Winco CCB-8R Bouillon Strainer: Will this strainer strain yogurt for thicker yogurt or yogurt cheese without using a cheesecloth?

It will strain yogurt to make Greek yogurt without a coffee filter or cheesecloth; however, some of the curds will make it into the whey. You cannot "plop" or pour the yogurt into it that you are going to strain or the force of gravity will push the curds through the holes in the strainer. You have to scoop the yogurt and place it gently into the strainer with something like a cup measurement. Even then, I'll get a couple of tablespoons of curds in with my whey. If I place a small coffee filter in the very bottom, the problem is completely eliminated and it makes cleanup even easier. Although it is not absolutely perfect for making Greek yogurt, I'm glad I purchased it. I didn't realize how much I would use this huge strainer in my kitchen for other things such as straining homemade soups and large batches of water kefir. It works fine for me, but like I said in my review, it may not do a good enough job for others who want a yogurt strainer that requires no insert at all and is fine enough to eliminate all curds from the whey.

I am not sure how you would use it to make foam.... But I know it was not fine enough to strain yogurt. I too spooned a bit of yogurt in first and it still let too much yogurt through. Still need cheese cloth or coffee filters.

I've never seen one. I use a LARGE Pyrex canister when I use mine, and use it for straining whey off homemade yogurt; the plastic rim fits the opening perfectly and the liquid drains well without having to hold it. I'm pretty sure this would work for almost every application, though.

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 am sorry to say I do not know. At a glance, I don't think so. I also have a Squeezo wannabe strainer that I use for tomatoes and there is a berry screen available for it that has pretty tiny holes. If you have to remove the seeds from berries, you might look at the Victorio (or other brands) fruit strainer. My wannabe is a Norpro that has served me well for many years.

Yes, that is correct. I use an 8 cup Pyrex handled bowl to make the yogurt and when it has finished processing I pour the yogurt into the strainer and let it drain until it is to the consistency of my liking.

Are you using the correct proportion and the right kind of culture? I have used my Donvier many times and the yogurt is consistently thick.

This is simply a straining device. It will separate solids from liquids...liquid falling through the fine wire mesh strainer thereby thickening the yogurt above. I have not used this to make non-diary yogurt.

I have only used the Greek kind as it is my favorite. Straining the yogurt after it is made will thicken it too.

yes the steamer insert can be used as a strainer, and it can be strained in increments if it wont all fit at the same time

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.

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.

There is an x grid. We really like the strainer over conventional ones. Hope this helps.

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.

It is recommended doing so only to make a thicker yogurt. I personally do not I just add 6tbsp dry milk or use my yogurt cheese maker to get the consistency I want.

I believe so. The process is similar to ricotta, correct? It strains the whey very well. I used it for yogurt and ricotta. If you just need straining ( but not pressing) it works great.
