Re: Newbie-Yogurt in the oven/verses the machine

[Guest guest]

Hi TC,

I have a yogurt maker, but I've been experimenting with the oven method, because

I can't make very much yogurt in the yogurt maker, and I end up making it almost

every other day.

I'm still trying to figure out which bulb to use. Most people say a 40 watt or

60 watt bulb should work well enough to heat your oven, but I tried a 75 watt

and it still wasn't quite at 100 degrees. I'm going to try a 100 watt to see if

that works. I think it takes some experimenting.

FYI, don't make my silly mistake and use an energy efficient bulb, since they

don't give off enough heat. However, I know they're going to phase out

incandescent bulbs eventually, though not for a few years, but even so, if I

perfect my yogurt making in the oven, eventually I'll have to go a different

route.

Many people use a dehydrator for their yogurt that they can make in large

quantities. I'm looking into doing that, but they're expensive. Also in the

research that I've done on dehydrators, some of the plastic ones have concerns

of being made with plastic that contain BPA, and the stainless steel ones are

even more expensive.

Whatever you decide, I hope your yogurt making experience goes well. Good luck!

Take care,

Amber

Its costly so I'd like to see how the oven yogurt method works for people.

Husbands not a huge yogurt fan, but after two weeks and looking forward not

having any type of dairy but cheese I think he'll like it.

Amber,

Have you tried turning on your oven right at the start, at the lowest setting, just for a minute or two to bring the heat up? That's what I do. If I didn't I don't know if just the bulb alone would bring it up to 100 deg. I also cover the back element with the vent to hold the heat in. This keeps my temp hovering right around the 100 deg mark. And I use the 60 watt bulb. DarleneIntestinal Dysbiosis/CFSSCD 11 weeks

We ended up getting the 2 QT Yogourmet at

http://www.digestivewellness.com/itempage-1853-24-13-1652.html.

They also sell 2 QT glass jars (with a plastic lid) which fit the machine

perfectly and are a far sight cheaper than other offerings I searched for.
