Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Do any of you make and eat Yogurt? My daughter wants to make yogurt for her kids and wants a maker for her birthday. Do any of you have advise on what is the best brand to buy. She is looking at a yogourmet because it makes 2 quarts at a time, but if it doesn't work well and make good yougurt that is just more waste.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Katie I put one in the files a long time ago. I would imagine there are others also. I never use the commercial makers. I just use a pan and a lid and the oven. GB , " cozycate " <cozycate wrote: > > Do any of you make and eat Yogurt? My daughter wants to make yogurt > for her kids and wants a maker for her birthday.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have used a commercial yoghurt maker called ezy-yo. You buy packets of dry ingredients and mix with water. The packets come in different flavours and some are low fat/low sugar. You have to read the labels carefully as some of the flavours are very high in sugar. The taste was good, very low cost to make.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Katie asked... Do any of you make and eat Yogurt? I have made yogurt and you can try this out first, if it is a hit then invest in a yogurt maker or just continue with the recipe. I used a glass gallon jar from a restaurant. I put 3 1/2 cups of cold water, 3 1/2 cups of boiling water and 3 1/2 cups of skim milk powder Mix together with 1/2 cup of my last batch of yogurt or plain organic yogurt from the store. Screw lid on. I then took a medium sized cooler and filled it about 1/3 of the way with very warm tap water(about 112 degrees). Place gallon jar in warm water in cooler. Mine is ready in about 5 hours. The longer you leave it the more " tang " it will get. It also is not as thick as store yogurt because there is no geletin. I have never found a need to buy a yogurt maker, I prefer tools and apppliances that serve more than one purpose. moo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
