CuisiproYogurt Cheese Maker, Green

I’ve started making homemade yogurt to keep my food shopping bills down. This item really helps to turn the yogurt into thick Greek style yogurt! It’s really well made and easy to clean.

Good. Does what it says. Clean and hygenic way, no mess.

The mesh is just not fine enough. I am using whole milk, 5% greek thick yogurt, and an instant pot (yogurt program or sous vide program at 43C, 8-10 hours. The result is very nice and creamy plain yogurt.However, the Cuisipro Yogurt Cheese Maker's mesh is just not fine enough to strain the yogurt. A lot of the yogurt goes straight through. Maybe the product is great for making cheese but I absolutely cannot recommend it for greek yogurt. I will probably get a finer mesh sieve or a cheese cloth.Aside from the above, it is difficult to remove the mesh insert, lazy design, and it doesn't hold nearly as much yogurt as it should for this price. The outer box seems of decent quality, the insert seems flimsy and there are several areas where the mesh shines through the white plastic as if the molding process wasn't all that great.Sending it back.

Owned a basic yoghurt maker for a while and kinda got put off by watery results. This strainer has totally transformed my yoghurt! It turns an edible but watery yogurt into a thick, creamy delight! It is a little costly but it'll more than pay for itself in a matter of months:)

Very useful and easy to use

Far too expensive but only sealable fuss-free strainer that I could find

Really good, easy to use and clean

I took the plunge to purchase this, notwithstanding some negative reviews, principally to make Labneh from bought yoghurt. It is a simple device made from quality materials: in effect a lidded box with its own internal, well made, metal sieve. I drained an already excellent, 500g pot of top of the line yoghurt from Waitrose, to 335g overnight. This filled the device half-way, so it would take 1 litre. Some say it’s too small—I disagree. After all, the resultant product should be consumed within a week or two, unless stored immersed in olive oil, and at my calculated 149 kCal per 100g, there are limits as to how much of it one should eat per day. The sieve rinsed out easily under the tap, and I put the 3 parts in the dishwasher top shelf later that day. I recommend it and shall keep it even though I have other, similar equipment with glass jars and nylon sieves, and could use a metal bowl and sieve in the fridge, or a tied cheese-cloth suspended from my kitchen tap. It’s a convenient size for my large fridge, makes sufficient for one or two persons in a residential setting, is well made and the lid prevents the Labneh absorbing other, unwanted flavours.
