WHAT IS THE VERY VERY VERY BEST YOGURT MAKER OUT THERE?????

[Guest guest]

Okay...so sorry for this post. I did read all the links in the past to yogurt

machines, but since the latest buzz on here about specific temperature and

whatnot, I would like to know WHAT IS THE VERY BEST YOGURT MAKER

ON THE MARKET, regardless of price? Where can I get a professional yogurt

maker that does exactly what we want it to do? Does this product even exist?

I would not like to have to use heating blankets and ovens, etc...is there such

a thing out there? If not, with the rise in autism someone would be wise to

manufacture one just for SCD dieters!!

I have 2 boys with autism and have been on the diet for nearly 2 years minus

the yogurt. I think it is time for us to start this and I am panicked that I am

not

going to do it right! I really want this to work, no expense spared. Please

help?

Thank you all for your input!

Best,

Hi Rhonda,

I use a dehydrator and I can adjust the temperature to whatever degree

I want. I first try with water, wait several hours and then adjust,

If I put it on F 100 and I get F 90, then I see that I need to set it

to a temperature that is F10 more than the temperature needed. You

only need to this test with water once

On my dehydrator I need to put it on F 120 in order to get F105.

I am sure that in other models you might use a different temperature.

You are the boss and with a thermometer you can get exactly the

temperature that you want.

I also use my dehydrator for drying fruits and veggies. They come out

delicious!!!

I use a rack above the yogurt and dry the fruits at the same time that

I make the yogurt. We make 8 quarts of yogurt at the same time and use

glass canning jars.

Some folks use the dehydrator to make meringues or beef jerkies.

Please be aware that dried fruits are an advanced food.

I use the Excalibur model. I have seen cheaper dehydrators on Amazon

and welcome feedback about them.

I, too, want to tell Rhonda that her best bet is a dehydrator because

once the temperature is adjusted to your satisfaction, you can trust

that it will remain in that temperature range. Dehydrators, unlike

the yogurt makers, are designed to be used 24+ hours. I also have an

Excaliber. But for me, getting the correct temperature seems to be a

bit more complicated than Mimi described. There is a dial for the

temperature and not every degree is marked. The markings are at 85,

95, 105, 115, etc. Other temps are in the wide unmarked arc in the

middle between marks and you have to just guess where they are. The

dial indicator is not pointed. It is as thick as my little finger

and has a big fat dot on it, as if that helps! Usually the

adjustments I need to make are tiny and it is hard to move the dial

such a small amount accurately, so we go too high, too low, too high

too low.

Rhonda, if there is any dehydrator model out there with a digital

temperature control, I say get that one.

Some other things you need to know about making yogurt in the

dehydrator:

The dehydrator does not keep a steady temperature. It is like an

electric frying pan--when it gets to the set temp, it stops heating

for a while. Then when it drops to some lower temp it starts up

again. So I watch for a while to see what the swings are so that I

don't have it going above or below recommended temperatures. This is

different for me every time! Depending on how I position the

dehydrator on the counter, the swings in temp can be wider or

narrower. Why don't I just find a good spot and leave it? Because

the dehydrator takes up too much counter space and when I am not

using it, I want to push it back under the cupboards. I cannot leave

it pushed back when I use it because the temperature dial is on top

way in the back and cannot be seen when pushed back on the counter.

If you can find a model where the temperature control is in a spot

where you can see it more easily, get that one!

I think GIRMI is the same as the Euro Cuisine, they just changed the

name to Euro Cuisine in the newer models.
