Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Diane... I'm confused. Why do you want to transfer the yogurt into a different container? When we make yogurt, the container it is fermented in.... and cooled in... is the one it usually stays in. I have an extra batch container for my Yogourmet, too... but I just bought it so that I could start my next batch before the last one was completely gone. I think if you transfer it into the other jar, you may lose some of the " firmness " that it may have aquired when it sets up in the fridge.... and it will be a lot more liquidy. You certainly CAN transfer it if you want to.. you would not do it until it has chilled in the fridge for 6-8 hrs.... I just am not sure why you'd want to. patti Question about yogurt Hi I made my 1st batch of yogurt and it should be ready around 4:30 pm today. I also bought an extra glass jar from Lucy's Kitchen Shop for the yogurt. At what time do I transfer it to this jar...when it is still warm or after it cools in the refrigerator? Should it look a certain way when it is done prior to placing in the refrigerator to cool so that I know that it turned out alright?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Veterans, correct me if I'm wrong. Diane, didn't you just start scd this week? I believe that one is not supposed to eat the scd yogurt so early in the diet. You certainly should take a probiotic, but not be eating yogurt for a good several weeks.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I don't think it would lose any firmness or thickness. My sister-in-law makes five gallons of yogurt at one time because she has so many children, and that lasts her one week. She heats her milk in a huge pot that then is placed in the oven for fermentation. She transfers it to a huge plastic container when it is finished, and it is still thick. I do usually also leave my yogurt in the container that I made it in, and have an extra one to start the next batch before the other is gone. I will have to pour my yogurt into something else next week though. I'm going to need both my containers to make yogurt for our trip to TX before we leave town. I do think that it will stay thick, but I wouldn't transfer it unless you really have to. Meleah scd 05/06 iel 3yrs., asd Ethan 5yrs., Mark 1yr.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi Meleah...No I haven't officially started yet, still waiting for my book to get here. I just made the yogurt to see what it would taste like...and if I am correct, you need that to make the cheesecake for the intro diet? I don't want to be trying to learn how to make all this stuff and start the intro diet all at the same time. Too stressful for me. So was making some things up ahead of time, i.e. froze the chicken broth that I made. In the meantime I can use all the probiotics I can get as I was diagnosed with Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth through the hydrogen breath test. I am already on VSL, so thought until I start the diet, homemade yogurt would be better for me. I have a hard time finding things to mix the VSL in ...and I do understand that it has a bacteria in it that is actually not good for me. Hope that explains...I want to be 100% committed when I start this diet, so being prepared ahead of time helps me realize that this is a doable diet. Thanks, Diane P.S. - What is the yogurt suppose to taste like when it is done...I just tasted a little bit after it was in refridgerator for a couple hours, and it taste sour like sour cream. I used 1/2 organic half and half and 1/2 organic whole milk. Thanks > Veterans, correct me if I'm wrong. Diane, didn't you just start scd > this > week?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Okay, when I called Lucy's Kitchen I saw that they had a plastic extra container and a glass one. I asked the man why I would want one over the other, and he said that many people have requested the glass one to hold there yogurt in. So I ordered that one instead thinking I would also be able to use that in the yogourmet yogurt maker. When I got it it appears that it is just a plain old glass jar with a plastic lid, not something you would use in the machine. So what I probably should have got was the Yogourmet extra batch container, which I am assuming I can use in the Yogourmet Maker while the other one is in the refrigertor. I'll find another use for my glass one, and just order a plastic one from him. Thanks, Diane > Diane... I'm confused. Why do you want to transfer the yogurt into > a different container?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Does she transfer it after it's chilled? Or right out of the oven? Just wondering....

You may want to add some vanilla and honey, though you'll probably get more used to it plain over time. Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Oh, wow.... I thought the glass batch jar for the Yogourmet was really a glass version of the plastic one, and that it would work in the machine, too. That's too bad! I guess it's for those who just really don't like the idea of storing anything in plastic for any length of time at all... and can't find their own glass jar?? Well, at any rate, it sounds like you probably can transfer it over, since other people are doing it successfully, I just always find that once my yogurt is done and chilled, then if I were to do something like stir up the entire container of yogurt, it would never re-set to it's original firmness, so I like to not disturb it. That wouldn't affect it's good qualities, though.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 We use organic whole milk, and it is pretty sour tasting. Much more than regular store bought yogurt.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Heyla, folks... Since there was some confusion about the glass jars which Lucy's Kitchen sells, I figured, best to ask Lucy herself. <g> My understanding, when we'd talked about it, was that the glass jar was, indeed, intended to go into the Yogourmet. In fact, I thought I remembered Lucy saying how hard she'd had to search to find them, since some people were concerned, for one reason or another, about making their yogurt in plastic. Her response to my inquiry was, " Yes, it is a glass jar with a plastic lid (glass lids aren't available!). It fits beautifully into the Yogourmet and makes a half gallon of yogurt. Most of our customers who prefer not to make their yogurt in plastic containers are delighted with it. " So, the answer is -- yes, the glass jar is intended to be used in lieu of the plastic container which comes with the Yogourmet if you prefer not to ferment in plastic. Hope this settles the confusion. Note: I've been using the plastic liners for over five years, and never seen the need to " transfer " the yogurt, until after it's chilled and dripped. My primary reason for dripping all my yogurt is because it's less sour, I like the thickness better, and, most important of all, dripped yogurt takes up less space in my refrigerator!! -- Marilyn (New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) Undiagnosed IBS 25 Years, SCD Five Years Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks so much on checking on this. Now I will be able to use my glass jar for it's intended use!
