So easy!

You just take about 4-5 cups of milk and scald it. Stop the heat before it begins to boil over. Let it cool down. Check with your hand after an hour or so, if it doesn't burn then your good. lol. Once the milk is cool just add 2-3 tbsp of yogurt (I use what I've already made previously...but you can buy the single serving tubs...I think they even have single serving greek now). Then you just mix the milk and yogurt super lightly a couple of times, so it's evenly distributed and pour it into a container of your choice. Turn the oven up to warm for a bit and turn it off after 3 minutes. You just want it to be slightly warm in there. Or, if your kitchen is normally warm and you don't mind waiting up to 12 hours you can just keep it on the stove. That's what my mom and I do. Otherwise, just stick the almost-greek-yogurt in the warmed up/turned off oven and if you've a light let that stay on too, it'll keep it from cooling down. Come back after 5-6 hours and check on the greek yogurt. If it looks like yogurt you're almost done! Basically it should be thicker and should stay together when moved around like thinned out yogurt.

Once it's done you just get a cheesecloth and a rubberband and place the cheesecloth over the bowl and rubberband it down, not too tight, not too loose cause you're going to strain the whey out to make the yogurt "Greek"! So, pour all of the yogurt into the cloth covered bowl and stick it in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Whatever is left at the top, all nice and thick and greek yogurty is what you're gonna wanna seal up airtight and store in the fridge. Whatever is in the bowl is the "whey"! That stuff is great too!

I have 6 containers that fit the recall. I read the article about this. A few months ago, we had a container that bulged and called the company about it. They said to throw it out and they sent us a coupon to replace it. When I went to check for this recall, one of the six was bulging. I will take it to Walmart on Friday and see if they will exchange it.
