Good product for yogurt

I have made 3 batches of yogurt in this so far and they turned out perfectly.First batch I used cultures for Bulgarian yogurt and whole milk. I used the setting for Greek yogurt and set the timer for 20 hours. Then strained it using the included strainer. The yogurt came out very thick and tangy just as expected. I also had plenty of whey left over that I use for baking and I add small amounts to my dog’s food.For the second batch I used 1/4 cup of plain Chobani Greek yogurt and whole milk, used the Greek yogurt setting with timer set for 18 hours. After straining the yogurt was the same consistency as the starter yogurt. Very tasty with fruit and granola.The third batch I used 1/4 cup of leftover whey from the previous batch and the same settings on the machine. This also turned out perfectly.Care must be taken when cleaning the strainer. It’s somewhat fragile.I use whole milk from a local dairy that is low heat pasteurized and non-homogenized.What I love about this yogurt maker is that it’s not required to pre-heat the milk and cool it back down. Just add a small amount of water to the chamber, mix your starter and milk of choice to the included stainless steel container, place the container in the chamber and choose your settings. Then be patient.It’s so easy and I love that there’s so many settings and the timer goes up to 24 hours.

I made my first batch of yogurt yesterday, so it definitely works. As much as I'm about to write here, I wonder why I didn't dock another star. I think a lot is because I feel it nitpicky - the device did its job.The only complaint I have is that the language is really bad English and hard to follow at times. Got to read them slowly. With current advancements of AI technology, there really isn't a reason to be this poorly broken English. But then, I just had Copilot try to improve this text and it butchered things about the same level so I'm guessing that's what they used to write their manual!Some notes:1) I don't think you're supposed to use both lids at the same time,2) The strainer is just a slight bit too far down. When extracting the whey, the bottom layer of the yogurt will likely still be touching when all's done,3) the instructions mention nothing about heating and cooling down the milk. Everything I've read, however, says it's important to heat to 150-ish and cool back down to 100-105.I guess the TLDR for this is, you get what you pay for. It's an inexpensive unit. But it works AND it can do cheese (I've yet to try that because it seems I need cultures for that) unlike the high number of higher quality ones I see here.

Description states this device has temperature control. It does not. Read a couple reviews that said Natto temp was good for l. Reuteri. Checked yogurt halfway through to check temp of yogurt and it was at 117 F! 😡 This batch is ruined. The beneficial bacteria needs to ferment at a much lower temp. Sending back

Súper práctica , el yoghurt griego es delicioso , buen producto estoy feliz!!!!

This can't be used to make L. Reuteri cultured Dairy (yogurt), because you can't manually adjust the temperature. The temperature is preset and it only lets you choose the product you wish to make. None of those products have a low enough setting for L. Reuteri, but if you use the "yogurt" setting you can make L. Gasseri, which needs a higher temperature.

Works great.

It is a nice little yoghurt maker. It has different settings and times for Yogurt, greek yogurt and Nattos etc. I have used it for my L. Reuteri yoghurt and seems to be working quite well. The yoghurt setting is at 40C. I have tested the temperature and seems to be consistent. A friend also bought the same machine but her temperature setting seems a couple of degrees higher than mine. I think it is a bit of a luck of a draw. Mine is working fine and so far so good.
