Euro Cuisine GY60 Greek Yogurt Maker with Ultra Fine Mesh Stainless Steel Strainer Basket, BPA Free, Patented Greek Yogurt Strainer, Ideal for Healthy Homemade Yogurt, Dips, and Desserts

I was reluctant to purchase this strainer after reading a few reviews about it cracking or failing. However, I did buy it three months ago, and I have used it constantly since then. I like my yogurt rather tangy, so I let age in my Instant pot for about 24 hours. Then I strain it in my EuroCuisine strainer for at least 24 hours. This makes the best, creamiest yogurt imaginable -- almost like cream cheese.As for durability, I can't imagine how one could crack the outer bowl, probably rough handling. The strainer itself is fragile. That's the nature of the beast or it wouldn't be a strainer. Mine never goes in the dishwasher. I just rinse it with very hot tap water, and it cleans up nicely.I am grateful I purchased it, and it has made straining Greek yogurt so much easier.

I was reading other reviews before buying and am commenting on my first experience with it.Nicely designed. Great mesh. If you have problems with your yogurt batch leaking through, try running your yogurt longer before going to this stage.I went to my desired consistency, draining my yogurt. It was in the fridge overnight. Lovely texture and great taste.When I took yogurt out of the screen, I put it into cold water right away and let it soak while I was fishing the yogurt and packing it into a jar. I had no problem cleaning it and had it done in less than a minute. The container is great.I find it sturdy and adequate in the way it is made. Just take care of it.I would highly recommend this product and if need be, would buy it again. It really made the process easier and with great results.

Works very well and is easy to clean. Just make sure you spray it down right after making yogurt or the yogurt sticks to the fine mesh. Has held up great and I use it often. I’ll be buying a second one since it doesn’t quite hold all the yogurt made from a gallon of milk.

This strainer makes the process simple, quick and relatively easy to clean up, but does not sell a bunch of bells and whistles to the consumer which in my opinion do not add any value.The basket on this product has much more surface area through which the yogurt can drain, than do the vast majority of others which have less mesh/screen and more solid plastic through which the yogurt of course cannot drain. So, this product produces a thicker consistency not only faster, but with less fiddling with it to move the yogurt to where it can drain through the mesh/screen.For me it was worth spending the extra money to get this version, which has the stainless screen rather than nylon mesh because the screen is a stronger material and should hold up better to repeated use/washing. However, If I were draining kefir for making kefir cheese, the right choice would be the nylon mesh as kefir/kefir grains reacts to metal and while some claim that stainless steel is OK, I choose not to potentially risk the health of what helps to keep me healthy!I also really like that the lid is flexible and easy to snap on/off of the bowl and it doesn't require clamps to hold it in place. One of the reasons I returned a different brand was that the top used clamps which would not secure properly to the bowl, making it likely that it would leak yogurt all over the refrigerator if someone really bumped it.I'm glad that I purchased this product, as in my opinion, it is better designed and built than most. Expecting it to continue provide good service for a long time to come, I do recommend it.

This is perfect for my use - straining my homemade yogurt. I should have ditched the cheesecloth and strainer method sooner! That took me too long to set up, as I did not have all the right sizes of each to fit easily into the fridge. This paid for itself in speed and ease of use the first time. It is so easy-peasy, and fits on the shelf just fine. I have strained 20 hours because I forgot and had no problems removing the yogurt. The easiest way to remove is to take off the black top, put a plate on top of the black strainer, and flip. The whey stays in the bottom bowl. After the yogurt falls down to the plate (this can take a few minutes), I scoop it into my container. I think this is easier than spooning out. The mesh is pretty fragile I think, so I don't want to damage it by spooning out. I do use silicon spatulas to skim out the last bits as needed. The whey pours out of the bowl very easily. I immediately fill the bowl with soapy water and add the strainer to soak for a few minutes. It rinses out clean just fine. I never put in my dishwasher. Highly recommend!
