Re: Yogurt making process - tips

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie, Have you tried permanent coffee filters? I'm thinking of

getting one solely for yogurt if the paper filters work out ok. Not

sure if the permanent filters will work the same as paper though.

Thanks,

I'm going to start with coffee filters since I have some anyway. I'll

have to do small batches but maybe it'll be less messy than the bag.

If that seems to not be going so great I'll pick up some cheesecloth

to use with a larger strainer. I was hoping the yogurt cheese maker

would fit a lot of yogurt, but if it doesn't then I probably won't buy it.

As for the food dehydrator. I don't think I can afford it right now.

But I'm hoping to get one soon. Especially if I can use my yogourmet

jars in it (I plan on buying a couple of glass ones). What size of

food dehydrator is best? I want to fit at least 2 Yogourmet jars (2

quarts each).

Thanks for all the tips!
