Fantastic product June 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I read almost every review before I bought this product, and as a result, I really learned how to make great yogurt. I came up with a few ideas on my own and I thought I would share them.
1. I also tossed the plastic container and now use a glass jar with lid. I boil the jar, lid, and any utensils I use. This is just an extra precaution - I want to make sure the right kind of bacteria is present in the yogurt.
2. I have tried almost every kind of plain yogurt on the market as a starter and I find that Stoneyfield Plain Organic works the best. It contains 6 different bacteria.
3. I also add 1/2 cup powdered milk, after the yogurt cools and before I add the starter yogurt.
4. I have tried almost every kind of milk available, whole, 2%, 1%, skim, organic and nonorganic. I have found that 2% organic does this trick. I have tried 2% nonorganic, and it is just a runny mess. If you want to be extra rich and don't care about calories, use whole organic and about 1 cup of heavy cream. Wow.
5. I like my yogurt THICK and so after sitting in the jar in the fridge, I strain it. BUT, I don't use expensive cheesecloth. I buy drainfitter material, found at any local hardware store. You can get of large roll for about $20. It does the same job as cheesecloth. Slip a colander in the sleeve (it is very elastic material), cut off the excess and sit the colander in a large bowl. Pour the yogurt in the colander (on top of the material) and sit the whole thing in the fridge, preferably overnight. The next day, all the liquid will be in the bowl and the remaining yogurt in the colander will be extremely thick.
5. For a super rich, almost dessert-like yogurt, add any thick jam and then whip it with the whip attachment of a hand-held mixer or immersion blender. Do you like Yoplait Whips yogurt? It will be thicker and more lush than that.
Overall, a great buy and it has spoiled me forever. No more supermarket yogurt for me.

Love it! June 18, 2008
I love this maker! It is easy to use, and convenient. I almost always have yogurt ready in only 5 hours.

Most reviewers give this a top rating, so I did too. I haven't tried mine out yet but trust the product in general. It's bulky but if you don't mind that then a good working one is probably fine for you. I piad $[...] for it on Amazon.com sale.

This product contains BPA - find a different yogurtmaker! May 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this yogurt maker 2 1/2 years ago and used it regularly. However, when the recent BPA scare came out, I contacted the company to ask if it contains BPA. At first they did not respond to me at all. When I tried again, they sent me a ridiculous boilerplate message about how the US gov't does not see BPA as being dangerous. I would strongly recommend using a non-plastic yogurt maker (or at least one that doesn't contain BPA, as the chemical especially leaches into food when heated, and the whole point of a yogurt maker is to incubate the yogurt at the proper temperature) rather than risking exposing your family to more of this chemical than they have already gotten. It's upsetting to think I was doing something healthy for my sons by making them homemade yogurt instead of the storebought find, only to learn that they were exposed to extra bpa because of this maker. I am using the glass jar method now.
