Is This product large enough to strain 1/2 gallon of yogurt?

I only use it for almond milk. I strain it using half and then half again, so its easier. That is an option if you think it will not hold 1/2 gallon of yogurt.

The large bags are huge... You should be fine to do that much.. if not a little more..

This container easily holds 32 ozs. of yogurt. Initially you do need to empty the container, you have the strainer sitting in, about every 8 hours or so, because the support legs are short, it doesn't sit high enough to keep the yogurt from sitting in the moisture.

I'm not sure about that since I've never tried straining cooking oil with it. However, the strainer is lined with a nice fine mesh, so it should do the job.

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 am not sure, I've never done it, but think it would be OK. The mesh is very fine. Sometimes I use the strainer to sift gluten free flours and cocoa powder together (brownies, cake ingred.); it is so fine my kosher salt won't always fit through the mesh.

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).

I don't know what to tell you. It works just like that for me. How thick is your yogurt when you put it in?

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.

The holes are smaller than a normal strainer. I think it would work well as a yogurt strainer.

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

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.

Actually greek yogurt is a thick product. You can achieve with straining liquid. Even a regular strainer lined to allow the liquid to drain is what you should do.

I think it would work. I use it to strain curds and whey that I make. I prefer to double it over so it's 2 layers and then I put it in my mesh strainer and it works great. It's very durable. I hand wash and air dry it and then fold it up and store in a plastic bag in between uses. It's very large so you will cut a piece to fit your strainer.

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".

It holds a quart. When I make yogurt (starting with a half gallon of milk) I fill the strainer twice to drain all the yogurt, and depending on how long I let it drain (do I want yogurt "cheese" or greek-style?) I'll end up with a quart, more or less, of strained yogurt.

Its hard to give a full answer because it isn't clear what you are trying to do with this. It doesn't hold anything. It is a funnel. I would say the capacity is about a half-litre or a little less. This is not a milk strainer one would use in cheese-making to strain raw milk. If you are using it to strain boiled milk to remove the skin that forms, it would probably work, though the small removable strainer might clog.ANd I don't think you would need a funnel for that anyway.

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