Re: Donvier Yogurt Maker???

> Okay, I received my non-dairy yogurt starter today and I'm about to purchase a

yogurt maker. I'm going to try making goat milk yogurt first and see how that

goes. Is the Donvier a good yogurt maker to purchase?

NO. Do not recommend it at all. And the containers are plastic not glass and

they

break after normal usage in the dishwasher - that is, not immediately, but they

really do not last very long. And you probably need a dimmer.

The timer is good though.

The easiest way to do it is using the oven light. (Or an excalibur but that is

a lot more

money.)

> It looks like it has glass containers which I prefer over plastic, and it has

an automatic timer so that might help with my short term memory problems.....

Does anyone here have one that could give me the thumbs up or thumbs down on

this model?

I have been using this cheapie $18.88 yogurt maker from WalMart:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5893631

I've taken the temp a couple of times while using it and it's been exactly

110 & #730;F each time.

It comes with seven small glass jars but I like using a 7 cup glass Pyrex bowl

that fits perfectly in the machine.

I figured for that price I didn't have much to lose and could always return it

if it wasn't satisfied with it.

Do you use a dimmer, or is it just always right on the temp as you

mentioned?

Oven method for making yogurt.

Get a 60 watt bulb for your oven

and put it in.

Turn on your oven light.

Do the normal prep. for yogurt. Put the

milk and the starter in their containers. And

then place them in the oven near the light.

24 hours + later, voila SCD yogurt. (Obviously

do this at a quiet time you don't need to use the oven

every few hours.)

Even if it doesn't last too long, it seems like a good way to get

started. And at that price, it doesn't owe you a lot if it does keel over

after awhile.

,

No dimmer. Just plug in and push the on button. Was making another

batch today so decided to check the temp again: exactly 110.

I've been really happy with it. We'll see how long an $18.88 yogurt

maker lasts though, he he.
