What is the best electric yogurt maker?
So far I have looked up the Salton YM7 42-Ounce Electric Yogurt Maker with 7
Glass Jars. It seems to have what I need i.e., timer, see-through top, glass jars --$24.95. Does anyone use this or some others I should check out? I thought about using normal kitchenware, as shown on some websites, but I can't find a good consistent, reliable heat source around here. Thanks, frog |

The truth is the machine is not asked to do very much. For me it worked perfectly, consistently. I used it once or twice a month for a year or two. Then I got bored with yogurt. -- If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much. -- Lewis Carroll |

It works flawlessly and I am not pouring measured amounts into little cups. I know you can make yogurt in the oven with the light on, or with a heating pad or any number of other ways, but I have gotten the simplest, most consistent results with the Salton. Check out garage sales or Craig's list if you want to save money on a unit. You are right...it doesn't do much. All it is is a bucket that is placed in an insulated heating sleeve. We vary the yogurt based on what sort of milk we have around at the time, and we also use some dried milk to beef up the consistency. Everyone has an opinion as to what to use for "seed," and the most dependable (for me) is a purchased culture. I have a few small containers of plain, multi-culture yogurt that I get on sale and just use a bit of that. They last pretty much forever, even way past the use date. But we only make yogurt once, or at most, twice a week. If you make it often you can use your own makings as the seed culture for awhile, until you notice that a batch just isn't as yummy as the previous ones, then go back to a purchased seed culture.

FYI A little research has lead me to websites that explain using a Crockpot
to make yogurt. Looks easy and I won't have to obtain another gadget since I have a Crockpot.

Thanks, > > frog Hi Frog, Purchased a Tefal La Yaourtiere maker recently - turns out a superb product. Also comes with 8 individual portion glass jars, which I think is pretty neat.

I think the last time I made yogurt in it, I used canning jars. Well, I don't have the canning jars anymore so I'm curious about your method. TIA -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

Well, I don't have the canning jars anymore >so I'm curious about your method. TIA Actually I have never used it. I always use my 1 quart. I would probably put some foil or plastic wrap over the jars. Guess I need to try it but I really don't eat it by the jar. I use it to make smoothies or tzatziki. -- Susan N.
