TENRAI Nut Milk Bag, Multiple Usage Reusable Food Strainer - Fine Mesh Nylon Almond Milk Bags - Cold Brew Coffee/Yogurt Filter/Ring (2Qt. 100 Micron)

I love how compact this strainer is and the ease of cleaning. I use it only for yogurt to separate the whey from the creamy curds. Problem is, it takes forever to drain and the whey comes out with yogurt in it. Just a little, but not clean and pure as it does when using cheese cloth. I hated wasting the cheese cloth and thought this would be the solution. With cheese cloth I get a better result though. At least this doesn’t take up tons of cabinet space like the other items available for this task. Do I like it? Not so sure but I definitely don’t hate it.

Great purchase. I use it to strain yogurt and it does a fantastic job. No waste since the yogurt slides right off after straining, unlike cheesecloth. So easy to clean, wash with soapy water and air dry.

I bought both the nylon mesh and the cotton one of these because I like the way my cotton muslin cheese cloth filters the whey from my yogurt, but it's harder to clean. I like these because the wire rim allows me to put it over a container without using a colander or wire mesh strainer to hold a cheesecloth. I was looking for a 2-quart capacity and not needing the additional colander underneath made the larger capacity possible.Nylon cleaning: you can just spray it clean and hang it to dry. If there are dried-on bits of yogurt you may need to use a sponge to loosen it up, but it doesn't take much work.Nylon filtering: a tiny bit of milk solids come through the strainer when I first pour the yogurt into it, but only at the start. The resulting whey is a little cloudy, but not "milky". My old cotton cheese cloth filters out all the milk solids, so comparatively this doesn't strain as well, but the ease of cleaning makes up for it.Nylon capacity: I used this over the top of a 6-quart round pot with a diameter of 11.5 inches. I poured 2 quarts of yogurt into the strainer and it just barely fit. Some other reviewers have said that this strainer is just flat and doesn't have much of a dip to allow the yogurt to pool, but mine did. The cotton Tenrai strainer does have a larger capacity than the nylon one does, even with the same diameter.Nylon vs cotton: my old muslin cheese cloth must have a tighter weave than the cotton used in the Tenrai strainer, because the cotton strainer still let a tiny bit of milk solids through, much like the nylon one. I don't know if that will change over time as the natural fiber ages or not. Maybe it will become better, who knows. The cotton does have a larger capacity than the nylon. When it comes to straining, they're about the same. Cleaning-wise they're also about the same as long as you don't let the yogurt dry on it. If it's still wet, just spray them off in the sink and hang dry. My gut says that the nylon is more sanitary than the cotton, but I have nothing to back that up.Pro tip: when using cotton to strain, dampen the cloth with water first and the yogurt won't stick to it as much.

It's a flat mesh screen. Does NOT work for straining yogurt. I tried pouring in yogurt and it stayed flat, didn't form a bowl shape at all so my yogurt ran over the side. If it formed a bowl shape like the pictures show, then it would have worked like advertised. Sadly, it didn't work as described...at all.

I wanted something to strain homemade yogurt without spending a fortune and this is it! I had some yogurt I made almost a week ago when I received this strainer. I figured I would try it out on a small amount of yogurt. I was amazed at how much liquid was still in the yogurt. Almost half of the yogurt was liquid. Everything else I tried was messy and impractical and I started to make homemade yogurt to save money so I did not want to spend a great deal of money on a strainer and defeat the purpose of making my own yogurt. This strainer is economical, easy to use and easy to clean. Excellent product!

I bought this originally to strain IP Yogurt. Alas, I've not yet made any new yogurt. I however did use the strainer for making and straining IP cottage cheese, and IP ice tea from bulk tea leaves. Straining cottage cheese is a very similar process to yogurt. The tea came out super.Do not set your expectations far and above what is possible. For example, when I made tea from bulk tea leaves there was some powdery(micro) tea leaf dust filtering through.I read in one other review, there should be a little more cloth in the unit so that it can have a bowl effect to hold solids.

I got into making yogurt at home and this is perfect to strain the whey to make it Greek yogurt. It fits very well across a 4 quart Pyrex Mixing bowl and I can still use the bowl's lid. I love that it coils up into a little flat disc about 4 or 5" across. I hold it in it's coiled up position with a small binder clip that way it doesn't spring open. Very easy to store and it takes up MUCH less space than other devices sold as yogurt strainers.

The stars are strictly for customer service. This does not go down into a bowl as pictured. I bent the frame trying. Even though I wrecked it, customer service was very nice about issuing a refund. I will seek out other products from this company.

fonctionne très bien pour égoutter le yogourt
