Euro Cuisine Nut Milk Bag - Cheese Cloth Bag for Straining Greek Yogurt, Organic Cheesecloth for Straining, Nut Milk Bag Reusable, Kava Strainer Bag, Nutmilk Mesh Bag (12"x12")

This bag is perfect for extracting whey from yogurt and making yogurt cheese. It's a good size and held 1 quart easily having room for 2 to 3 more. The fabric gauge is thick and allows for the whey to come through easily while keeping the curds from seeping through.My problems with it are the following. The seams are not sewn well, as mentioned in a previous review. The edges of the fabric is unfinished, left to unravel and on this bag about a 1 inch length of the seam was not sewed. So if you don't mind sewing the seam shut - it's really not a problem just an inconvenience, then it's no big deal. Secondly I had to boil & rinse it 3 times to get the "yellow" to stop showing up in the water which takes me to my third problem. The item is made in China.Is it really going to cost more to have this product made here in the USA? I would pay an extra few dollars if I knew that 1. the seams were sure and finished, 2. there was no yellow dye/color/product bleed off and 3. it was made in the USA. Having said all that I would buy this again but I will first look to see if I can find it made in the USA.

I like this bag, and it is large enough for me to make my normal 2-3 litres of milk batch of Yogurt and may have been able to do 4 litres. The concept is very simple and anyone with a sewing machine, some muslin, string, and 15 minutes can make this. Be sure to wash this out before you use it and don't use any type of detergent or soap. I also turned mine inside out so I did not have to deal with the loose strings and such along the seam.Where this really drops the ball is in the quality of the product. The fabric is good and is a tight weaved, unbleached muslin. The stitching leaves a bit to be desired and this will be re-stitched on my sewing machine. The drawstring pocket is too small to slide the string through when the bag is wet...so much for easily hanging the bag to let the whey drip out. You can work at it and get the bag to closed, but I chose not to take the time. Twisting it and tying a string works just as good to hang it up. I would have made this a rounded bottom bag.I make Greek style yogurt so I really don't know how this will work for cheese. It does work nice for the yogurt I want to make.

I tried different kinds of cheese cloth before getting this bag. The fabric is just right for making Greek style yogurt although it might be too fine for traditional cheese.One important thing you need to do when using it. After a while, the layer of yogurt right up next to the inside of the bag will get harder (as the whey drips and evaporates off the bag). This layer acts like a seal keeping the liquid in the inner contents of the bag wet. You must periodically "kneed" or fully squeeze all parts of the bag to mix it up and allow the wet interior to be exposed to the fabric. The goal is to wipe the thickened layer away from the inside of the fabric. After doing this it will start to drip again. If you don't do this, the layer next to the fabric will get so hard and the outside of the bag will dry up, creating a water tight shell like an egg, preventing the majority of the yogurt inside from drying at all.

This cotton cloth bag works great for homemade coconut milk. I used other so called "milk bags" which ripped after a several uses so I purchased a cloth bag intended for straining jellies (that came with a tall metal screw on legs ... don't bother the stand is awful). That bag has worked fine and has not ripped when squeezing the liquid out of it ... however it is small. I thought if a cloth bag works well maybe I can find a larger bag (since I do several quarts of coconut milk at a time) to make the effort less time consuming. I followed the directions to soak the bag for a couple of minutes in boiling water before the first us. I hung it to dry. The next day I filled my Vitamix with shredded coconut and water. Once the milk is processed I poured it all into the bag over a strainer and bowl. The milk drained for a while and then I squeezed out the rest. This bag "Euro Cuisine 12x12 Cotton Bag for Making Cheese CB12" is perfect for making milk. The bonus is I can make cheese someday too. It seems very sturdy.

I have a back yard milk goat and often use her milk to make cheese. Many books and online articles instruct their readers to line a colander with cheesecloth and strain the cheese curds and hang them up to drain. Rubbish! Anyone who has worked with cheesecloth knows it takes layer upon layer to do this, and it doesn't wash well after the process is finished. I don't even know why they call that loose weave, lacy stuff cheesecloth. When I discovered butter muslin home cheesemaking became so much easier. It only took 2 layers in the colander and didn't shred and was strong and easier to hang above the sink. But then I bought this cotton bag. A BAG! DUH! No folding over a colander and trying to keep the corners out of the liquid so they could be dry when tied above the faucet. A simple drawstring bag is like magic to this kitchen cheesemaker. Just the right weave to drain away excess whey, and it hangs by its string. I have been more than pleased with this item.

Overall, I like the bag. I pour my yogurt inside, hang it on a cabinet knob over my sink, and collect the whey in a pot below. If I have a surplus of whey, I let it drain down the sink. I like the simplicity of the bag. It's just a cheap piece of muslin with a rope sewn into a seam at the top. It's probably a bit overpriced for what you get, considering it is just muslin and it's made in China. This kind of bag could be made for 1/3 of what it's being sold for.

I like this THICK dense cotton bag! I use it for making soymilk. This bag is better than cheese cloths as I find cheese cloths to leak because the holes get bigger and solids get pushed through when I squeeze too hard. I definitely recommend this bag for making nut and bean milks.Unfortunately the fabric to this bag is not finished and it does fray quite a bit. The bag also needs to be boiled before using. It made the water turn yellow! I'm not sure why but after boiling and washing it, it was fine.
