Would this work for straining yogurt?

Yes, but I use a finer mesh when straining my kefir and yogurt. All my strainers are stainless steel.

No, I have tried it for cheese. But if you line with a single layer of muslin, it will help keep the shape. Muslin is fine enough for straining just about anything. It is commonly used in the recyclable tea bags because of this.

I use it to strain homemade ricotta. Line with cheese cloth and it will be fine.

Yes, I put my couscous in it to know for sure and it definitely will strain couscous. It is a very large strainer though. You could dump the contents of a Dutch oven into it.

Though I have not actually tried it, I think that straining oil would work fine. I have used mine to fish debris out of very fatty beef stock and did not have any of the fat resist passing through the mesh.

This strainer is not made for liquids ,its not fine enough and it has bigger holes in the middle plastic cylinder ,unless nut milk is thick like joghurt it will not work.

Yes, this is a strainer. You'd need to purchase regular yogurt, or make a batch of regular yogurt prior to using it. But it does a great job converting into Greek yogurt. About 24 hours or so in the fridge.

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.

Yes. However, you are limited on height and area. To make best use of this yogurt maker, I'd recommend using the supplied jars.

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

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

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.

Yes, great for straining, but it is flimsy. However, as much as I have been expecting it to break, it hasn't. I use it quite often.

I can strain 3 quarts of yogurt at one time in this - there is not room for more yogurt. So I would say no, a gallon of yogurt will not fit all at one 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.

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.

I think it would. It is a very fine strainer and of excellent quality. I have rinsed lentils and dried peas without losing any.

I am not sure. My wife says that it probably would work but you can grind it into a fine mesh strainer to make sure. Sorry I can't be more help.

This is a STRAINER, not a yogurt MAKER. I use it to strain my dairy yogurt after it is made...it strains the liquid whey and a more solid, Greek yogurt, remains. If you need a strainer to make your non-dairy yogurt I do not see why it would not work. If a strainer is what you need, this one works great. It is a fine mesh.
