Does this only make 'greek' yogurt?

No, if you get a working one, it will make any yogurt. The only difference between Greek and regular yogurt is Greek is strained to make it thicker.

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.

No it makes both. It takes an extra step to make the greek yogurt (straining).
618098
No. If you want plain no greek yogurt, all you need to do is to NOT strain the yogurt once done.

You could definity make regular yogurt in this if you wanted to. It includes a strainer for the last step of straining out some of the whey. You would just skip this last step for regular yogurt.

The strainer is only used if you want a thicker, "Greek" style yogurt. You can opt to not use it and just eat the yogurt as is, with the whey.

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

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.

Berry yogurt was just OK, but I preferred vanilla Greek yogurt. I'd like to try coconut and banana flavors also. My favorite chocolate "fix" is to add the mix to vanilla yogurt and eat it like frosting. I also cook one serving size in the microwave.

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.

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.

Cooks illustrated said they used coconut milk. This was the greek yogurt maker they suggested on their website.

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

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.

Yes, it does. I blend it everyday with a Greek yogurt and kefir. I do it just with a spoon and small circles. I tried it in a blender and it liquifies the yogurt too much. If you mix it in a blender it will be done in seconds. I use Vitamix. Hope you are using raw milk ( just teasing...I don't touch conventional processed milk). It will make an excellent and mainly nutritious chocolate milk.

We have never done it, but I have found a link to making Greek yogurt which is thicker using another similar dehydratorhttp://www.ehow.com/how_8342492_make-yogurt-home-excalibur-dehydrator.html

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.

You can make thick (i.e. Greek-style) yogurt by making regular yogurt with this system, and then straining it through a colander lined with a paper towel or a large coffee filter. It takes about an hour to condense the yogurt solids to half the original volume. If you strain it longer, you can actually get yogurt as thick as ricotta cheese.

I've only tried soy milk and I've usually let it go for the max time. It's not going to set up like Cows milk or ever have a Greek yogurt consistency, but it does set eventually to a slightly looser yoplait like yogurt the longer I let it go.

Hi...so many Greek yogurts are different. I love the yogurt it makes. It is expensive but does make a whole leter. I tried to make my own powered yogurt but failed. I like this so much because it doesn't use electricity I make it on our boat. It also fits on the door of our small boat fridge. Hope that helps.
