Yogurt Temp Control - 4Joanne

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne...Just came across this old email...this sounds like a great

gadget...just need to clarify, if the thermometer probe goes inside the yogurt

maker to monitor temp, isn't the lid in need of being slightly ajar the whole

time allowing the possibility or bacterial and yeast infiltration into the

yogurt as it processes?? Thanks for any further info. on monitoring method...MK

To all of you who plan on being on the SCD diet for a while, invest in a temperature controller for your yogurt maker. It takes all the frustration out of trying to maintain a viable temperature. If you have a yogurt maker that is controlled by water temperature (Yogourmet) or a container that you can put water into like the Euro cuisine or Salton, invest in a temperature controller. They cost approximately $50 to $100 and well worth it. You will be making yogurt once or twice a week for one to two years ...or more!!!! My Husband saw what a problem I was having trying to control the temperature between 100 and 110 degees for my Eurocuisine. So he went online and purchased a temperature controller that I set the temperature and it maintains whatever temperature I have chosen (I set mine at 108 degrees and that is where it stays

within 1 degree plus or minus.) I keep a piece of paper with the starting time taped to the lid and take it out 28 hours later. It's wonderful! Don't purchase the yogurt makers that have an automatic shut off. These temperature controllers have a probe that goes under the cover of your yogurt maker into the water that your yogurt jars or yogurt container sits in. You set the temperature to whatever you desire. Your yogurt machine is plugged into the controller and the controller is plugged into the outlet. That's it! The temperature controller will turn your yogurt machine off and on to maintain the temperature you have chosen. Just make sure the water level is maintained and the probe stays in the water throughout the 28 hours or whatever time frame you choose. My yogurt is perfect everytime and by

just glancing at the lighted dial I can see the temperature is being maintained removing any concern. It's great! Joanne UC/CC 5/07, SCD 6/07, no meds
