Excalibre Dehydrator Questions or Electric Yoghurt Maker

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

So do people use dehydraters to make yoghurt, do they work well, I was thinking

of ordering the Yo Gourmet electric yogurt maker but dont want to use plastic

jars as fear the plastic would leach and dont want to order glass because it

would need to be shipped international as I am an Aussie. I imagine I would get

a glass jars in a thousand pieces.

Just like to get some feedback on how people find them before I spend the dosh

they seem pretty pricey. thanks again.

greg, I dont know about the yo gormet but I use the Excalibur dehydrator and I just buy jars from Woolworths with screw lids.  When the indise of the lids breaks down a bit, i use plastic wrap over the jar and under the lid. I have not had any problems with this.  I also but starter from Cheeselinks, and it gets sent from Melbourne to me in Sydney, with a cooler pack.

They actually have more than one if you look at all of them. I buy the one without bifidus.

Can you find 2 liter glass jars in Australia? I'm assuming so. <g>

My friend in Perth maintains it's pretty civilized, although people from

the rest of the country might disagree.

What you might wish to do is to email Lucy and ask about the

international shipping, and what she would recommend.

I know, by the way, that Excalibur does make a dehydrator suited to 220

current, so that is the one you would want if you got one of those. Then

you could use regular 1 liter containers and put up to eight of them in

the Excalibur to make your yogurt.

I was presuming the glass jars would be the exact specs for the electric canister, rather then just any glass jar, I ride a kangaroo to work but

They aren't specifically made by Yogourmet, but they do work.

I should think it'd be a toss up as to whether the bumps in the road are

worse than the 'roo bouncing.
