Consisting of a plastic container and a stainless-steel, fine-mesh strainer, this simple unit converts 3 cups of yogurt into 1 cup of thick, creamy yogurt cheese in about 24 hours of refrigeration. (Thickening continues for 24 hours, though a thinner yogurt cheese results in as little as 2 hours. ) The yogurt cheese then becomes a healthful, calcium-rich, low-fat alternative to cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and even whipping cream. It can be used as a spread, in salad dressings, to top baked potatoes, mixed with fruit, and to make cheesecake. The unit works by allowing the whey (liquid) in yogurt to drain away, leaving the curds behind. The container is dishwasher-safe and seals to prevent odor transfer…

Handy Dandy Yogurt Cheese/Greek Yogurt Maker
Having fooled with making yogurt cheese with cheesecloth and a strainer over a bowl, I was glad someone made a neater, tidier, easier to use product.

So, I stole it from the Yo-cheese folks – I bought their cookbook! This is the simplest and best device for making yogurt cheese. It makes yogurt “cream” in 2 hours, and yogurt cheese stiff enough to make a cheesecake overnight. A few details. If you fill the device full of yogurt, you need to dump the whey after about 1/2 hour as it gets full. After you have drained the yogurt, empty it by up-ending it into a bowl with a larger mouth than the device, otherwise you waste some of the cheese scraping it out with a spoon. I use the yogurt cheese to extend mayonaise and sour cream. I’ve made a lovely low-fat cheesecake with it, mixing it it 2/1 ratio with neufchatel cheese. I have used it in white sauces, and it makes them creamy and yummy! We bought this to incorporate yogurt cheese into our diet to got lower fat and reduce saturated fat because of cholesterol concerns. It’s a great device and it’s never not in use at our house!

Neat little cheese maker
After going through the cheese cloth routine when making my last batch of cheese, this is a Godsend. A few people remarked that it is small, and not much of a reserve…

cool yogurt cheese maker
This whole idea of yogurt cheese is new to me. I haven’t really had any and bought this when I had a bit too much wine. I like the concept and the product tastes great.

This makes a compact pyramid of tasty yogurt cheese or “laban. ” This is simply the yogurt curd with the watery portion removed. A lump of this cheese, sweetened with a touch of powdered sugar and served with strawberries is a low-fat dessert if you use non-fat yogurt. The cheese also works as a sour-cream substitute. You can even make “coeur a la creme” with it. This works better than cheesecloth and colander or sieve. If you like yogurt cheese or are on a low-fat diet, this is a handy thing to have.

Thick, rich yogurt cheese….
Making thick, rich yogurt cheese is so easy when using the Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker. To make it really delicious make a batch of yogurt in the Donvier Yogurt maker…

After purchasing Donvier’s yogurt maker, I thought this cheese maker would help me turn my softer yogurt into something thicker, a facsimile of the yogurt I tasted in Turkey and Greece. I was right — after making my own preservative and additive free yogurt in my Donvier yogurt maker, I simply poured all eight containers into the compact cheesemaker, closed the lid and let it stay overnight in the refrigerator. Voila, the next morning, I had a perfectly creamy spread to put on my whole grain toast. I used Total Greek yogurt as my starter, so my yogurt very nearly reached the perfection I have been seeking: creamy, tart and no added sugar. If you are a food perfectionist or simply do not like to buy any product loaded with corn syrup or any of the other usual suspects commonly used by manufacturers to up the taste for the general public, you will find purchasing the Donvier yogurt and cheese maker well worth the price.

Perfect
I bought one of these on Amazon the other day. It works exactly as described. I used ordinary fat-free yogurt to create strained yogurt (or yogurt cheese) in 2 hrs.

Works Well, Could Be a Bit Better
I love the yogurt after it has been strained through this, but it is the wrong size. I bought this in conjunction with the Salton 1 quart yogurt maker.

Good product
Works great and strains fairly fast (I stain off about 1 cup of whey in an hour or less) sitting on my counter.

Don’t buy it
Sorry, I bought this from a cooking store and was very disappointed. I should have listened to some of the other reviews.
