Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker
Customer Review: Yum - Perfect Yogurt Cheese in a Few Hours
Summary: 5 Stars
After purchasing Donvier's yogurt maker, I thought this cheese maker would help me turn my softer yogurt into something thicker, a facsimile of the yogurt I tasted in Turkey and Greece. I was right -- after making my own preservative and additive free yogurt in my Donvier yogurt maker, I simply poured all eight containers into the compact cheesemaker, closed the lid and let it stay overnight in the refrigerator. Voila, the next morning, I had a perfectly creamy spread to put on my whole grain toast. I used Total Greek yogurt as my starter, so my yogurt very nearly reached the perfection I have been seeking: creamy, tart and no added sugar.
If you are a food perfectionist or simply do not like to buy any product loaded with corn syrup or any of the other usual suspects commonly used by manufacturers to up the taste for the general public, you will find purchasing the Donvier yogurt and cheese maker well worth the price.
Customer Review: Give it a try!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I bought this cheese maker I had never made yogurt or cheese before, in fact the family never ate yogurt, I was worried this would be a one shot deal. I heard yogurt was hard to make...but it was easy! I tried several ways to make it. My favorite is with sugar free vanilla syrup, you know the kind we put in our coffee. I also bought a yogurt maker...but I never used it...it dosn't make enough now that we all eat yogurt and this great cheese. I make about 3or 4 qts.of yogurt at a time in my oven.
Temp can't go over 120` or under 90`. I fix it before bed and let it bake overnight in 12oz.canning jars, you don't have to put the lids on, just use foil to cover. These are great to take to work for lunch.! Now that I have this cheese maker we don't use mayo or sour cream. Just cheese! I have this cheese maker going 24/ 7 in my fridge. Yes, I'm going to get another one! Nancy in Oregon.
Customer Review: Wonderful cheese! Dishwasher warped the box.

I also love this yogurt cheese maker. The yogurt cheese is delicious.
Two things: 1) I haven't noticed anyone with the idea of re-pouring the white part of the liquid whey that collects under the strainer back over the yogurt cheese in the strainer, to produced even more yogurt cheese. Sometimes I have very little white whey, but with some batches there is quite a lot. I scoop out most of the yogurt cheese to use or save, and leave a small amount on the bottom of the strainer to catch the white liquid whey when I pour it back in. I just wait a few hours like the first time, and then have even more yogurt cheese. 2) I put the plastic lid and box of the yogurt cheese maker in my dishwasher, and it warped the box's sides inwards, so I now have to put a strong rubber band around it and the lid, which no longer will attach to the upper sides of the box.
Customer Review: This is OK but here's a better idea for Greek yogurt!
Summary: 3 Stars
I tried this device because I love Greek yogurt. It works fine, but you waste some that sticks to the maker. Be careful not to leave the yogurt in the maker too long, or you will get cheese, not thicker yogurt.
Anyway, what I learned: You don't need this to make Greek yogurt. It is really easy to do without any device at all:
1) Buy a nice big carton of your favorite plain yogurt (I like Cascade and you can get a huge container that lasts all week.)
2) Don't ever stir it up.
3) Every time you want some yogurt, drain the liquid whey from the container before you spoon it out.
4) It will get thicker and thicker, each time you drain the whey.
That is all Greek yogurt is: yogurt with the whey drained off, right? No muss, no fuss, no waste, no buying anything (hope Amazon doesn't erase this review!)
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say enough about this product. It works fantastic! I put plain yogurt into the mesh filled to the top, put lid on top, placed in refrigerator overnight and voila, next morning you will have something like 'Fage' that strained yoghurt in the dairy aisle of your neighborhood supermarket.
Just make sure the yogurt you use does not say on the label that it has been thickened with cornstarch or gelatin, because I made that mistake and it took 3 days to really strain well. That was my own fault - I didn't look first. Regular good old fashioned yogurt will work every time and it becomes so thick and creamy, you could use it in place of sour cream on your baked potatoes etc... I like it mixed with fruit or just plain and without all that added sugar.
Thank you Amazon for a fine and useful product.
