I bought this yogurt maker on July 2nd 2024. It has been making delicious yogurt for me. Beautiful design and easy to use. The stainless steel disk at the bottom fell off. Under it was a disk of glue that had disintegrated, and today it fell off. Under this is what appears to be a small black round fill of some sort. I communicated with the manufacturer in new zealand and they assured me the disk is cosmetic only. because I love everything about this yogurt maker and the delicious yogurt that it makes and the manufaturer has good customer service i give it 5 stars

I missed having fresh yogurt, so I took a chance on this product. I liked that no plastic was involved and that it didn't require any electricity to work. I love full-fat yogurt, but it must be lactose-free, so I tried it out with whole milk Lactaid and the Cuisine yogurt culture. The result was perfection! The yogurt is delicious and just the right consistency I want! I HIGHLY recommend this. I am reading about the jar breaking easily so I will be sure to get a replacement jar ready in the event mine cracks, but so far, so good. Highly recommend.

This is a simple, low tech way to brew a quart of yogurt, which can go further to 'greek' yogurt. Easy to clean and store. I also bought some 'starter' but can use a bit of last batch or purchased yogurt to brew it.

I am very excited about this yogurt maker (OK I don't get out as much as I should...) It looks great and performs even better. It doesn't require any electricity either.The unit comes with a little 4-colour booklet full of useful information. It includes recipes for many kinds of yogurt and other fermentables, including Greek yogurt and plant milk yogurts. For my first foray into yogurt making, I used 3.8% mf goat milk and Yogourmet starter. There was a sentimental reason for this. Many years ago, I worked at St. Mary's Hospital in London, where I befriended a lady who lived in Hampstead Heath and kept a goat. She made wonderful raw milk goat yogurt flavoured with blackberries from the heath. I will never forget that incredible flavour and practically lived on the stuff for a year. Many decades later, I tried store-bought goat yogurts, but none came close and most tasted just like cow.The yogurt was a little runny (first try!) but had enough lumpiness to be called yogurt and not kefir. I stirred in some unsweetened blackberry jam and... AND (!) the flavour that I remember so well was right there in the jar.This tells me that, even though the milk was pasteurized, something magical happens when you make homemade yogurt, and/or something is lost in the commercial production process.I can thoroughly recommend this yogurt maker.

I used this yogurt maker from Country Trading Company for the first time today, and I love it! ( Previously I had only made yogurt in my InstantPot, so this is what I used for comparison.) First, the yogurt maker was a much better size for my purposes - it is compact and so does not take up much space on the counter. That being said, it only makes one quart at a time, which may be an issue for some. Second, it is very easy to use. Third, I love the simplistic functionality of the design- it’s back to basics, no need for electricity to run for hours. Sure it’s a glass jar in a stainless steel thermal container, but it works perfectly! Fourth, no repeated purchasing of yogurt in plastic containers. Lastly, it made delicious tasting yogurt! You do need a reliable thermometer to make yogurt, which is not included in the kit. I used Euro Cuisine Yogurt Thermometer-analog dial type. The overall process was faster and less cumbersome than when I used my InstantPot, so it really is a great little yogurt maker!

Amazing. Done well only one-page instructions (Guide & Recipes 'HOW TO USE' Page 8). Advised pouring warm water in the maker around a glass jar, to keep culturing temperature. See 'TEMP TIP' below the instructions. Practically I changed warm water twice during 8 hours culturing, to keep it at least near the heat of the human body. Tumbled at the kitchen, I've had a good time.すごっ。うまくできました。1ページ分の手順の通りです (ガイド & レシピ Page 8 「HOW TO USE」 を参照) 。発酵適温となるように、温水をステンレス製メーカーに注ぎ入れてガラス容器の周りを満たすよう、下の欄の 「TEMP TIP」 にありました。実際のところ、少なくとも人の体温程度に温度を保つようにと、発酵待ちの8時間で二度、温水を入れ換えてみました。キッチンでどたばたしてしまいましたが、よい時間を過ごせました。

I consume 1-2 quarts yogurt every month and use for sweet (fruit, nuts) and savory (soup topper) dishes. I didn't want to buy any more yogurt in plastic containers. I didn't want an electric yogurt maker or one with tiny glass jars.I bought the SS Yogurt Maker 2 months ago and have made 4 batches of yogurt so far. Turns out perfect every time. Great thickness and flavor. I start with organic whole milk, cream on top, vat pasteurized. I hold at 180F for 20 minutes, cool to 110F and inoculate, then incubate 8-10 hours. I've used a powdered (Bulgarian) culture but didn't like the flavor--also it is expensive. Then I used plain yogurt as starter that I liked better. Now I save 3-4 tablespoons out of every batch and put in a small container in the freezer for the next batch. No more plastic. No electricity needed for incubation. Easy, affordable, delicious, foolproof.

UPDATED: Downgraded from 5 to 1 stars since there are serious quality issues with the jars. This is the second jar that has cracked with minimal use. The first one (part of the original set) cracked on the bottom after only being used to make yogurt 3 or 4 times. Since the system worked so good, I figured maybe I got a lemon and would order a replacement. Just tried to make yogurt again tonight for the first time with the new jar and this second jar cracked near the bottom while pouring in the warm milk--actually popped out a small hole near what looks like a very thin seam in the glass. I use raw milk so only heated it to 105 degrees (to preserve the healthy bacteria in the milk), so this wasn't even heated up to the recommended 190 degrees per the seller's instructions. So, clearly a quality issue with the jars. I'm pretty frustrated that I've now wasted a fair amount of expensive milk. I won't be purchasing again and will have to look elsewhere for another jar that will work. I've never had this issue with Ball jars. Why would the seller send out jars that can't handle any heat or normal wear and tear? Disappointing!!I ordered this a while ago and only just got around to using it recently. I was interested in finding a plastic-alternative for both the maker and container. I've followed the instructions exactly the few times I have used it and have had excellent results so far, even with using raw milk (you can only heat the milk to 105 F if you want to keep the good bacteria from the raw milk in the finished product). I heated up both the jar and container with scalding hot water (from the faucet) and let them set for about 10 minutes, refilling with hot water after the first 5 minutes. After placing the warmed milk and starter in the jar, and after placing the filled jar in the container, I place mine on a thick woven trivet and place it in the oven, wrap it in thick dish towels, and close the door. Fermenting for 12 hours seems to work better than the 8-hour batch, resulting in thicker yogurt. After fermenting, place the jar straight into a very cold refrigerator (about 36 F) for 36 hours to help it set. The texture is not quite as thick as Greek yogurt (with the longer ferment) but still pretty thick. I'm straining this last batch to see how that works.My only complaint is that I've only used this 3-4 times so far and the jar already cracked on the bottom after this last use, without any associated trauma to it, so I will have to order a replacement jar if I want to continue using this to make yogurt. It's a shame because it seemed to be a sturdy wide-mouthed jar.I would still recommend it to anyone wanting a very simple way to make yogurt without using any plastic.

Parfait pour faire du yaourt sans électricité, attention la jarre fait un peu moins d'1 litre. Première fournée réussie.ma recette 1l de lait entier chauffé à 40° + 80ml de lait concentré non sucré (pour que le yaourt soit plus ferme) + fermentspetite astuce : si vous n'avez pas de thermomètre faire bouillir 500ml de lait puis ajouter le reste de lait froid et le mélange est à la bonne température pour ne pas tuer les ferments.ne pas oublier de mettre de l'eau chaude dans le contenant en inox et dans la jarre avant de faire la préparation attention ne pas mettre d'eau bouillante mais de l'eau chaude du robinet.j'ai aussi un Yaourtière sans électricité mais tout est en plastique celle-ci ne contient aucun plastique.

Wirkt grundsätzlich wertig. Hatte aber eine Beule, die Verpackung schützt nicht ausreichend im Transport, der Verkäufer sollte sich da was besseres überlegen.Ich schicke es nicht zurück, es wird schon funktionieren. Aber ich werde es wohl nicht ein zweites mal kaufen, das Risiko ist zu groß.
