| 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 |
| Yogurt cheese takes the place of cream cheese in most recipes. For the many lactose intollerant folks, this is a welcomed substitue. The texture is superior to cream cheese for a lot of cakes and puddings as they seem to hold a better, less runny, texture. This is the best money spent for a single use item. If you have ever hung yogurt, wrapped in cheese-cloth, or tried the drip method --- you will love this neat container that makes life so much nicer. And don't forget to save the whey to use in baking or a smoothie .... The whey will last three weeks, in the fridge, in a sealed glass container. I'm really liking this product more and more as I use it. If you don't have the time/energy to make yogurt cheese the old fashioned way (cheesecloth and bowl) this is the way to go. I do agree with others about the price...seems a bit high for a plastic box and a sieve but that didn't stop me from buying. All in all I'm happy with my purchase. |
