Would this item be good to use for yogurt? Does it hold smaller than a 6 oz yogurt cup

I haven't tried putting yogurt in these since my kids don't like yogurt. But I'm confident that the lid seals tight enough to hold yogurt without it leaking. I'm not sure how many ounces it will hold, but it definitely seems large enough to hold a good serving size and I'd be willing to bet it would hold 6 oz. Sorry I can't say from experience though!

I use mine to make yogurt. It disolves good but give it a little time to hydrate. A few minutes.

We use it for yogurt. We put the inoculated milk into glass jars with lids and use an enameled cast iron Dutch oven (with lid) to hold the jars in a warm water bath. We've been careful to have the lid warm as well as the pot before closing it into the Wonderbag. The yogurt is coming out great!

About 2 +oz. if you use a regular yogurt cup which is 6 oz, you can pour about half of it in

I don't strain yogurt, but it's fine enough to rinse Chia seeds and amaranth. Those are both very tiny seeds

They hold just enough for dip or dressing for salad. I'd say about a 1/4 cup. I don't think 6 oz of yogurt would fit.

My recollection is that a set of extra jars was also available when I bought my yogurt maker. So you might recheck the site or do an independent search for them. Also, you could combine finished yogurt into a larger container if you wanted to re-use the cups that come with the unit. The jars go through the dishwasher really well and can be ready again quickly. I hope that is helpful.

I have never used it for yogurt, but I know it will keep ice cream cold for 6 hours, so it does retain heat or cold a long time. I also make cheese and a fantastic website is http://www.cheesemaking.com and she has several insulated yogurt makers, that I know work great. Hope that helps.

i agree that the jar is not very accurate by the measurement. but i never had 2.5 cups of leftover! that's a bit too much... i usually put in 6oz yogurt (1 of those store bought, or one jar from last batch), then add 18 oz of milk. that'd do. once you do a few batches, you'll have a pretty good idea of how much you need to put in there. Or you can always use the cups that come with it to measure. that'd never go wrong.on a different note, if you ever have extra leftover mixture, just drink it. :) I like it that way anyways. sometimes if i made the yogurt too sour, i just add some milk, and do a yogurt drink. you can use that for smoothy as well. don't waste it~ :) i agree that the jar is not very accurate by the measurement. but i never had 2.5 cups of leftover! that's a bit too much... i usually put in 6oz yogurt (1 of those store bought, or one jar from last batch), then add 18 oz of milk. that'd do. once you do a few batches, you'll have a pretty good idea of how much you need to put in there.

I have not used it as a yogurt strainer but the holes are small enough for me to strain lentils if that helps.

I think so. I use it to strain my homemade Greek yogurt and I am very happy with it.

The holes are smaller than a normal strainer. I think it would work well as a yogurt strainer.

Hi there, you can use an ice tray or larger cubes.. Such as frozen reused yogurt containers.... Even a little larger.. It works very well.

Yes, so you can use the 7 little (6-oz) glass jars that come with, or 3 quart-size canning jars, or whatever jar you have that's about that size. P.S. I'm beyond pleased with this yogurt maker! It works really well!

I believe it will. It gives you nice portioned sections and has pictures in each section to show suggested food groups. I put yogurt in my daughters and none of the contents spilled even though she had it upside down at times when she put it in her book bag. I love this box and he loves it too! I recommend it

I use this to strain yogurt which I make in a two quart Yogotherm. It will hold more than a quart--about 5 to 5 1/2 cups initially. But if you're willing to let the whey drain off for 15-30 minutes, you can eventually add a full 8 cups (2 quarts).

Not sure, but I only used mine a couple of times and then I purchased a yogourmet quart size and I use that almost every week with success. The small cups are a bit of a pain to fill, but if you have little ones or you want them to take for work then I think it would work well.
