4 Uses for a Colander You'd Wish You Had Known Before

Making your own Greek-style yogurt or yogurt cheese doesn't require special equipment; all that really separates regular from Greek yogurt is liquid whey and lactose. This how-to explains the process, but you basically place a clean, cotton dish towel into a colander, spoon plain yogurt onto the towel, set the colander over a bowl and refrigerate. As the hours pass, the yogurt will thicken; it's "done" whenever it's the consistency you like, whether you're eating it with fruit or using it to lighten up mac 'n' cheese.
