Do you think this strainer is fine enough to replace cheesecloth for clarifying butter? (I'm really mostly concerned with the casein/curds, not whey.)

I think so. I use it to strain my homemade Greek yogurt and I am very happy with it.

I doubt it. I'd give the Euro Cuisine GY50 Greek Yogurt Maker a try or purchase some fine stainless mesh (300 or so) and make my own strainer by lining a colander with it. Amazon has the mesh in different sizes.

Type in the following words using the ALL Search: Cone Filters, 50 Per Box, 50/CA I would think this would be better, using paper filters, typically used in restaurants. The Winco Strainer will still let in sediment. Maybe you could just use a single layer of cheesecloth. Hope this helps.

Well it would definately remove any vanilla bean halves and any other residue you might not want in your ice cream custards. If you make things that need straining frequently it will be worth the purchase. I love this strainer, my biggest problem with it, is finding another container large and deep enough to set it in when I'm using it.

I have only used it for Feta cheese. I would think it would be all right as my Feta cheese is creamy.

I expect it would work, but you might need a liner (like a coffee filter) in the strainer to avoid having it pour through. When I put my yogurt in, it's already fairly thick.

It works fine for soft cheeses if you use the large caliber grater. I'd estimate a 2" x 2" chunk at a time.

It would be perfect for that, yes. The only issue you might find is that it is small. I use it to strain my kefir grains or the yuck out of the bottom of my kombucha brewer, but when I want to strain the whey from kefir to make kefir cheese, I use the Kefir Cheese Making Strainer by Alpha Health Products. Also, of course, good old cheesecloth will work.

Pretty sure the answer is you can use the strainer. The mesh is extremely fine!

Sorry, I don't know. I use a hand grater for small amounts and a Breville sous chef for large amounts. I would imagine that for sticky cheeses it wouldn't work so well, but why not try it with some cubes of parmesan or other firm cheese?

It is great for straining chicken stock. I do it all the time. In fact, I'm going to look for a larger size, because I use it for everything I would use cheesecloth for.

The screen is small enough to retain particles up to very small size, so it will eliminate those. I have found it more than satisfactory for my needs. However, it won't have the effect of fine cheesecloth, but it's a lot easier and quicker to clean!

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

I have never tried to strain such items. I use this item for making so-called Greek yogurt. You could get Online and ask the company rep. If the item would work for your needs. Good luck. GINNY

The best way to strain nut milk that I've found is to use a *CLEAN* nylon stocking or some cheese cloth... it sounds funny but works like a charm. Any strainer will have holes that are to big and these methods work really well.

I strain kefir, which is like lumpy buttermilk. If the custard is hot, it will cause the plastic strainer to start to melt.

Yes, is good but you should put a sponge around of the input strainer. I have a sponge around and all goes good.Good luck.

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