Product Reviews of Yogourmet Electric Yogurt Maker
Product Review: Great yogurt maker
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Yogourmet Electric Yogurt Maker since I wanted to start making our own yogurt and the other reviews were so positive.
I am very pleased. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and makes great yogurt. I just use 2 T of a previous batch to start a new quart batch. If I want a sweetened version, I add 1 t of vanilla and 2 T of honey.
I have also made yogurt cheese using the supplied cheese bag. It is great!
I highly recommend this product.
Product Review: Great yogurt maker!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product! The water bath feature provides an even heating surface for any yogurt jar - which gives the finished yogurt an even, creamy texture. The thermostat,however, doesn't read correctly, so I threw it away on the first day (not worth fussing over.) Overall, I love this machine enough to comment. I think you should get the yogourtmet, not because I did, but because the product is amazing every single time.Product Review: Great, but water gets too hot!
Summary: 3 Stars
The product is great, makes yogurt making really easy. However the water in the basin gets too hot. If it is culturing for more than 10 hours the water gets too hot to sustain the good bacteria. to do a 24 hour culture you need to replace the water several times. And caution if you use the CBA starter, do not put the water in the basin with it plugged in until you are ready to put the yogurt in, the water will heat too fast. This culture needs to gradually reach a little over a 100 degrees and not go into it right away.Product Review: Greek Yogurt Mania
Summary: 5 Stars
Had this product for a few weeks, only turned it off twice since I got it. My family was eating Chobani about $30.00/week. I've reduced my costs to $10.00/week. We use the product to make non-fat Greek yogurt. So far every batch has turned out perfect!
You don't need the powder starters: Just start out with a couple tablespoons of store bought plain yogurt w/live cultures. From this point forward just use what you make to start a new batch. It does not get any easier.
I do two batches every 24hrs, 2qts skim milk will yield 1qt of Greek yogurt because you drain off the whey using the cheese bag. The family eats the stuff up.
I have know idea why others are having problems retaining water and sometimes blowing the lid off. My guess is they don't know what they're doing. I've had zero issues with the lids or the water. To date, I have at least 30 batches under my belt without a single hitch. I'm probably going to by another one so I can do gallon batches once a day versus two batches a day.
Product Review: Homemade Yogurt
Summary: 5 Stars
This yogurt maker offers a size (2 Qt) for serious yogurt aficionados and a handy thermometer that fits inside the tub. I hadn't made yogurt in years, and this incubator was very forgiving as I re-entered the learning curve. My first batch didn't work, likely due to an insufficient amount or substandard quality of starter yogurt. Fortunately, I was armed with the Yogourmet freeze-dried starter packets. Mixed in a double packet for the 2 Qt, used the same milk from the failed original batch, and it worked like a charm. 2% organic milk, and 3/4 cup powdered milk. Also purchased the Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese strainer to make thick Greek yogurt. Word of caution--my yogurt maker runs a little bit on the warm side. Unplugged the unit after 3 hours, and continued the incubation with the unit turned off. Excellent results.
