Hatrigo Greek Yogurt Maker with 2-Quart Inner Strainer Capacity

BSman: I've had this for about six months now and like it a lot better than a previous round one I had before. This form factor is easier to fit in the fridge and does a great job of straining my yogurt. It's a bit of a pain to clean, but then so was the round one I had before - I think it comes along with the territory.

Kindle CustomerKindle Customer: This strainer is great! The entire container is a good size and the strainer is a perfect size to fit a gallon recipe of instant pot yogurt. I included pictures here. In another round a got quite a bit more from draining that it was almost up to the strainer, so the proportions are good. It fits in my fridge well and the hard top makes it easy to stack stuff on top if it. The strainer is like a nice gold coffee filter,
which will come in handy for straining other things besides yogurt. I'll probably use the container for other stuff as well.

In full disclosure, we ordered 1 and it came without the strainer in it, but exchanged it. The replacement was perfect and the process was easy.

The pictures are before and after straining a 1 gallon skim milk instant pot yogurt recipe for about 8-9 hours.

Dark Helmet: I had the Euro Cuisine stainless steel strainer but wanted something bigger for processing a full gallon of milk. This fits the bill. It takes up a bunch of space both in storage and in the fridge but it's worth it. I'm saving money making my own skyr with $2.50 per gallon store brand milk that makes two pints of finished product rather than buying it off the shelf at $8 a pint.

It's really too big for the dishwasher so I wash it by hand. Cleanup is much easier if you invert the strainer part onto the lid and rinse the mesh from the outside with hot water while it's still wet. Letting the yogurt residue dry on the mesh will turn cleaning it into a nightmare.

Sean F: So, I finally got my hands on the Hatrigo 1-Gallon Greek Yogurt Maker with the fancy extra fine mesh stainless steel strainer. Let me tell you, it's definitely an upgrade from that other "Euro" brand I tried before this.

This yogurt maker claims to TRANSFORM your plain yogurt into Greek yogurt, and boy, does it deliver. It can strain up to a full gallon of yogurt at once, which is perfect for me because I like to go big or go home when it comes to my yogurt-making adventures.

The stainless steel mesh is the real star here. Forget about those cheap filters the other brand uses and tear too easily, this one's built to last "forever." Okay, maybe not forever, but you get the idea. It's food-safe and super fine, making my yogurt super-thick and creamy. No more running to the store for sour cream or cream cheese; this makes Greek yogurt thick enough to replace those (if you leave it in overnight.)

Now, I gotta be honest, it's kinda big. Takes up a chunk of fridge space, but hey, it's worth it to get the job done in one go. Leave it in the fridge overnight, and voila! You've got the thickest Greek yogurt you could ask for.

All in all, I'm pretty satisfied...

R. Wells: This item was packaged well and arrived fast.

Forget about what anyone says about being hard to clean. It's easy to clean, here is how to clean it...

After the 8-12 hours it has set in your refrigerator. Start by dumping the yogurt. The best way to do so is to. Take the lid off and put a tray or baking sheet over it. And turn the whole thing upside down. If the yogurt does not fall right out. Give it a few slaps on the bottom and it will comply.

Use a spatula or some other tool to transfer the yogurt to your storage container.

Clean the mesh container immediately. The best way is to turn it upside down. Then run or spray water from the outside to the inside. I cock it at a little angle so the water that I'm spraying through the mesh falls into the sink. After spraying the mesh clean. First from the outside and then from the inside. It looks totally clean. Then use dish soap and water with a soft sponge to wipe it all down inside and out. Then spray all the soap off and it's clean. It does not take long.

It comes out clean as new every time. Just follow the rules. Don't do anything to push the yogurt into the mesh. And clean it immediately and it...

Swifty: Bought this to strain cream cheese & yoghurt - works a treat. Lots have complained that its difficult to clean afterwards. Use SPC (Sodium Percarbonate) more often used as a brewing equipment sanitiser, its also the active ingredient in Oxywhite. Empty your cream cheese/yoghurt. Rinse off the surplus. Add around half a cup of SPC, to the container, and put it in the sink. Place the basket inside then top up with hot water - the basket floats a little so weigh it down - I used the beater off my food mixer. It will froth up a lot so leave the lid off. Leave for a couple of hours or overnight. Rinse & your done!!

SolarisSolaris: The 2nd photo is putting the homemade Greek yogurt into the basket. You can see it is a bit runny. The 1st photo is just under the recommended 12 hr drain time in the fridge. Absolutely 💯 perfect & exactly what we were looking for!!

I now can make "Skyr" at home for a FRACTION of the cost, control all the ingredients and it made my Icelandic 🇮🇸 husband very happy! It will be a weekly make in our house!

Notes - this basket and container are very large - definitely double check the size as you need to plan for it to be in the fridge for 6 - 12 hours.

- The basket is excellent, sturdy and well built. We found it so,do much easier than fiddling around with cheesecloth. I would love to buy the next size down as well if it ever becomes available.
- if you use half a 4l jug of milk, be aware thar draining your yogurt like this will decrease your yield as it becomes super thick. 2 Liters 3% Milk equaled approx 650ml when done, as opposed to leaving your Greek yogurt runner with a higher yield. You just have to remember to eat less of the thick yogurt as it is much higher protein content and higher density. It's totally a preference for sure, but we...
