Does this yogurt maker make just regular yogurt? Or does it have to be Greek yogurt?

Do you really need this maker, I just boil the milk and then add a tablespoon of shop purchased yogurt and add it to the luke warm milk and then leave it overnight and you will get yogurt ready the next day. This process is ideal during summer and during winter I just warm the cooking range for about 5 min and then place the container in there and by the next day your yogurt is ready. I am doing this for the past 20 years. You don't need any maker to make your yogurt, save the money for something better.

This yogurt maker makes regular yogurt. If you want Greek yogurt all you have to strain the yogurt afterwards in the strainer provided. If you just want regular yogurt you skip the last step.

1. Make sure you let it set for at least 10 hours. Sometimes it takes this long if the weather is dry or cool- hot and humid makes the best yogurt!2. You could try adding an extra cup of full fat powdered milk or decreasing the water you add to the mix slightly. 3. The Greek yogurt is naturally the thickest

Make your own yogurt in an electric yogurt machine, then pour in this Greek yogurt maker which strains the whey out for creamy rich Greek Yogurt, or.....buy any brand Regular yogurt, up to 64oz, and pour in the Greek yogurt maker to strain the whey out and still have rich creamy Greek yogurt. Easy as pour it in, put in fridge for 14 hours, then eat plain or add any flavor or fruit, granola, etc. to you own taste. You'll love it!!

No, if you get a working one, it will make any yogurt. The only difference between Greek and regular yogurt is Greek is strained to make it thicker.

Berry yogurt was just OK, but I preferred vanilla Greek yogurt. I'd like to try coconut and banana flavors also. My favorite chocolate "fix" is to add the mix to vanilla yogurt and eat it like frosting. I also cook one serving size in the microwave.

I have only used the Greek kind as it is my favorite. Straining the yogurt after it is made will thicken it too.

Yes but choose plain yogurt, no flavors or sugars added. I buy a pint of whole milk Greek yogurt and use it to make 4 or 5 batches of 1 quart yogurt. I tried the powder sample that came with the yogurt maker but I like the Greek yogurt starter more.

From what I've read, Greek yogurt is higher in protein, lower in carbs and sugar (lactose), but higher in fat than regular yogurt. I believe much of the probiotics are in the whey, so I still try to use the whey after using this strainer. I've used whey 1:1 as a replacement for milk in pancakes and waffles.

I think so. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You make the yogurt separately (or just buy non-dairy yogurt) and pour it into this strainer. Yogurt turns into "Greek yogurt".

I just received my yogurt maker yesterday and would like to make flavored yogurt. Can you tell me when to add the fruit and if I have to cook it first or can I add it raw.Thank you.

I saw your post about the yogourmet yogurt maker. I also want one I can use with the SCD . Have you found a more suitable one yet?

Basically it's little bit of yogurt with active cultures, powdered milk (for some recipes), regular milk, and a thermometer. You just need to Google homemade yogurt recipes for a variety of instructions and ingredients depending on whether or not you want to make it with whole milk, reduced fat or fat free. All are possible.

We apologize but you would have to contact the manufacturer directly. You can follow this link: http://www.bydash.com/shop/dash-greek-yogurt-maker/

I just use regular plain 0% fat greek yogurt (Fage brand). Works fine. I have also used some of the homemade yogurt as a starter for the next batch - that worked fine too.

Yes and No.... Greek yogurt is pretty much any yogurt that has been strained to remove excess whey making it thick like sour cream consistency. The yogurt culture used and length of time it is cultured determines how tart it becomes. I allow my yogurt to ferment for 12 hours or more and use a Greek yogurt strainer basket to remove the whey, it then taste very much like sour cream (I used it as a substitute for any where I would use sour cream; making mash potatoes, on top of tacos or baked potatoes...). Or I ferment it for about 8 hours without straining the whey and it is less tart and taste more like sweet yogurt. The yogurt culture used also makes a difference in taste, and the longer it ferments the more tart or sour it taste. The yogurt bacteria produces acids and the more acids produced the more tart it is. The tartness can be controlled by picking a yogurt culture and fermentation time that suits your taste.

The only answer I could give you would be either because it makes regular, probiotic, and greek yogurt or because it includes recipes for 1 and 2 quarts of yogurt.

Yes! To make greek style, you first need to make regular yogurt in the yogurt maker. When it's done, let it cool, then strain it for several hours through a coffee filter or cheese cloth and a fine mesh strainer to remove the whey. This creates thick, rich greek style yogurt.
