I have reluctatnly purchased it but cringed when thinking about all the EXTRA's they add... Cannot wait to try your versions! Another great tool for straining things is a box of the cheapest knee hi's you can find. I launder them in a lingerie bag, put them in a ziplock bag & keep them in a kitchen drawer. they make great yogurt cheese hangers!

OH, my - I did make a serious mess of the kitchen, using waaaaaaaay more stuff than was necessary to make yogurt! But, next time it will not be so complicated. Or messy! The result is cooling now in the refrigerator. Made with a half gallon whole milk, a good quality organic yogurt, and will make about half of it (some, anyway) into yogurt "cheese" later. It's already soooo yummy! This is going to be something we really enjoy around here. Great flavor. Looks like the texture wil be outstanding as well. Will be super duper wonderful with homemade granola, maybe some jam, maybe just a few drops of honey. Oh my... :snoopy: Finally, FINALLY, got around to trying this yesterday.

I had a Salton maker years ago and kept yogurt 'cooking' almost constantly! I do like the new way with only one quart jars, much easier! Well, I just made my 1st batch in years.....its delish! I put the jars next to the woodstove, it took about 8 hours to ferment and thicken. Next time I am trying the crockpot method! Thanks again for the great idea!

I came out perfect and we've had a blast with it and trying different flavors with the cheese. First one was chives, garlic and cayenne pepper. This one I have in the fridge now has parmesan and pepper mixed into it (and some salt). Thank you so much for sharing these ideas and lessons. It is such fun and will save us money so we can afford to eat more yogurt again (cheaper to make it than to buy the tubs). What sort of things have you used the yogurt cheese for?

As a treat when we were sick, my mom would stir in a couple tablespoons of orange juice concentrate. Ooooh, it is wonderful! And orange yogurt is not a flavor you come across very often.

Works perfectly every time.
