what quantity of yogurt will the mess-free strainer hold? (the strainer to make Greek yogurt).

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.

32oz down to 22-24oz. On my 4th batch now. Very happy with it. I stopped straining it unless im using it as a sour cream substitute and just eat the whey for added protein.

It holds a little less than the smaller of the two containers used to make the yogurt, I would say about 2 - 3 cups. When I strain it I have to add about 2/3 of the yogurt and wait for it to strain, empty the whey then add the rest of the yogurt.

I think if I wanted to make "regular" yogurt I would just use plain yogurt as my starter instead of using Greek yogurt as a starter. I don't know about draining it or not since I have only made Greek yogurt. but my assumption would be that you would still have to drain it some. But that is just my opinion since I have never made "regular" yogurt. But I don't know if the cooking time would be different....probably not.

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.

Tanya, I get a little package of plain yogurt to start mine. It works great. I make the greek yogurt. You will have to strain it to make Greek yogurt. Mine tastes better than the Fage brand. I use2 tablespoons of Fage to start mine, so I can eat the rest. But you can start it with regular yogurt. I am thinking about doing a Youtube about how to do it. I have some great tips that will make it easy to do

My apologies for our delay in response... Yogurt is popular to make in the Wonderbag. We will be posting a recipe on our blog soon. I will post a link to your question as soon as we have it up!

Hi Everett,Our Greek yogurt makers come wiith 2 BPA free plastic containers which holds about 7 cups each. You would use one at a time and have the ability to use the second container to start a new batch right away if you wish. I hope this answers your question!

I have not used it as a yogurt strainer but the holes are small enough for me to strain lentils if that helps.

Yes! To make greek style, you first need to make regular yogurt in the yogurt maker. When it's done, let it cool, then strain it for several hours through a coffee filter or cheese cloth and a fine mesh strainer to remove the whey. This creates thick, rich greek style yogurt.

2.75 inches it is a lovely strainer. I use it to drain my yogurt for tzatziki sauce and wash my quinoa ,so it is quite fine. I actually measured this with a ruler.

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

You end up with about a 1 1/2 cups. I also have a "regular" yogurt maker which is easier to use. When I want to make greek yogurt, I just strain it and use the whey for something else. It tastes the same as using the greek yogurt maker only less steps

Well I use this in conjunction with the greek yogurt strainer which is a very fine mesh strainer (you can buy this separately). So once the yogurt is made in the yogurt maker, I pour yogurt into the greek strainer to finish the process. Individual jars would make this process difficult because you would have to empty each of the jars either into the greek yogurt strainer or a bag that comes with this yogurt maker. I bought the strainer option because I didn't want to mess with a bag and hanging it for drainage etc. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, ask. :)

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.

I don't know how to answer your question. To mske it greek, just strain in a filter or strainer. This allows the luquid to pass thru into a bowl or draon. Greek is just thicker cause less liquid in the yogurt.

the oven you already own with the light left on overnight is a perfect yogurt maker. no need to buy anything. but then again, an old T shirt makes a perfect yogurt strainer as well. tie the bottom in a knot, dump in the yogurt, and hang it up over the sink or over a bowl if you want to keep the whey.

The EuroCuisine is my choice. It can hold a half gallon of yogurt for straining. The netting/mesh is delicate and I would urge you to wask it immediately after dumping the finished product or you will never get the dried yogurt out of the mesh. Pushing or rubbing it will break it; I know. Also, although they say it cannot be run in the dishwasher, I regularly do so and just don't use a dryer setting. Enjoy!

I don't strain yogurt, but it's fine enough to rinse Chia seeds and amaranth. Those are both very tiny seeds
