Euro Cuisine GY60 Greek Yogurt Maker with Ultra Fine Mesh Stainless Steel Strainer Basket, BPA Free, Patented Greek Yogurt Strainer, Ideal for Healthy Homemade Yogurt, Dips, and Desserts

This strainer makes the process simple, quick and relatively easy to clean up, but does not sell a bunch of bells and whistles to the consumer which in my opinion do not add any value.The basket on this product has much more surface area through which the yogurt can drain, than do the vast majority of others which have less mesh/screen and more solid plastic through which the yogurt of course cannot drain. So, this product produces a thicker consistency not only faster, but with less fiddling with it to move the yogurt to where it can drain through the mesh/screen.For me it was worth spending the extra money to get this version, which has the stainless screen rather than nylon mesh because the screen is a stronger material and should hold up better to repeated use/washing. However, If I were draining kefir for making kefir cheese, the right choice would be the nylon mesh as kefir/kefir grains reacts to metal and while some claim that stainless steel is OK, I choose not to potentially risk the health of what helps to keep me healthy!I also really like that the lid is flexible and easy to snap on/off of the bowl and it doesn’t require clamps to hold it in place. One of the reasons I returned a different brand was that the top used clamps which would not secure properly to the bowl, making it likely that it would leak yogurt all over the refrigerator if someone really bumped it.I’m glad that I purchased this product, as in my opinion, it is better designed and built than most. Expecting it to continue provide good service for a long time to come, I do recommend it.
