Customer Reviews of Yogourmet Electric Yogurt Maker
Customer 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.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: Good machine can be improved
Summary: 3 Stars
This one lasted almost 4 years. It's the only yogourt maker available here (in BC) that makes 1 and 2 litre batches instead of fussy little ones. The heating coil can't be adjusted so it eventually fails to deliver enough heat. Yogourmet provides a 2 litre container which is a bit too large and unwieldy for me. They flatly refuse to provide a one litre container. The nearest I can find is a 940 mL yogourt container so I have to waste 60 mL with each batch. (Milk comes in 1L containers here.) The price is a bit high for what you get.Customer Review: A great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
It saves us a LOT of money (75% by my reckoning) and it produces very tasty yogurt from 2% milk. Make the yogurt (4 hours exactly) and immediatly transfer to refridgerator (this firms it up perfectly for use next day).Customer Review: Uncomplicated process + large quantity
Summary: 4 Stars
I would prefer to make large batches of yogurt without the purchase of special equipment, like using my oven interior overnight to incubate. However, my oven is in a 1949 range, and it is not well insulated enough to hold a temperature for incubation overnight. This yogurt maker works on the same principle, and is a full 2 quart capacity. One can also make just one quart, but I have not done so. Why? It takes the same amount of effort to make one or two. It is easy to store, light weight, and easy to clean too. I recommend a second batch jar to go with it. I always have a jar in the frig, and the ability to start another whenever I want to. Goat milk yogurt in this appliance is to die for!
