technical yogurt questions

[Guest guest]

I have a couple of yogurt questions. (1) Frozen yogurt is a hit here! Does

freezing the yogurt maintain the good bacteria? For how long? (2) Our family

really likes yogurt. I make it a gallon at a time, using a large pot and a small

heating pad. Unfortunately, one of my heating pads burnt out. The other looks

like it's on its last legs, too. I've looked everywhere and at everything to

find a low-cost?solution to making yogurt on a large-scale. My crockpot tends to

cycle between too hot and too cold, not maintaining an even temperature. I

looked at new heating pads, but all the new models have " auto-off " features to

prevent it from going more than two hours at a time. The large dehydrator at

Lucy's Kitchen ($200) is way too expensive. The next best was a bed-warmer I saw

at Walmart, but it was also over-budget ($70). Any ideas?

Thanks! (in Canada)

,

Check out PetSmart or PetCo or a similar Canadian

pet super store for reptile or aquarium heaters.

Also, with a small (non-electric) travel fridge,

you can add a bulb socket and a 75 or 100 watt

bulb (you'll have to tinker to find out what

maintains the temperature you need) to heat the

interior of the fridge to the proper temperature

-- like using a larger bulb in an oven.

Hi, ,

There will be less viable bacteria in the frozen yogurt. How much, I

don't know and for how long, I don't know. I wouldn't count on it for

your main probiotic intake.

I was recently looking for heating pads for another purpose and I saw

some on amazon.com without the shutoff feature. They were the cheaper

ones.

I know what you mean about the automatic switch off buttons on the heating pads.

However, I didn't have a heating pad when I first started making yogurt (about

two months ago), so I went to Walgreens and they had one that is perfect for

yogurt making. It's a Walgreens name brand and it doesn't have an automatic

switch off. It'll go for however long it's plugged in! It was 14.00 if I

rememeber correctly.

How exactly do you do this with heating pads? I am

definitely curious as I am very poor right now.

Try reading this link for more info. It has how to do it with a heating pad, and

is far more articulate than I am. :-)

Let us know if you have more questions. :-)

I actually make yogurt with a heating pad. It works really well. But

I have the 2 hour shut-off kind. I set an alarm for every two hours

at night to reset it. I'm very dedicated to my yougurt making! ;-D

But my goat yogurt has always turned out very thick and delicious. I

keep a digital thermometer in it, to keep an eye on the temperature.

I'm getting a yogurt maker for Christmas...I need more sleep!

But really- the heating pad works, and would work REALLY well without

the shut off feature.
