Country Trading Co. Stainless Steel Yoghurt Maker with 1 Quart Glass Jar and Complete Recipe Book to Make 12+ Easy Homemade Dairy Free and Milk Yogurts

I am very excited about this yogurt maker (OK I don't get out as much as I should...) It looks great and performs even better. It doesn't require any electricity either. The unit comes with a little 4-colour booklet full of useful information. It includes recipes for many kinds of yogurt and other fermentables, including Greek yogurt and plant milk yogurts. For my first foray into yogurt making, I used 3.8% mf goat milk and Yogourmet starter. There was a sentimental reason for this. Many years ago, I worked at St. Mary's Hospital in London, where I befriended a lady who lived in Hampstead Heath and kept a goat. She made wonderful raw milk goat yogurt flavoured with blackberries from the heath. I will never forget that incredible flavour and practically lived on the stuff for a year. Many decades later, I tried store-bought goat yogurts, but none came close and most tasted just like cow. The yogurt was a little runny (first try!) but had enough lumpiness to be called yogurt and not kefir. I stirred in some unsweetened blackberry jam and... AND (!) the flavour that I remember so well was right there in the jar. This tells me that, even though the milk was pasteurized, something magical happens when you make homemade yogurt, and/or something is lost in the commercial production process. I can thoroughly recommend this yogurt maker.

I used this yogurt maker from Country Trading Company for the first time today, and I love it! ( Previously I had only made yogurt in my InstantPot, so this is what I used for comparison.) First, the yogurt maker was a much better size for my purposes - it is compact and so does not take up much space on the counter. That being said, it only makes one quart at a time, which may be an issue for some. Second, it is very easy to use. Third, I love the simplistic functionality of the design- it’s back to basics, no need for electricity to run for hours. Sure it’s a glass jar in a stainless steel thermal container, but it works perfectly! Fourth, no repeated purchasing of yogurt in plastic containers. Lastly, it made delicious tasting yogurt! You do need a reliable thermometer to make yogurt, which is not included in the kit. I used Euro Cuisine Yogurt Thermometer-analog dial type. The overall process was faster and less cumbersome than when I used my InstantPot, so it really is a great little yogurt maker!

Works perfectly, and the included recipe and I formationbook is very good.. helped me up my yoghurt game! I made a jar (850mls.. the quart is the outer steel flask) of lovely thick soya yoghurt using a dollop of bought Alpro, but I ordered cultures too, and will try those next time. About 50p fir 850 mls great, fresh, live yoghurt!

Amazing. Done well only one-page instructions (Guide & Recipes 'HOW TO USE' Page 8). Advised pouring warm water in the maker around a glass jar, to keep culturing temperature. See 'TEMP TIP' below the instructions. Practically I changed warm water twice during 8 hours culturing, to keep it at least near the heat of the human body. Tumbled at the kitchen, I've had a good time. すごっ。うまくできました。1ページ分の手順の通りです (ガイド & レシピ Page 8 ｢HOW TO USE｣ を参照) 。発酵適温となるように、温水をステンレス製メーカーに注ぎ入れてガラス容器の周りを満たすよう、下の欄の ｢TEMP TIP｣ にありました。実際のところ、少なくとも人の体温程度に温度を保つようにと、発酵待ちの8時間で二度、温水を入れ換えてみました。キッチンでどたばたしてしまいましたが、よい時間を過ごせました。

Fantastic product, used it for the first time yesterday and have just produced my first ever homemade yoghurt and it is perfect. Better than shop bought. The yoghurt maker worked exactly as it is supposed to and even better that it is simple to use, electricity free. I was concerned that the metal insulation would be too thin and wouldn’t retain enough heat (particularly as I live in a cold climate and we are heading into winter) but I was pleasantly surprised, the jar was still warm when I removed it from the insulated cover in time to put it into the fridge. It is large enough to make enough yoghurt to last one person more than a week, but compact enough to easily store it, and pretty enough to just leave out on the counter if you wanted to. It’s made of good quality materials, doesn’t feel flimsy, and comes with a helpful guide and recipe book. I would absolutely recommend this product, I don’t have any bad things to say about it.
