Yogourmet Multi Electric Yogurt Maker with CBA Starter customer reviews:
Happy with my purchase I was interested in making my own yogurt because I eat a lot of it and I enjoy "kitchen gadgets". I originally purchased the EuroCuisine 7 jar maker from Williams and Sonoma because I had a gift certificate. I quickly grew tired of fussing around with those little jars, especially since you are not supposed to put the tops in the dishwasher and I was having trouble getting even the jars themselves clean in the diswasher with the way they are shaped. I saw this one and purchased it based on the reviews, and the fact that you make a one big container. I have made yogurt at least 5 times using the recommended starter and have had no trouble at all. I like the texture and taste of the yogurt too (using the unflavored gelatine mixed in). I didn't use the thermometer that came with it, but instead one that I knew was calibrated accurately. Definitely recommend. works great!! it worked great i was very impressed with the quality of the yogurt and the ease of making it!! i added 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of imitation vanilla and it was better then any brand in the store and i am very very picky!! Watch out for the 1-qt boom We love our yogurt maker. I was too impatient to stick with using organic milk; it added a couple hours to my whole process, to heat it then cool it way down. So I've settled for using the UHT boxes, and they taste just as good, which surprised me. We've comforted ourselves knowing that even if we're not using organic, at least we're not adding any more plastic containers to the pile. Okay, the 1-Qt Boom. The only time I tried making a single quart instead of two, I was sitting out in the living room, minding my own business, when this BOOF sound came from the kitchen. The cat ran off. I had 70s flashbacks to my parent's old yogurt maker and some pressure cooker incidents I've heard about. I did not want to go into the kitchen. But after a few minutes I decided I had to do it, and when I did, it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd feared. Yogurt was NOT everywhere, but both lids had blown off, and water was splattered. I was afraid to put the lid back on tight, because the pressure seemed pretty heavy, so instead, I set the lid back on but didn't click it into place, then draped a clean dishtowel over it all. The yogurt came out fine, and I don't know what the problem was, but the subsequent double batches were normal. I'm kind of afraid to do a single batch again. We love the yogurt and maker, and I'm glad we bought it, but for those few moments, I was very afraid. Convenience size, consistent quality This yogurt can make one half-gallon of yogurt - this was the main reason I purchased it. I also got yogurt of consistently good quality - firm and tasts good. The temperature is not too high as some previous reviewers stated, at least judged from the good quality it produced.
Great Yogurt Maker, but watch out for the exploding top! While this make perfectly wonderful yogurt, you have to watch out for the exploding top of the insert. I'm assuming the pressure from the mild heat this generates to make the yogurt causes the inner container to explode (or pop it's top to be accurate).
One time I heard it go off in the middle of the night, thought someone had shot a gun outside.
So I usually put two heavy books (try Peterson's cookbooks, nice and heavy) on top while it's cooking the yogurt.
