Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hi Fay, That happened to mine before. It's been a while but I think it happened when the temperature was way off. I don't think it would be good to eat it. Sheila, SCD 57 mos, 21 yrs UC mom of , SCD 42 mos > I have a 7 cup Donvier yogurt maker, at 22 hours now.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hi Fay, I just remembered the temperature of the yogurt maker was too low, that's why it seperated. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have let the milk cool down too much. Also, I don't know if this could impact it but I filled each cup almost to the top. Thanks and take care, Fay P.S. I just saw your other message about the temperature of the yogurt maker itself. Is there something I don't know about how to work the Donvier with individual cups? I just thought you put the cups in, the top on, plug it in, and that's it. The Yogourmet I borrowed had one plastic tub sitting in a water bath, so there there's something to control as far as the yogurt maker's temperature.

It still works (kind of) and is fine for those who don't care if all lactose is broken apart. I let my milk cool way down all the time so that probably is not the cause of the yogurt seperating. What I mean is that it probably did not bring the yogurt up to the proper range of 100°-110°F. > P.S. I just saw your other message about the temperature of the yogurt > maker itself.

I think you wrote that your yogurt maker was elderly so maybe it is time to get a new one I like the water bath idea of making yogurt - I think you'd likely get a more even temperature. I use a light bulb and box that my engineer husband rigged together to make 4 L of yogurt at a time. It works pretty good. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
