Customer Reviews of Yogourmet Electric Yogurt Maker
Customer Review: Good product. Happy to have this in winter.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this few months ago. ( summer) so just started using this as days are getting colder.
I make my own yogurt (south Indian from India)
hate to buy plastic containers and contaminate the earth with all those plastic containers.
I recommend this to anyone.
I also use this for Idli dough to raise properly.
no need to heat the entire oven as I used to do (energy savings)
South Indian's have to have their Idli and Dosa dough
to rest and ferment it is hard to make that work in winter. this is a good product for that.
it does get a bit too hot. I have to turn off after 4 or 5 hrs. I only make half the container each time.
may be it is designed to have the full container full so the heat is not too much. but if we only fill half or less it does feel it is getting too hot.
I would love to see a smaller one for households with smaller needs as well as couple of more degrees less temperature.
overall I am happy with the product.
Customer 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.
Customer Review: Excellent machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this machine after having one of those other ones that uses all of the tiny little jars to make yogurt. The other machine did a fine job, but it was SUCH A PAIN to deal with all of the little jars all of the time.
This machine uses the 2 quart tub, which is super simple to use and clean and then you have a large batch all at once. Of course if you want you can make less than the two quarts at a time, but with our family we eat it up so fast there's no point. Somehow it also makes the yogurt in only four or four and a half hours versus the eight to twelve hours of the other machine. I don't know the specifics - but maybe it runs a bit warmer to make it go faster? It works very well and is very easy to use. I like the water bath that surrounds the container with the yogurt - it provides a very even heat to the yogurt and keeps any hot spots from killing off the cultures.
A very good machine, and soon we're going to buy another for my mom. This was way better than the other one we tried, which is her old one.
Customer Review: Produces a beautiful, yummy yogurt!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love making yogurt now. I am making SCD yogurt with this machine. That means I let it ferment for 24 hours.
Here is the trick that I have learned though...I had to get a light dimmer plug. It is one that plugs into the outlet, then I plug the Yogogourmet into that and after testing the water temp. a bit I have figured out that the dimmer needs to be set slightly beyond the half-way dim. It keeps the water bath perfectly between 102-108 for the whole 24 hours!
The other tricks I have is that I am using this brand Starter- I tried Dannon All Natural but I actually like this better. The last trick which really seals the flavor, taste and creaminess of this yogurt is that I drip it for about 2-4 hours after it has cooled a bit. I use the bag that came with this yogurt maker- I lay the bag across a large strainer and just dump the whole container of yogurt on top of the bag. Best yogurt ever!!!! Very happy with this maker and the delicious yogurt it produces!
Customer Review: MUY BUENO
Summary: 5 Stars
Esta nota es para las personas de habla español.
Yo compre este equipo porque me gusta mucho el yogourt, el sistema es insuperable, es muy sencillo, yo lo dejo mas del tiempo que dicen las instrucciones, aunque te dice para mas consistencia dejarlo mas tiempo, yo lo dejo aproximadamente de 12 a 14 horas en la maquina.
No se asusten si la tapa de dentro donde va la leche con la la bacteria se destapa eso sucede despues de muchas horas lo que yo hago es sacarlo nuevamente cerrarlo nuevamente y volverlo a poner tambien se puede levantar la tapa de afuera cuando se abre la de dentro y se vuelve a tapar.
cuando eso sucede se siente un ruido cuando se aprende a conocer el ruido no te asustas mas.
lo que yo hago siempre lo pongo con la cantidad de agua que indican las intrucciones para seguir bien ese paso.
tiene un acido excelente el yogourt y la calidad es deliciosa.
que lo disfruten los que lo compren.
