Re: Old lurker returning to ask about yogurt makers

[Guest guest]

The Donvier didn't hold up for me (make 2 batches per week) - the

timer began to fail and I could no longer be assured it

was " cooking " evenly for the time I expected.

Euro has been great but I'm moving up to 3 batches per week and the

glass jars are a pain to clean out. Will be handing this over to a

friend who's just starting with SCD yogurt.

Just ordered the Yogourmet...

AMK

mom to Will, SCD over 1 year and kicking butt in his collab.
