Euro Cuisine GY50 Greek Yogurt Maker with Ultra Fine Mesh Strainer Basket, BPA Free, Patented Greek Yogurt Strainer for Homemade Greek Yogurt (White)

OH MY Gosh this is a great product. I have read the negative reviews and it is almost like we have different items.. We run a community house and we are fermenting foods especially yogurt and kefir ...for health and to save money. The GY50 works better than regular strainers and you can store the yogurt after you have strained it in it very easily. We tried several strainers and colandars with a variety of things in them. We work with DV victims, combat veterans, the homeless etc...many people come to us in poor health and we teach cooking and techniques for a healthy lifestyle on a low income using organic and whole foods. Making yogurt is definitely part of this process. Real Homemade Greek Yogurt is as Good or Better than store bought with no extra additives or thickeners. You can get an amazing product and it is alot cheaper which is important if you are low income and using food stamps or supplies from the food bank. We really wish Organic whole food was available to everyone. We think it would cut medical bills for the country in a big way. For us this is a health investment. We looked at many heating yogurt machines but due to volume we make on a weekly basis decided to keep our method going, which is basically to do a gallon batch each time. We use a pressure cooker to heat/cool down milk, We then put culture in and put in quart mason jars, we are moving to two quart jars purchased from Amazon.Com because they fit inside the Pressure Cooker when we are fermenting. Please note the cooker is not on heat. We just add warm water and and close the lid... and then ferment over night in the pressure cooker, then pour into Euro Cuisine CY50 Greek Yogurt Maker....this item is actually NOT a yogurt maker from the perspective that it does not ferment the yogurt, it is a full size (2) quart strainer. It is sort of like a giant coffee strainer. It holds the large size of "Nancy's Honey Cultured Yogurt" perfectly. You get several cups of whey out of it. We turn our whey into lemonade and other drinks for people to consume for the culture and health benefits which include ulcers and gasteric problems. We ferment our own yogurt as well as use Nancy's as a backup because we eat so much weekly. It is really a shame so many Americans suffer from stomach and gut problems including surgeries when they can eat their medicine and enjoy it! We tried other methods to strain yogurt but decided on this product because of the cost and the fact we do not like to strain products into paper towels or coffee filters. It is easy to clean to but we keep adding yogurt to it and putting it back in the fridge! Some of the reviews say this product is fragile. I have not experienced this. It might be because we use plastic utensils and avoid metal because with Kefir fermentation metal can change the flavor. When you first put in the yogurt it can be runny. We spoon it in and then just pour on top when we get to the bottom of our quart and two quart jars. It sets up in a few hours but if you like it extra firm let it set up overnight. Using cream or 1/2 and 1/2 during fermentation is absolutely divine. The Euro Cuisine GY50 Maker Works great either straining yogurt you just made or prepared yogurt into creamy Greek Style yogurt. We are making yogurt cheese as we speak. You just let it drain a litte bit longer. We would definitely purchase this item again. We plan on having fermenting parties to teach others how to do this. Amazon is a great place to get supplies and the prices seem to be the best. We know down the road we will want another one. Even the die hard, "I don't eat yogurt" change their minds after eating homemade Greek Yogurt. We are not kidding...it is really amazing stuff. We are plugging Nancy's Cultured products as a prepared yogurt to use because of the volume but there are many others that simply cost more. Either way it is much cheaper to make Greek Yogurt from scratch or straining your own. We paid for this Amazon purchase in in 4 cultured batches. www.harmonyhealingheartservices.org

After reading some of the reviews, I wasn't sure about this product but went ahead and ordered it anyway. I'm new to makeing Greek yogurt and tried straining using the coffee filter method - which producted great results but was messy. There had to be a better way, so tried this yougurt maker. For me I found it took longer to strain than using the coffee filters but this strainer much easier to work with. The unit has a tight fitting lid and easily fits in the fridge. I use 2% ultra filtered milk and 2 tablespoon of Greek yogurt, 8 hours on the yogurt setting of my instant pot, over night to cool in the fridge then in to the Euro Cuisine to drain for 48 hours. Perfectly thick, creamy and tastes delish every time. Turn it over on to the lid and it come out of the yogurt maker so easily! Very little to clean. Other reviewers comment on the mesh, and yes it is very fine and must be washed gently. I simply rinse it gently with warm water a little soap and let it air dry. So far used it for 4 batches and the plastic material and mesh are holding up well. No more metal strainers and coffee filters for me, I'll handle this with care and it will funtion just fine.

Been using the Euro Cuisine GY50 yogurt strainer for a couple of months and pleased to share with you the great results. This strainer allows you to process 1/2 gallon of milk into yogurt. Using an instant pot, process the milk, (heating it up to boiling, then cooling to 110 F, mix in 2 T of existing yogurt, completing the yogurt cycle. Then pouring the milk/yogurt mixture into the Euro Strainer and placing this into your refrigerator for 10-12 hours. Then you will have the best tasting yogurt, note straining longer provides a thicker yogurt. Pure yogurt, is so much better than store bought. Easy clean up with sponge, hot water and dish soap.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The GY50 yogurt strainer is fantastic! It turns regular yogurt into thick, creamy Greek yogurt with zero hassle. Easy to use, easy to clean, and the results are perfect every time. A must-have for yogurt lovers!

I’ve been making Greek yogurt for years, and this little Euro Cuisine strainer definitely makes the process easier and a lot less messy. It’s lightweight, fits nicely in the fridge, and the mesh basket is finer than most strainers I’ve tried. That said, I still get a little residual yogurt slipping into the whey, so I end up double-straining to get the texture I like. Not a deal-breaker, just something to know if you’re picky about super-thick yogurt. Cleanup is ridiculously easy — rinse with hot water and you’re basically done. And for the price, it’s a great tool that saves me from using cheesecloth or coffee filters like some sort of dairy pioneer. Overall, great little strainer that does the job. Just expect to strain twice if you want that extra-creamy, stand-the-spoon-upright consistency.

Funziona bene, no do ' 5 stelle, perché è arrivato rotto, anche se non è una rottura invalidante(la retina del filtro è staccata su un settore in alto, speriamo che non si rompa di più) e poi non è molto6a buon mercato, ma qui probabilmente incidono le tasse doganali. Con l'occasione chiedo ad Amazon se magari potremo ordinare un nuovo filtro, grazie

Es un muy buen producto, hace su función de manera excelente y si lo dejas 36 horas en el refrigerador se vuelve muy espeso tipo queso crema y queda delicioso, súpero sin duda mis expectativas, el refractario es de acrílico trasparente grueso de muy buena calidad al igual que el colador con una malla extra fina que cuela muy bien el yogur del suero dejando un muy rico y deliciosos yogurt griego, no te arrepentirás, subiré fotos de la consistencia cuando vuelva a hacer

Excelente! Iogurte fica maravilhoso !!

UPDATE - I've had this yogurt strainer for almost a year and use it almost every week. It has held up wonderfully and we so enjoy the yogurt! This strainer works very well. It will strain two litres of yogurt. Very easy to remove Greek yogurt from mesh - if you strain a lot of the whey out and make thick yogurt, you can just turn the strainer upside down onto the lid and it will come out in a somewhat solid form, so no spoon is required. It isn't dishwasher safe, but it is easy to clean (I used a foam brush). You do have to be very gentle with the strainer as it is delicate. It's a lot of money for such a simple system, but it certainly does simplify the straining of Greek yogurt.

Excellent product .. Build Quality is Top Notch and does the work beautifully . The yoghurt that is left is soft creamy and delicious .. the product is big enough to hold 4-5 half litre cans of Mother dairy Ultimate Dahi Will gladly recommend the product
