Ultimate Yogurt Strainer

I’ve been using the Ultimate Greek Yogurt Strainer and I love it. I’m already on my fourth batch of homemade Greek yogurt and don’t think I’m going back to store-bought. The strainer is easy to use, easy to clean, and the yogurt comes out thick, creamy, and way cheaper than what you get at the store. Here’s how I make it: Heat 2 quarts (8 cups) of whole milk to about 180°F Let it cool down to around 110°F For the first batch, I used a yogurt starter powder. For every batch after that, I’ve used about 3 to 4 tablespoons of the previous batch as the starter Let it ferment in the Instant Pot or a warm spot for 12-16 hours. Once set, pour it into the Ultimate strainer and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours, depending on how thick you want it You get thick, smooth Greek yogurt, and you can save the leftover whey for other recipes. Pro: Makes creamy yogurt with less sugar and more protein Simple to clean Saves a lot of money over time Large enough capacity for big batches (up to 2.3 quarts) Con: No issues at all so far If you’ve ever wanted to make your own Greek yogurt, this is the tool to get. It’s reliable, easy to use, and pays for itself after just a few uses. I’m four batches in and already hooked.

I looked around, and was swayed by the ratings on this product. This is one of those rare products that actually lives up to its ratings. This works amazingly! Happily making yogurt at home now. I am worried about the strainer liner, and how it will hold up, but I am hoping with hand washing and careful use, that it remains intact.

Love it, so easy to use.

I’m overall very pleased with this yogurt strainer. It makes the whole process much simpler and handles a surprising amount—about 1.5 gallons of milk (I like to use organic grass fed milk) turned into yogurt in my crockpot, can be strained in two batches using this strainer. For me, it takes roughly 24 hours in the fridge per batch to reach a nice, thick Greek‑yogurt consistency, and the results have been consistently good. I’ve even considered buying a second strainer just to speed things up when I’m doing large batches because it takes about 48 hours total straining the two batches with only one strainer. Cleanup is easy, too. The main container goes right on the top rack of the dishwasher without any issues. The only thing I’ve changed is how I wash the lid; it warped slightly on the top rack, so I hand‑wash that part now. Overall, it’s a solid, convenient tool for anyone making homemade yogurt, especially in larger quantities.

SECOND UPDATE: The seller contacted me based on my review and gave me a refund, even though I didn’t ask for it since I think the break was my fault. I had already replaced the broken strainer with the exact same one because it makes amazing Greek yogurt. UPDATE: As others mentioned the lid is difficult to get off. Except when it’s not. Apparently I didn’t get the lid seated properly as when I grabbed it out of the frig, the lid came off and the container dropped to the floor, and literally exploded yogurt all over the kitchen floor, up the cabinets, even on the counter top. The container broke in two pieces on the ceramic floor. I’m so sad because this is the best strainer ever, except for issues with the lid. It has a lifetime guarantee. But I’m not sure it’s the maker’s problem that I didn’t make sure the lid was on tight. Sigh. This yogurt strainer is a game changer. I’ve been using my instant pot to make vegan yogurt most every week. Store-bought non-dairy yogurt is expensive and has who-knows-what ingredients. I dump 64 ounces plain soy milk (ingredients: soy beans and water) in a glass bowl in my instant pot. Whisk in starter. Put on a lid. Push yogurt button. Leave for 12 hours. Really good yogurt but watery. This yogurt strainer ups my game! Smooth, silky, Greek yogurt-like consistency. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Now to figure out what to do with the whey. Pancakes? Smoothies? Bread? I know homemade yogurt sounds like a lot of work. But hands on time (including washing containers) is about 10 minutes. So worth it.
