If you want to strain off the whey for a thicker yogurt, line the strainer with a double layer of cheese cloth.

If you want to strain the yogurt to separate out the whey, these strainers are not fine enough mesh, I think. I use them constantly for kefir.

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

I have not used this colander to strain yogurt, as I have a very fine mesh strainer for that purpose. I think that the holes in the colander are a bit too big, so a little of the yogurt might seep through them in addition to the whey.

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

I agree with you. It should be three times bigger. However, yogurt takes a long time to create and Greek yogurt even longer. You have to decide if it's worth the trouble or keep looking for a way to make bigger batches. I have read that some people make yogurt in slow cookers. But then, you need a really big strainer for Greek yogurt.

You would need to strain the yogurt with either cheesecloth or a Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker which I use.My review for this product has my recipe in it and you can strain that yogurt for fage or greek yogurt.

You could definity make regular yogurt in this if you wanted to. It includes a strainer for the last step of straining out some of the whey. You would just skip this last step for regular yogurt.

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.

Yes you can but first I would put the old ones in a strainer and rinse them very well just i case there is any mold on them and then and then start all over again and replace back into where ever you had them in warm water let them grow to the size you want strain them and place them where ever you want. I hope this helps

Yes, so you can use the 7 little (6-oz) glass jars that come with, or 3 quart-size canning jars, or whatever jar you have that's about that size. P.S. I'm beyond pleased with this yogurt maker! It works really well!

Yes, you can use yogurt from your last batch...however!!! I've never done it. The reason? Because my homemade yogurt has always been so GOOD that I've eaten Every Bite and didn't have any left to use as a starter for the next batch!!

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.

You can use yogurt from your last batch to make the next batch. Keep in mind the batch size does shrink down when strained meaning you won't have as much to enjoy for eating. I keep a store bought container around for starter. I keep the homemade for enjoyment.

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.

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 personally would not. The tomatoes are very runny / juicy after being put through the strainer. I use the tomatoes for bloody mary mix and marinara sauce after they are strained. Hope that helps!

I think it would be quite good to strain almonds for almond milk. Less messy than the bag, too.
