Dash DSY007CM Yogurt Maker Machine With Steel Base Digital Display Auto Timer, Stainless

This makes making great yogurt really, really easy. Came with seven little glass jars, with plastic lids. One lid is cracked, but still can still be used. The main cover is plastic, so I’m hoping that lasts a while. The inside is one level surface — no grid or anything for the jars, so if you wanted to make a large batch of “yo” in a bowl instead, you could do it, but we use the jars. Super easy — just the milk of your choice, heated to boiling while the maker is heating up and your starter is coming to room temp (we use a plain greek yogurt we get at the healthfood store), whisk in powdered milk if you want it really thick, whisk in the starter, ladle into the jars, put ’em in the machine, cover, set the timer for how ever many hours — 8 works just fine… and then be patient. In 8 hours, put it in the refrigerator and… be patient again. In the morning after the “yo” has cooled, mix it with whatever you like (a little cinnamon, pumpkin puree, chopped dates, and raw sugar, anyone?) Or just some fruit, wheatberries, and a little blackberry honey? SOOOOOO much better than what’s in the stores. Great on baked potatoes (sweet or otherwise) in place of sour cream. Also great on tacos…. And with it this easy, what’s not to love? It has two buttons (basically up/down and hour selection) and a little window that counts down. A little common sense and a quick read of the manual, and you are totally good to go. And yes, made from goats milk — heavenly. Haven’t tried soy yet, ‘cuz we’re too busy eating the other…
