Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 How do you use the dimmer switch? HOw many hours into the process? I have a different type of yogurt maker so I'm not sure if it will be the same as you but I need an idea.Thanks!Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa =DI realized that my yogourmet was overheating, so I bought the dimmer switch. Unfortunately, I didn't turn it down fast enough and I found the temp at 124 degrees. I turned it down and it got to 110 in a couple of hours, but should I throw it out? Once it gets that hot, are all the good bacteria killed instantly? Please advise. heatherUC 12y, SCD 4 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 How do you use the dimmer switch? you turn or set the dial so it is not at full power. HOw many hours into the process? depends on your machine - if you do it to start - it will take forever to gethigh enough. so that is not helpful. I have a different type of yogurt maker so I'm not sure if it will be the same as you but I need an idea.it's empirical. you have to test yours and play around with it to find out. but you can turn it down once it starts getting towards 110 or obviouslyonce it is higher.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 No, it doesn't mess up the process.You just have to stick in a sterile themomter (dipped in boilingwater and cooled for a minute) a few times to figure outwhat the temp is and then play around with your dimmerto make sure you are getting the yogurt in the right range.

From what I can gather all Yogourmets will overheat. The machine doesn't have a heat controller -- it just turns on and applies heat. It's not intended to run for 24 hours -- it's designed for the more typical 5-7 hours. Knowing that it surprises me so many people use it for SCD yogurt. I don't know if there's a better commercial solution but I use an electric griddle, large pot for water and an inner stainless steel bowl. Works perfectly. Cheap too. -- Cheers, DF in MA UC June '07 SCD Nov '08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
