Does it make regular yogurt? (not greek)

Yes it makes regular yogurt. Only when you put it in the strainer attachment does it become Greek Yogurt.

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!

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

No you don't need to use Yogourmet starter packets! You can try other starter packets from other companies. However it is much cheaper to buy plain greek yogurt, like Fage'. Use it as you would with the starter packets.

It makes thick yogurt if you use Greek yogurt as a starring culture. Also using whole milk and adding a little heavy cream makes it thicker too

Sorry, I have not tried non-dairy yogurts. However, I can emphatically affirm that this machine makes great milk-based yogurt.

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.

it does! First you make the regular yogurt then you strain it for a couple of hours, or up to 6 hours. The longer you strain it, the thicker it`ll be. It comes with the strainer.

Yes and No.... Greek yogurt is pretty much any yogurt that has been strained to remove excess whey making it thick like sour cream consistency. The yogurt culture used and length of time it is cultured determines how tart it becomes. I allow my yogurt to ferment for 12 hours or more and use a Greek yogurt strainer basket to remove the whey, it then taste very much like sour cream (I used it as a substitute for any where I would use sour cream; making mash potatoes, on top of tacos or baked potatoes...). Or I ferment it for about 8 hours without straining the whey and it is less tart and taste more like sweet yogurt. The yogurt culture used also makes a difference in taste, and the longer it ferments the more tart or sour it taste. The yogurt bacteria produces acids and the more acids produced the more tart it is. The tartness can be controlled by picking a yogurt culture and fermentation time that suits your taste.

No but you can buy the Euro Cuisine Yogurt and Greek Yogurt maker model YM360 or YM460 with a 2 qt glass jar and you can make up to 2qt of yogurt

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.

No! I thought you could use it as that, but it is really just like an instant yogurt and doesn't even taste that good. Just get the yogurt starter in the boxes...I know they are expensive, but better than wasting money on this product. If you want to save money just use some of your last batch to get the next one started.

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

The only answer I could give you would be either because it makes regular, probiotic, and greek yogurt or because it includes recipes for 1 and 2 quarts of yogurt.

I just use regular plain 0% fat greek yogurt (Fage brand). Works fine. I have also used some of the homemade yogurt as a starter for the next batch - that worked fine too.

In the States I plug yogurt maker into my electric socket--I do not use an Adaptors. This machine makes the best greek yogurt!

Take a colindar(?) and line it with cheesecloth. Dump the yogurt in and leave it for about an hour. I love Greek yogurt as well, and it works.

I make my own yogurt, (using 2% organic cow's milk). I scald the milk, let it cool to bath water temp.-add the starter. Then I cover, and wrap the bowl in a towel and put it in the oven with the light on, overnight. The oven light will get the temperature up to get the cultures going. Strain it in a stainless steel strainer lined with a coffee filter to make Greek style. I've been doing it this way for years. Don't need a fancy appliance-the oven light method works fine.

To get Greek yogurt all you need to do is make regular yogurt. Once it is ready use coffee filters lining a strainer over a bowl. Dump the yogurt in the filter. And leave in the fridge overnight. The liquid is in the bowl, the thick sweeter Greek yogurt is left in the filter ready to use.
