" ... There's a lot of rigamarole making yogurt the old fashioned way and, honestly, there are some great tasting yogurts on the store shelves that probably won't kill me. ... *It keeps the yogurt warm and then it refrigerates it so you don't have to be there or set a timer or get up in the middle of the night to put it in the refrigerator. ... *It fits in a relatively small space which is important when there are so many appliances fighting for limited counter space or storage space. ... "
" ... Holds 6 cups of milk (maybe a bit less if you have to add cultured yogurt rather than a starter). ... I DO sometimes leave it cooking overnight. ... "
" ... We use Noosa original culture and this yogurt machine made perfect yogurt, consistent, smooth and creamy. ... "
" ... I've been working on a coconut milk yogurt for a while, and finally have something that is wonderful. ... This makes better yogurt than you can purchase in a store. ... (You can use either their Coconut Milk or their Coconut Cream. ... Cook a minute or two, whisking away. ... It's a great sweetener that won't raise your blood sugar, and tastes just like sugar with no funny aftertaste.) ... "
" ... Yogurt taste great ... "
" ... But it handles a quart of milk which is practical and makes sense. ... Any recipe can be modified for far less time. ... Each recipe differs with content of fat, sugar, quantity and quality of culture, and time of incubation. ... "
" ... I have made it with non-fat milk and 1% fat both came out great. ... "
" ... I had my doubts about making good yogurt without heating the milk, but I wanted to give it a try. ... I'll never go back to all that fuss, and I know I'll make yogurt much more frequently. ... "
