Amazon.com Review
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 while it's in the refrigerator. Simple instructions and recipes for using yogurt cheese are included. --Fred Brack

 Handy little strainer March 13, 2010
Carolyn (Columbus, Ohio)
This is a handy little accessory to have if you like yogurt cheese and recipes that contain it. The container has a great little lid which keeps the smells of the fridge out and the freshness in. It is a little smaller than I thought and that is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I would recommend it.
 I do NOT recommend this product. March 11, 2010

I have been straining yogurt in a plastic bowl with cheese cloth with great results for a long time. I thought this might be an easier way to do it, but I was wrong. The yogurt basket sits too low in this container, allowing the yogurt to "sit" in the whey. Also, I like to make very firm yogurt cheese and so I leave my yogurt in the cheese cloth up to 3 days. This did not work well in the Cuisipro Donvier. Having the yogurt in contact with the metal screen for that length of time caused the yogurt to become discolored and actually smell very "off". I threw away the entire batch of yogurt and whey.
I will never use this to separate yogurt again, unless I simply remove the screen insert and use cheese cloth instead.
 Cheese Maker! February 17, 2010
Jerika Manning (Canada)
Worked amazing, completly surpassed expectations. We use it every week, and we are now looking for different ways to use it. AMAZING PRODUCT!
L. Payne January 31, 2010
I bought two yogurt cheese makers so I could get free shipping. I can strain my entire batch of yogurt at one time because I have two of these and it is worth the money. I use a whisk to stir in real white vanilla after the yogurt is strained and I will never, ever buy yogurt again. It is much cheaper to make your own greek yogurt with these and it is the best yogurt you will ever eat besides being the freshest yogurt you will ever eat.
Wonderful cheese! Dishwasher warped the box. January 23, 2010
Stephen 7n5K (Ashland, OR USA)
I also love this yogurt cheese maker. The yogurt cheese is delicious.
Two things: 1) I haven't noticed anyone with the idea of re-pouring the white part of the liquid whey that collects under the strainer back over the yogurt cheese in the strainer, to produced even more yogurt cheese. Sometimes I have very little white whey, but with some batches there is quite a lot. I scoop out most of the yogurt cheese to use or save, and leave a small amount on the bottom of the strainer to catch the white liquid whey when I pour it back in. I just wait a few hours like the first time, and then have even more yogurt cheese. 2) I put the plastic lid and box of the yogurt cheese maker in my dishwasher, and it warped the box's sides inwards, so I now have to put a strong rubber band around it and the lid, which no longer will attach to the upper sides of the box.
