I can't speak on draining store bought non-fat yogurt as I make my own. I can make a half gallon in 20 min active time and costs less than $3; not going to spend 4 times that for a pretty package and mine drains perfectly.
I sub whey for nearly every recipe that calls for buttermilk. I also use it my pet food as a healty add-in which they all love, especially the chickens. Oh and any that goes off, and you KNOW when it's off, right into the compost pile, great compost kick starter.
The muffins are great BTW! Used applesauce instead of oil came out very moist and tender, even with no fat.
Wow, thanks for all the tips, Mikki - clearly you're a seasoned "save the whey" baker! PJH
