Would this work for straining milk for dry curd cottage cheese?

I suppose so. It is a very fine weave on the mesh basket, so I would think it would handle delicate stuff like cottage cheese nicely.

yes I use to make homemade yogurt and turn the yogurt in to thick greek yogurt it is very thick sour cream consistency so yes it would definitely work to make cottage cheese

it might give your cream cheese a different flavor. i use it for cheese curds. if you try it and dont like it you can always make a more solid cheese with it. good luck

Hello, I don't see why not. I've used it for making yogurt before. Not by itself, but I have made yogurt with all dry milk and then 1 cup of cream before from a recipe and it turned out fine. Dry milk is used to make yogurt thicker, and many recipes call for adding some quantity of nonfat dry milk if you want thicker yogurt...

It is recommended doing so only to make a thicker yogurt. I personally do not I just add 6tbsp dry milk or use my yogurt cheese maker to get the consistency I want.

If you are doing only a cup of almond milk at a time, this might work. It is just 3-inches in diameter, and it fits nicely into a mug when steeping a cup of hot tea. The mesh is very fine, and catches all but the finest particles of tea leaves. However, if you are wanting to strain a larger quantity of almond milk, you would want a larger strainer for the job.

This strainer is not made for liquids ,its not fine enough and it has bigger holes in the middle plastic cylinder ,unless nut milk is thick like joghurt it will not work.

You might be able to lessen the qty of milk to have it "set" but it is not design for that. Works best in Trifle or with fresh fruit it is meant to be used almost liquid.

I use this primarily to make homemade ranch dressing, using 2% milk as the liquid. It works great! Have never tried this with skim milk, but would assume you would have a similar outcome.

I agree with the other comments. It might work, but it isn't made to froth milk. My coffee press is tighter against the wall... for good reason. I bought a good sized stainless steel milk frother on Ebay for about ten bucks (single walled) and it works fine. I also use it to re-hydrate mushrooms.

Pretty fine...I haven't but you could probably strain yogurt/fresh cheese through it... My only complaint, and it's my own fault, is the size....I would buy one twice as large next time

Yes but reduce the amount of water by the amount of liquid milk you use. I always keep a small box of dry milk in my cupboard for emergencies.

I guess it would depend on how thick your yogurt is to start out. I have never tried it, but it would be worth a try. I use a Donvier Wave for straining my yogurt and the mesh is much finer and works perfectly. Good luck!!

Yes it will work... I tried it. You can make really small amount of milk. What i can't understand us why they have this minimum limit.

I think so. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You make the yogurt separately (or just buy non-dairy yogurt) and pour it into this strainer. Yogurt turns into "Greek yogurt".

I personally haven't tried it for making cheese and don't know what the process involves. I have only used it to make nut milks and have had good results. The mesh appears very strong and able to hold up against a good deal of pressure from squeezing. Don't know if that helps.

It would be perfect for that, yes. The only issue you might find is that it is small. I use it to strain my kefir grains or the yuck out of the bottom of my kombucha brewer, but when I want to strain the whey from kefir to make kefir cheese, I use the Kefir Cheese Making Strainer by Alpha Health Products. Also, of course, good old cheesecloth will work.

I use mine for straining butter and oil from my magic butter machine. It worked great !! I didn't wash it first though.
