Re: Appliances & yogurt question

[Guest guest]

I hope some pecan bread cooks write in with answers! I'm sure we all want to

know. I am especially interested in hearing what brand and model of thermometer

if anyone has a really good one. I've had many thermometers at many different

prices and cannot find any two that are ever the same (or even relatively close,

I wouldn't quibble over 2 or 3 degrees, but 10 or 20 can make all the difference

in the world) I've gotten the feeling that the whole kitchen thermometer

industry is just a scam, especially after having tried a few that were pretty

expensive and still don't test out to show if any one of them is accurate.

Cooking Thermometer (what kind?)

I already have a coffee grinder coming in (for almonds) & I have a

good blender as well. I also have a food dehydrator but haven't

really used it yet.

Another question is how many were dairy free & tried the yogurt &

how did you react to it? Me & 3 of the kids are dairy free at the

moment & don't react well to it at all. If I were to make the

yogurt, I would only try it with raw goat's milk, which I've heard

is best for folks like us - IF that's legal (I haven't found it on

the lists yet; it says all milk fluids illegal on the list I have

from the " BTVC " website, but yogurt has to be made with something).

I know yogurt can also be made with coconut milk, but I realize the

canned is no good so I'd have to make my own. Has anyone tried that?

Hope the questions are okay; thanks again,

Michele

Yes, you can use goat or cow milk to make your own yogurt, but it doesn't

have to be raw. I'd use raw if I could get it around here. From what I

understand, many people can tolerate goat yogurts who cannot tolerate cow

yogurt. My lactation consultant tells me that it is because goat milk has

properties very similar to human milk, and very few children have problems

with their mother's milk. My dan doctor and dan dietician backed that up,

too. Someone more experienced can give you details on when and how to go

about trying this introduction of goat yogurt. We waited about a month into

scd before trying it.
