can this be used to strain yogurt?

I guess it would depend on how thick your yogurt is to start out. I have never tried it, but it would be worth a try. I use a Donvier Wave for straining my yogurt and the mesh is much finer and works perfectly. Good luck!!

Why would you want to strain yogurt at all? I'd imagine it would be difficult, since the mesh is fairly small. I've never strained yogurt in my life, and won't in the future.

I have never made yogurt, so I don't know. It works very well however for kefir.

You can certainly make yogurt using the Square Rutes Dehydrator! In fact, the square/cube-shape of the unit allows for many sized jars to be used to make yogurt.

Yes you can. I just spoon the yogurt into an ice cube tray, freeze it, pop out the cubes of yogurt then into the machine. Works great.

I use mine for straining butter and oil from my magic butter machine. It worked great !! I didn't wash it first though.

We haven't tried it yet, but you in general you can make yogurt using starter from store-bought yogurt that has live bacteria. So it should work with this machine.

I would say that you probably could. The mesh is very fine and I bought it so I can rinse lentils and split peas. It also strains pasta perfectly. This is a very good strainer.

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...

That I cannot answer for sure, but I don't see why not. The success to making yogurt is temperature, not what it's made in.

Hi, Claris. Yes, you can. I use these 7-cup round Pyrex container bowls with rubber lids ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MW2BIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). One of these fits perfectly without the lid (which you don't use inside the machine) inside this yogurt maker. I like Greek-style yogurt, so after I process it for 10 hours, I turn it into this EuroCuisine Greek yogurt strainer ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and put it into the 'fridge for about 25 hours. I use the same (washed & dried) Pyrex glass container to store the strained thick yogurt in (with it's red rubber lid) in my 'fridge. Since I use a lot of yogurt and also make cheeses (large extended family), I make two batches of the yogurt per day 5-6 days per week. I generally make my batches around 10:30am and 10:30pm. And if my aged cheeses and smoked cheeses all end up as well as the first ones have (just started yogurt- and cheese-making 2 months ago, so I'm awaiting some of the aged cheeses to age & ripen), I'm going to buy at least one other of these EuroCusine yogurt makers. I already bought a second strainer and more Pyrex bowls. I feed my husband and me, my three adult step-children, four grandchildren, and hubby's two ex-wives, two ex-sisters-in-law & a brother-in-law, and my own 2 sisters-in-law and 3 brothers-in-law, plus various neighbors, all of the yogurt and cheese we can eat from working this one machine hard. My extended family all live in rural farm country, where I can easily trade my own baked goods and my cooking and - now - my own yogurt and cheese, for fresh cow's, sheep, and goat's milks. So I need to use the one large batch method, not little jars. Pyrex works great. HTH

A gallon of Milk would strain through, but it has a very fine mesh, so the yogurt would just clog it.

I use this to strain yogurt which I make in a two quart Yogotherm. It will hold more than a quart--about 5 to 5 1/2 cups initially. But if you're willing to let the whey drain off for 15-30 minutes, you can eventually add a full 8 cups (2 quarts).

No. If you want plain no greek yogurt, all you need to do is to NOT strain the yogurt once done.

I don't see why not. It just keeps it at the right temperature. But if you are making Greek yogurt you will only get about 2.5 cups of yogurt after you filter off the whey from 5 cups of milk.

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.

Absolutely. I use it all the time for canning jars. Mostly to strain kefir .. but yes, I've used it for both regular and wide mouth jars.

No, this sieve / strainer is very small and insubstantial. Its best use might be for straining loose tea over a mug.

Yes. It works very well. I especially use it to strain blended fruits or vegetables.
