Can this unit make thick yogurt?

It makes thick yogurt if you use Greek yogurt as a starring culture. Also using whole milk and adding a little heavy cream makes it thicker too

We have found that using whole milk makes a thicker yogurt. My wife and I love it........ the quality is superior to store bought products.

I'm no expert, but I believe the thickness of the yogurt depends on many factors such as the type of milk and the starter culture you use. We use organic whole milk and a tablespoon of plain organic yogurt for starter and in 6 hours or so the Euro Cuisine makes a pretty thick yogurt- similar to what you buy in the grocery store in the little containers. Maybe if you use Greek yogurt as a starter it will come out even thicker...

Yes. We do not like thin, watery yogourt. The less fat in the milk you use, the thinner the yogourt. But with the recommended yeast, we get thick enough yogourt even with skim milk.

I haven't been able to using coconut milk. It simply separates the water and the yogurt floats on top. Using organic goats milk it is like thick buttermilk or sour cream after you've used a bit and you mix the the separated parts. I followed the booklet to a T and its not thick, but still good.

Use greek yogurt as a starter, and run the machine for 24 hours by simply reseting the timer midway. This yields yogurt about as thick as greek yogurt.

Greek yogurt requires the same culture plus extra straining. There is a product sold on Amazon simply for straining Greek yogurt to check out.

It can with the right recipe. Make sure you follow the recipe that comes with the user's booklet. Use FAGE's total product as a culture, and make sure you strain it. Amazon offers several strainers. Good Luck.

Yes, you can make yogurt in the dehydrator. Here is a link: http://ezinearticles.com/?Making-Yogurt-in-a-Food-Dehydrator&id;=3907749

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.

Amazon.com sells it. I saw it when I did a general search for yogurt makers. Thanks for answering my question.

Yes. The set includes a 1 QT rectangular container AND 6 jars that all fit in the unit at the same time. You can make a half gallon of yogurt using both the rectangular container and the jars! It works great! This is my 2nd one, I gave my first one to my daughter. It also has a strainer that fits into the rectangular container to strain and thicken the yogurt. Hope this helps!

Are you using the correct proportion and the right kind of culture? I have used my Donvier many times and the yogurt is consistently thick.

I do not believe you can. I know, and have made, ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt. Sorry I could not answer your question specifically.

Not sure, I have a Euro Cuisine Yogurt Maker, Sorry. Amazon is good about returns if you want to try and they don't fit. Just a thought.

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.

I have not used it as a yogurt strainer but the holes are small enough for me to strain lentils if that helps.

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.

yes I use to make homemade yogurt and turn the yogurt in to thick greek yogurt it is very thick sour cream consistency so yes it would definitely work to make cottage cheese

The thick yogurt should stay in the fine mesh insert and the liquid should drip through into the the solid box. It will take a while. Then you should only use the white yogurt that remains in the mesh part and discard the liquid that has drained through into the solid box.

Yes it makes regular yogurt. Only when you put it in the strainer attachment does it become Greek Yogurt.

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 don't think so. I bought it to use in making yogurt, bot it is so slow I use different ones I have. I guess one must pay more to get one that they are happy with.

Yes, definitely. I have made soy yogurt in one. Just put the container in without the shelves and set temperature to 105-110 degrees.
