Brand New Tribest Yolife Yogurt Maker Description
|
Yolife comes with seven convenient 6 oz glass jars so you can have fresh yogurt every day of the week. Unlike other yogurt makers, it also comes with a large lid so you can use your own larger containers for making up to 80 oz of fresh yogurt at a time. That means you can use your glass storage jars, food processing containers or other containers to make your fresh yogurt. Yolife can even make yogurt inside Tribest Personal Blender blending containers - so you can make your yogurt, add fresh or frozen fruit, and instantly whip up a delicious blended smoothie

easy bulk batches
I like that this yogurt maker heats a little more than my Donvier, and that I can make a big batch of 3 quarts right in the containers (3 quart-size mason jars). I can make a lot of organic fat free yogurt for a fraction of the cost of buying it. Here's my most successful recipe so far:
1 gal nonfat organic milk (you will use about 3 quarts--you can also just use the same amount of yogurt for 2 quarts)
6 oz cup Stonyfield or other nonfat plain organic yogurt (or use some of your last homemade batch)
1/2 cup nonfat milk powder (organic if you can find it)
3 quart size mason jars + lids
1 large (boil-able) soup ladle or a measuring cup
1 large stockpot big enough for the mason jars & ladle
canning tongs to lift the jars out, if you have them
Plug in the yogurt maker to warm up. Sanitize 3 quart mason jars with lids + a ladle, in a large pot with an inch of water in the bottom; boil loosely covered for 10 minutes & turn off heat.
In the meantime, set aside a 6 oz container of fresh Stonyfield or other nonfat organic plain yogurt + 2 oz cold nonfat milk. Put 2 qts + 1 to 3 cups of nonfat organic milk in a very large pyrex mixing bowl (the one with the handle & pouring lip is easiest to handle). Microwave for about 7 minutes, or keep heating for 30 second intervals until the temperature on a thermometer reaches 129-130 degrees. If it goes over, stir the milk to cool it to 130 deg maximum. Whisk or stir the 6 oz yogurt, nonfat milk powder, and 2 oz milk until smooth, ladle in some milk from the bowl if it is too thick (just smooth out any clumpiness), then add all of it to the bowl & whisk it smooth (it doesn't take more than a minute). Ladle the mix into the 3 quart jars to the top & put them in the yogurt maker without lids. Keep the lids in a clean towel or otherwise covered & dry until needed. Cover the yogurt. Heat for about 8-12 hours. When thick, cover with the lids & store in the fridge. The whole process takes me about 15-20 minutes every week or 2 to set up. Keeps a couple of weeks at least, so far.
I like it! 
This is a good yogurt maker! I use it according to the recipe, it made yogurt with good quality!

I see two other reviews here, and concur with them. I esp like that you can do a big batch. The included jars are thick and sturdy glass, but there is a groove/contour in the jar base that is deep enough to make cleaning harder than it should be (a minor consideration). With the tall cover, this item could do double duty as a cake plate :)
Everything I wanted in a yogurt maker
I'm trying to decrease my use of plastic due to the environmental impact and the concerns about chemicals leaching into foods. The Yolife Yogurt Maker comes with small glass jars, and the large cover allows tremendous flexibility. I've found that using old-fashioned glass quart canning jars without the broad shoulders around the jar neck is the perfect vessel for yogurt. As noted by another reviewer, the small jars are designed with a ridge that makes them somewhat difficult to clean, but I prefer using larger canning jars for less items to clean.
With my first batch of yogurt, I tasted it before refrigerating it, and I noticed a slight plastic flavor. This disappeared after refrigeration. There has been a slight plastic odor as the unit heats up, but it has dissipated with each use. I suspect that this will disappear completely with time.
A yogurt maker really just has to create an environment in which the bacterial cultures will thrive, holding the temperature around 110° F. This machine does this perfectly. I appreciate that the instructions state that yogurt may be made from cold milk and yogurt. It takes longer in the machine and the yogurt isn't quite as firm as with heated milk, but it's so easy to dump cold milk and yogurt into a jar, plug the machine in, and twelve hours later, you have yogurt.
Overall, this yogurt maker is perfect for me. It allows the flexibility of using large glass jars and makes great yogurt.
