I am wanting something to send yogurt in for my little ones snack time since it has to be kept out of their lunch bag. I would like to put the yogurt container itself into the frozen container. I use the kids containers which are usually 2 3/4 inches...

Yes, it will fit and it works very well. I use for my daughters yogurt & granola.

I bought oxo containers that store small portions of baby food and freezed them. Any freezer friendly containers will do

The packaging said it is food grade polyproplene. I think if you wanted a straight sided glass jar with lid (like would be used for canning) could be used inside were the actual yogurt is being produced. And they do make some of the lids for these in a plastic so as not to have,a metal canning lid. Best suggestion I can give you.

I haven't tried, but the walls of the larger container are filled with a freezing agent, and do keep things cold for the 4 hours before my daughter eats lunch. I would probably go with a standard, stainless steel thermos container if you need to keep something cold for 6 hours.

Pretty fine...I haven't but you could probably strain yogurt/fresh cheese through it... My only complaint, and it's my own fault, is the size....I would buy one twice as large next time

A watery sauce or moisture from fruits will go into other compartments. A small paper towel in the bottom of the compartment takes care of that. Yogurt might be ok if it's pretty thick.

Would be better to store the milk in a breastmilk storage bag. Much more space friendly in your freezer! :)

In my experience, no. The ice pops I made became slushy as the children ate them in the sun. Perhaps a yogurt "ice pop" might stay frozen-ish if you wrapped in it an ice pack, but I would recommend testing it on your counter first.

I couldn't find one that this fits into. The lunchbox is too big. I am returning the product so don't plan to try. A six pack cooler might work, but then it doesn't fit into my kid's backpack.

I use an old yogurt container and stand them up in the freezer. I can get all 6 in my container.

I added fruit to the jar before putting the yogurt in and that seemed to work. Otherwise you could just add it at the end.

Sorry, I've never made yogurt in the really small containers. We had a yogurt maker that made about 2 pints at a time, but we got thru a lot of yogurt so this one is more convenient for us.

Yes....I just popped the whole container in a freezer....use ice cream scoop to use as needed

The little jars are silly. I retired them and the cover lid after the first batch. Now I re-use two large 32 oz standard yogurt containers. Two of them fit well, then I am adding a third 16 oz container. (Three large containers will not quite fit. I just cover it all with a clean kitchen towel and leave it for 8-10 hours. Works great! I also noticed that the milk will contract when it becomes yogurt so you will have less volume of yogurt than of the starting milk. I measure up full containers when I start, then add another cup or so of milk to be heated.

Even if it fits into the container, it creates a very strong vortex, lifting things up from the bottom, so you need a container that is taller than you'd imagine. I save tall one quart yogurt containers and use them for making smoothies, cake batter, etc. For pureeing small quantities (like two cans of catfood), the one pint ziploc containers are just right. Start out on slow speed and don't plunge in too quickly! I use it three or four times a day and it really is the best hand mixer that I've ever owned... (and I've burned out at least ten other brands in my long career)

I put them in a tall plastic container or a plastic tumbler until frozen. I have never had a problem with them. Make excellent orange juice pops or fruity yogurt pops for my husband.

The containers can only fit in one way especially since the top one is apart of what the lid screws down on to. It's probably best to put all containers in otherwise it may not be as effective. It's a really awesome product though. I use it all the time and it's the best lunch box I've ever had.
