I am not sure what you mean by Greek yogurt, but this great for draining all the whey off of the yogurt to make a nice thick yogurt

Yoghurt cheese is just another name for greek yoghurt, so yes, that is exactly what this is for.

This yogurt maker makes regular yogurt. If you want Greek yogurt all you have to strain the yogurt afterwards in the strainer provided. If you just want regular yogurt you skip the last step.

All Greek yogurt is is yogurt that has more of the whey removed from it when it is yogurt. However, if you are looking for a thicker richer version of yogurt, you can use 1/2 half & half & 1/2 regular milk to make a very thick Greek yogurt like consistency in this machine. This is what I use & do. Heavy cream makes it more watery, so dont try that thinking it will make it thicker. It wont.

Yes of course. It becomes of greek yogurt consistency if you put the contents in the strainer and let the whey/liquid drain. Up to you!

My girlfriend buys plain Greek yogurt all the time because she likes the firmness of the yogurt. After using a yogurt maker she was able to get a firm yogurt that is comparable or even firmer than the Greek yogurt at the store. She does use gelatin and boils it with the milk. Skim milk too (0g of fat) is able to set.

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?

Yes, I think it would hold that much, but I've not tried that amount. I make a five-cup serving of regular yogurt and add it to the Euro Cuisine Greek Yogurt maker. Once it's drained for about 3 hours I remove the strained yogurt and add another five-cup serving of regular yogurt to drain. I've not tried to fill the entire maker with regular yogurt.

I used 3 different ones and it worked in all. Never tried a large 1 Quart yogurt maker.

Yes! To make greek style, you first need to make regular yogurt in the yogurt maker. When it's done, let it cool, then strain it for several hours through a coffee filter or cheese cloth and a fine mesh strainer to remove the whey. This creates thick, rich greek style yogurt.

I don't see why not. I was in a restaurant and they used it to dispense Greek yogurt and that worked!

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.

I tried to make almond milk yogurt with this starter in an Instant Pot with the yogurt making function with no success. I have also unsuccessfully tried cashew and coconut milk. I am actually an testing it right now to make sure it is actually alive. If I find it to be a dud, I will follow up here. I did end up purchasing GI Pro Start (also vegan) that I have found a bit more successful.

To make Greek Yogurt will need need to use a cheese strainer or make your own type of strainer by putting about 4 coffee filters in a colander and pouring the yogurt into it. Let it set overnight in the refrig and you should be good to go. Greek yogurt is thick due to the excess whey being removed.

I use any good PLAIN Greek Yogurt, but a good PLAIN regular yogurt will work as well -- just look to see if it has active cultures (most all of them do) and I get it at the supermarket.

Yes I have been making frozen yogurt in it all summer. I have used a great receipe from King Arthur flour. I know odd place for a frozen yogurt receipe but it tastes great. I have used artificial sweetners. Works just fine

I have not but would be interested in knowing how to make my own cheese from this milk. I use this milk to make my homemade yogurt thicker like Greek style yogurt.

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.
