Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker
Customer Review: Easy Yogurt Cheese
Summary: 5 Stars
I ran across this Yogurt Cheesemaker on Amazon while doing some research for Greek yogurt and recipes for Tzatziki Sauce. I found a link to this item at one of the websites I was visiting. I was impressed by the mostly favorable reviews and decided since I am a big yogurt lover to give it a try.
Two of the biggest complaints I read about this, is that it isn't large enough for a large sized container of yogurt and that it is hard to clean. I am not sure what the basis is for these complaints. I can easily put a large sized container of full yogurt into mine. True, it fills it to the top, another inch might be nice, but I just place the top on loosely and pop it in the fridge. By the next morning a lot of the whey is already drained and your once filled to the top cheese maker will now be well below the top. If you leave it draining in the fridge for several days you will be amazed at how little yogurt you have after draining off the whey. What you have left is a very thick yogurt base which can be used for so many delicious recipes. I like Tzatziki Sauce for dipping bread and vegetables into. The cheese maker comes with some recipe ideas, my favorite is the lemon cream. Very tasty and easy to make. I made a lime version which was good. Tried the bananna cheese cake, which was ok...tasted like healthy cheese cake, but being a real cheese cake lover, it was a poor substitute. Give me a real slice of cheese cake!
As far as the hard to clean complaints...??? I don't know, I just scrape the yogurt out with a spatuala into a container or bowl if I am being creative right at the moment. Give it a rinse under hot water and set it aside to dry. It's no harder to clean than a cake mix bowl.
I have been using store brand plain yogurt for my yogurt cheese which has worked fine.
The price seems a bit high for what you get, basically a tupperware type container with a screened insert, but it seems well made. If it was cheaper I would buy several as they would be perfect for storing berries or cherry tomatoes in your fridge. Maybe add it to your ""wish list" and wait for it to go on sale or as an add on for a free shipping offer..
I have enjoyed mine, I would recommend this item to anyone who loves yogurt and wants to create better sauces and dips with it.
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
