, it may seem a bit pricey (which it is) the long term utility makes up for it. Cheese cloth is messy and must be continually replaced. I have had no trace of rust nor odors from the container.
