Customer Reviews of Yogourmet Electric Yogurt Maker
Customer Review: Yogourmet Maker
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this product due to the lack of soy yogurt availability in all the places we travel. I would like to have known from the product description that it would work using alternatives to traditional dairy. Since receiving the product my husband has made several batchs of soy milk yogurt, learning the little tricks needed to make a good firm product. This maker is very easy to use and produces consitantly good yogurt. This is a vast improvement over the little cups that do not product enough at one time to make it worth spending the time making yogurt. To be perfectly satisfied, one must experiment with the incubation time to obtain the consistancy wanted.Customer Review: Easy, Delicious

This yogurt maker is incredibly easy to use, and turns out great yogurt. The yogurt I have made so far, however, has been very soft and soupy, but I have not added powdered milk to thicken it as the directions say. It also comes with a thermometer, very cool, although my thermometer must have gotten wet because not all the numbers are displaying correctly now. Just follow the directions and you'll get great results!
A tip: if you don't want to buy expensive yogurt starter, just go get a $.69 cup of yogurt from the market and use it as a starter. Just make sure it uses "active cultures" or you won't get no yogurt.
5 Stars!
Customer Review: My yogourmet is over 30yrs old... and going!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own the original 1970's yogourmet yogurt maker and it is still working like new (the only way to tell it's that old is the 'old style' power cord on it ;)
the thick walls of the unit allows for gentle heating and the water bath maintains a more even temperature all the way up the 'bucket' without overheating at the bottom.
when i run out of the yogourmet starter culture (which makes a tangy yogurt), i use a 6oz container of stoneyfield plain yogurt as a starter (which has 6 different cultures and yields a delicate flavor)
once you have discovered real yogurt (that is, tangy and a little runny), you will never be able to eat that overly sweet, wall paper glue of a concoction american dairy companys parade as yogurt.
Customer Review: Works great

I tried making yogurt without a yogurt-maker, but it's too hit and miss. Keeping the temperature constant is apparently a bigger deal than I'd read. Now that I have my Yógourmet maker, it always turns out fine. FYI, I use Stonyfield Farm plain yogurt as a starter. I buy a quart at a time and freeze it into cubes to use whenever I make a batch.
I use generic powdered milk (Kroger brand) instead of liquid because it's always fresh. It's much cheaper, too! To make my yogurt thick, I use 1/3 more powder than recommended. I've also experimented with adding gelatin to the water before adding the powdered milk. If you do this, be sure not to use very much gelatin or you'll get jello-yogurt! Also, gelatin must be added to a very small amount of water to "soften" it first. If you make the mistake of pouring dry gelatin directly into a pot of water, you get a blob which won't dissolve no matter what you do!
Now I make two quarts of yogurt at a time with my Yógourmet yogurt maker, and I never have yogurt which is too runny or weird.
Customer Review: It's so easy!!

This is the first {and only} yogurt maker that I've ever owned, but I sure do like this one. I have made several batches of yogurt so far, and they have all turned out perfectly. I used some organic plain yogurt as a starter. I don't think you need to purchase starter in a package, unless one was after a specific culture. Once again, a nice yogurt maker that's high quality and easy to use. The thermometer that comes with it is invaluable. Nice that it's included.
