Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker

Customer Review: Works Well, Could Be a Bit Better
Summary: 4 Stars

I love the yogurt after it has been strained through this, but it is the wrong size. I bought this in conjunction with the Salton 1 quart yogurt maker. After the yogurt has cooled, I take a half of a cup out for my next culture and pour the rest into the yogurt cheese maker. The problem is that it doesn't all fit. There is about a half of a cup that doesn't fit. If it were just a little bigger it would be perfect. I'm not sure what the purpose of the wave at the bottom is, but if it were straightened out, the entire quart would fit.

It's also a bit expensive, but it is very convenient. There are many other ways to strain your yogurt including cheese cloth and a coffee filter or two in the bottom of a colander, but this is much more convenient. You simply pour (or spoon) the yogurt in, put the lid on, and stick it into your refrigerator out of the way. I like my yogurt VERY thick, so I usually leave it in over night. I've also left it in for about 24 hours and made a cheese cake from the resulting yogurt cheese.

I also used it with store bought yogurt. It didn't work quite as well with that. I'm guessing it's because of the gelatin they put in, but I'll probably never buy that yogurt again except to use as a culture. I'm spoiled now.

Description of Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker

The Donvier Wave Yogurt Strainer turns 1 cup of yogurt into yogurt cheese, which you can put in a variety of delicious recipes that are low in fat, calories, sodium, cholesterol and lactose. Container seals for storage, as well as during the cheese-making process. Permanent stainless steel mesh strainer. Dishwasher-safe on the top shelf. Includes recipes and instructions.

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
