Is this fine enough to strain yogurt?

I don't strain yogurt, but it's fine enough to rinse Chia seeds and amaranth. Those are both very tiny seeds

Yes, is good but you should put a sponge around of the input strainer. I have a sponge around and all goes good.Good luck.

Yes. I have the YM100 model and it fits well. The only advice to have better yogurt production is to leave the middle of the top tier open (don't place a jar there) so that you get better air flow. Making a nearly double batch I set the timer to 7 hours. Not too tart. Also, consider draping with clean muslin kitchen/ bar towel to trap heat in. Hope this helps.

the oven you already own with the light left on overnight is a perfect yogurt maker. no need to buy anything. but then again, an old T shirt makes a perfect yogurt strainer as well. tie the bottom in a knot, dump in the yogurt, and hang it up over the sink or over a bowl if you want to keep the whey.

Hello, I don't see why not. I've used it for making yogurt before. Not by itself, but I have made yogurt with all dry milk and then 1 cup of cream before from a recipe and it turned out fine. Dry milk is used to make yogurt thicker, and many recipes call for adding some quantity of nonfat dry milk if you want thicker yogurt...

Yes. If you have yogurt. You can strain it with this. I also use it the strain the whey from cheese curds.

Yes it will. I bought this so I could make yogurt and the inside is rounded.

It will strain yogurt to make Greek yogurt without a coffee filter or cheesecloth; however, some of the curds will make it into the whey. You cannot "plop" or pour the yogurt into it that you are going to strain or the force of gravity will push the curds through the holes in the strainer. You have to scoop the yogurt and place it gently into the strainer with something like a cup measurement. Even then, I'll get a couple of tablespoons of curds in with my whey. If I place a small coffee filter in the very bottom, the problem is completely eliminated and it makes cleanup even easier. Although it is not absolutely perfect for making Greek yogurt, I'm glad I purchased it. I didn't realize how much I would use this huge strainer in my kitchen for other things such as straining homemade soups and large batches of water kefir. It works fine for me, but like I said in my review, it may not do a good enough job for others who want a yogurt strainer that requires no insert at all and is fine enough to eliminate all curds from the whey.

Yes , although I've never done it I know the longer u incubate the yogurt it becomes thicker and more tart. Some people prefer that.so it never hurts to try it . hope this helps.

Yes, this is a strainer. You'd need to purchase regular yogurt, or make a batch of regular yogurt prior to using it. But it does a great job converting into Greek yogurt. About 24 hours or so in the fridge.

The consistency of the yogurt I make with half and half is thick enough to stick a heavy spoon in and it doesn't move. I find the smell of Greek yogurt offensive. Obviously that is not a road I would travel. With the right starter and a bit of experimentation with fermenting times you can probably make any yogurt. I ended up buying two separate containers and tops. Good unit. Small footprint on countertop. Very pleased with it.

it does! First you make the regular yogurt then you strain it for a couple of hours, or up to 6 hours. The longer you strain it, the thicker it`ll be. It comes with the strainer.

I think it would be quite good to strain almonds for almond milk. Less messy than the bag, too.

Well I use this in conjunction with the greek yogurt strainer which is a very fine mesh strainer (you can buy this separately). So once the yogurt is made in the yogurt maker, I pour yogurt into the greek strainer to finish the process. Individual jars would make this process difficult because you would have to empty each of the jars either into the greek yogurt strainer or a bag that comes with this yogurt maker. I bought the strainer option because I didn't want to mess with a bag and hanging it for drainage etc. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, ask. :)

I am not sure how you would use it to make foam.... But I know it was not fine enough to strain yogurt. I too spooned a bit of yogurt in first and it still let too much yogurt through. Still need cheese cloth or coffee filters.

I simply remove the strainer from the white cube, tilt it over a wide-mouthed container ( the yogurt has become quite dense and falls away from the seive when the seive is tilted), and pull it out w/a spoon. There is less than a 1/2 teaspoon waste. I strain mine overnight.

Hmmm... it's fine but not sure if it's THAT fine. I strain herbs for medicinal tinctures but I still use cheesecloth with it. I love it!
