Re: OT - No longer need Eurocuisine Yogurt Maker if you need one

[Guest guest]

Isn't the excalibur pretty large? I was thinking you may want to hang on to this

for travel- like if you went to the beach for a week..or went to visit friends

on a road trip. The yogurt maker would be easier to take along.

I'm just curious...how does the excaliber make yogurt. I've checked out Lucy's site but it doesn't make sense. I'm hoping to get to the point where my little yogurt maker just isn't enough.To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sun, April 4, 2010 3:05:30 PMSubject:

The excalibur provides the environment with the correct temperature that we set.

The newer models have a timer so it switches off on it's own (it is beyond

sweeeeet!) so basically I set mine to the temp and to 26 hours and I don't have

to worry about it like I did in the Yogurmet. I cannot express how many batches

I chucked because I forgot about it. Even with post-its like everywhere!

Misty,

you rock comparing your dehydrator to an Iphone!

I still don't have an Iphone. I should though. Thinking about the android as I

don't wanna switch cell providers.

Do you want to use lids at all when you use your masons?

Seems like the lids would get toxic in there- just sayin'.

If you have a solution please let me know.

Rumor has it that Apples exclusive contract with AT & T expires in 2010. Lots of people think that at that point the iPhone will be available through more carriers. Who knows, but it's something you might want to consider before getting a Droid. Not that Androids are bad (they are quiet good), just want you to know all your options

And yeah, I second that comparing your dehydrator to an iPhone is pretty rockin'. Kudos.~

That's the IT person in me. As s former IT person, you get it. Yay!!!

I'll put plastic wrap over my mason jars. I don't like using plastoc in a warm

environment at all but since it will never touch the yogurt I think it will be

ok.

I follow alot of tech blogs/Twitter people and it's pretty much known they are

trouble because of mobile to mobile.

Misty,

Ok. I am thinking of maybe like a cotton cloth kind of thing?

Cool. I didn't even think of something like wrap around!

See how you induced ideas into my thick head?

Loving it!

LOL! A good friend's husband works for AT & T, so of course she has

AT & T. But when we got our cells after Hurricane Katrina, my parents

had Verizon, my sister had Verizon, my niece had Verizon, so, guess what

we got?

A big rubber band would work good and you could still wrap the cloth around it.

I think I just found use for my cheesecloth I never use. The plastic wrap holds

the thermometer in place.

Heya Misty,

Not trying to interrogate you <chuckle>

but why do you keep a thermo in there?

You don't trust the excalibur temp?

Thanks!

Because I've only made 2 batches and I want to make sure that my house doesn't

get too hot and the temp rise too much in my Excalibur. And, the temp gauge on

the Excalibur doesn't have an exact temp setting on it. I just wanted to make

sure. And, I thought it would be easier to leave the thermometer in there

instead of having to resterilize it each time I wanted to take the temp. I'm not

running my A/C yet and my house is staying about 84 during the day.

Just being overcautious I guess, but that's my nature.
