yes, to make Greek yogurt after 6 hours you would drain the yogurt in the refrigerator over night.

The consistency of the yogurt I make with half and half is thick enough to stick a heavy spoon in and it doesn't move. I find the smell of Greek yogurt offensive. Obviously that is not a road I would travel. With the right starter and a bit of experimentation with fermenting times you can probably make any yogurt. I ended up buying two separate containers and tops. Good unit. Small footprint on countertop. Very pleased with it.

Greek yogurt is a matter of what you do with the yogurt this yogurt maker makes after it's done. It becomes Greek style when you strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth lined strainer.

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.

All you need to do to make greek yogurt is to strain it. You can either use cheesecloth, or you can you a extra large coffee filter (like from a professional size drip). I usually strain mine overnight. You may find you want to drain it longer to get the thickness you like.

Yogurt naturally has whey in it. Whey is a slightly yellow, watery liquid. You control the thickness of yogurt by the amount of whey liquid it has. When you make homemade, natural yogurt, it is about as thick as most store bought yogurts (non-Greek style). To increase the thickness you would strain out some whey liquid. I do this by using the Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker, which is just a small plastic box containing another box inside which has a metal screen for a bottom. I put the yogurt that I made in the CYM-100 into the Yogurt Cheese Maker and put that into the fridge for 1 hour. When I take it out I have super thick yogurt in the inner box and whey liquid in the bottom of the outer box (which I pour out). Greek yogurt is just super-thick yogurt. Using this strainer I can make yogurt that is thicker than any Greek yogurt that you can buy in the store. I LUVLUVLUV the yogurt that the CYM-100 and the Yogurt Cheese Maker create (and I *do* like it thick). Just google "how to make Greek yogurt" for a lot more info.

We use it in a Ygourmet instead of the plastic container and it works well but I don't know for the Dash greek yogurt maker...

I use it with my homemade yogurt to drain out the liquid and get the thickness I love in greek yogurt. This works very well, but remember to be very careful when scraping sides/bottom as mesh is thin. After I use mine I clean immediately, soapy water, good swish and rinse and its still holding up very well.

No, but they have a facebook page and I posted the question there. There's no info on the website and also, please see my comment that you have to double the amount of yogurt starter used in order for the yogurt to firm up. If used as directed it is a watery mess. If you use a whole box for 10 cups of yogurt it comes out great.

From what I've read, Greek yogurt is higher in protein, lower in carbs and sugar (lactose), but higher in fat than regular yogurt. I believe much of the probiotics are in the whey, so I still try to use the whey after using this strainer. I've used whey 1:1 as a replacement for milk in pancakes and waffles.

I have never made yogurt, so I don't know. It works very well however for kefir.

No it makes both. It takes an extra step to make the greek yogurt (straining).

Amazon.com sells it. I saw it when I did a general search for yogurt makers. Thanks for answering my question.

I have not, but you can. It comes with some recipes, and I believe it even has some frozen yogurt recipes.

Any yogurt can be "greek style" all you have to do is strain the whey out to the desired thickness. You can do this with the yogurt maker you have by lining a colander with cheese cloth and draining the yogurt. What makes this maker nice is it comes with a strainer that you can pop in the dishwasher when done. Much less messy and I really like this yogurt maker.

Yes it comes with a recipe book. The book is small and explains how to make yogurt and the does and don'ts when making it. It suggests alternative ingredients and instructions on Greek yogurt as well.

Yes. If you want Greek yogurt, however, all of the yogurt will not fit so you must empty the jars into the strainer for as long as you want to, wash/dry the jars, put it back into the jar after straining, then strain the contents of the large bin, or the other way around.

The flavor will depend on the recipe you use. i use a Dannon plain yogurt as a 'starter', milk and a little sugar (to feed the organism in the yogurt) and it tastes like an unflavored plain Greek yogurt. To get it thick like a Greek yogurt, i drain the excess liquid out through a cheesecloth. FYI, this yogurt maker has no electronics. It works like a thermos where the heat comes from hot water that is added to the outside container. The yogurt is in the inner container.

Label doesn't list it. I used it, it turned out ok, but I'm now using plain, Greek yogurt as a starter.

Yes, it will. :) You'll want to add some, let it sit and decide if it's thick enough for you before adding more. You -can- get a slight bit of breakdown over time because of the enzymes in the yogurt, but it's very rare and usually homemade yogurt is eaten far before it's a problem.

I store my yogurt in mason jars. Determine how many cups your container will hold and that will be the amount of milk you will use to make your yogurt. When making Greek yogurt in the strainer it will reduce the amount by half. I can fill up a small mason jar with the Greek yogurt. I found I can safely set the mason jar in the yogurt maker without damage to the jar. That makes it easy to just put in the refrigerator. If I want a larger amount then I use the white container that came with the unit.

Yes, as stated in other responses...Greek yogurt is the same as regular yogurt, but strained and thickened.
