Donvier 837426 Yogurt Cheese Maker, 1-Pack, White

The media could not be loaded. ####Original Review on Mar 20, 2013####I've purchased a super easy to use yogurt maker, but soon found out the homemade yogurts are too watery to my liking. I don't really want to mess with the cheese cloth, so, I gave this product a try.As advertised, this is very simple to use. You ...1. Make yogurt2. Pour Yogurt into this strainer3. Leave it alone for a while4. Enjoy creamy yogurt!As you can see in the video, I use a 24 oz mason jar, and it is about the right portion for this.Things I like about this item:1. Easy to use, easy to store2. Sturdy, good quality3. Very few items to wash in the yogurt-making processThings I don't like as much about this item:1. Not so easy to clean, but I am not sure if any strainers are easy to clean2. Like few reviews had mentioned, the mesh is not fine enough, a portion of curds still get through. I will try to pour it more slowly next time to see if that helps any. However, it's not a large percentage. I still think it is acceptable.3. Although it works fine with me, but I can see if you have a larger family, this might be too small for you.Overall, I feel happy about my purchase. It integrated many functions into the design and made creamy Greek style yogurt very simple. I would highly recommend this to anyone whose considering making their own yogurt.I am new to video reviews, if you have any comments or suggestions, or anything you would like to know about this bag, please feel free to comment.####Updated Review on April 14, 2013####I have been using the strainer and have been happy with it. I always started my yogurt with store-purchased yogurt, typically, Chobani, and have not used a real yogurt stater.After I started the first batch using the store-purchased yogurt, I make the sequencial batches from a spoon of yogurt the previous batch. This usually last 4 or 5 "generations", then I take a yogurt break, and restart the cycle from Chobani. I have made appx 5-8 batches, and all worked satisfactorily. My most recent batch was made from a store branded greek yogurt, and the produced yogurt thinner than usual. More of the curd ran through the mesh. The subsequential batch made from this, was so thin, it ran through the mesh completely. So, I guess yogurt starter really made some differences. if you find your yogurt ran through the mesh, you might want to experiment with different yogurt starter.

I have used this cheese maker almost every day and now have two so that I can really do more experimenting (like allowing the yogurt to set for a longer period of time without compulsively removing it to "see" what it looks and tastes like -- which is always good, no matter what!I will point out the best use, for sake of space and time, and that is for those who make their own yogurt. I love the thinner properties of my homemade yogurt but often I would like to have it thicker and this is the way to do it. First (I got this excellent tip from another review) line the bottom of the Donvier sieve with a commercial (low fat, full fat, vanilla) yogurt, like Nancy's, Dannon, Fage Greek, and then pour in your homemade yogurt -- you can start small or fill it up, put the lid on and place in the fridge. Even if you wait only 2-3 hours, the consistency is pretty nice. If you like it, turn it out, stir it up and then do it again. Either with a new batch of home made or putting what you poured out back in (still may not be thick enough to go without a liner, though.) I have finally gotten to the point, where I have made a thick enough home made yogurt (through sieving) where I can use it for a liner.Also, find a plastic container that is shaped in a square similar in size to the wide part of the sieve. This way you can turn it over and with a slight tap or shake, the yo-cheese plops out into the container without any fuss or mess. That's my favorite part :).I sometimes use low-fat ricotta cheese as a liner, or mix it in -- and the light sweetness goes well with many desert items and fruits. I could go on and on, but at this price, buy two. If nothing else, you can give to a friend as a great gift! You can be a super busy person and still be able to fit this in...so easy and success is assured every time.

I have had one of these but couldn't find it in my pantry, so I ordered another one. It really is a wonderful thing if you are into yogurt making as I am. My husband and I use yogurt with fruit added or in certain recipes. I also put a teaspoon in our dogs' food and as I am a dog trainer, I checked with my vet friend who said a couple teaspoons a day are fine and are a good probiotic. This item is easy to clean and works very well. And instead of buying Greek yogurt, you can save money doing this yourself and use your own regular yogurt. A good buy!

Me gustó, compare con tela para queso, la diferencia con este: lo usé para hacer yogur griego, con este producto quedó más cremoso y prácticamente filtra solo el suero, se va muy poco de lo sólido, pero en realidad muy poco, así que me encantó y el tamaño es ideal para una persona.

I was a little reluctant given the price but I am completely satisfied with my purchase. On the white model I received the mesh is metal. It works perfectly for making a nice thick spreadable cheese from greek yogurt. I am getting a much better texture than I had been using a foil coffee filter. It is very nicely designed and it fits neatly in my refrigerator. It accommodates a 650 g container of greek yogurt which I measured to be 3 cups (24 fluid ounces) so that would only be three quarters of a one quart container but around here they sell regularyogurt in 750 g containers that might just barely fit.

Come da titolo: è una scatolina, con un filtro, per fare il labneh in casa. Tra l'altro una porzione piuttosto piccola.

It’s an expensive gadget but very useful if you hang curd regularly. Very simple to use and fantastic quality.

Pas du tout adapté a mes besoins c est juste un filtre dans un boîteJe souhaitais pouvoir confectionner du formage blanc avec et donc étuver a 36 degrés et la contenance est vraiment trop faible
