I am not familiar with the Stayfit product. However the Fresh Stars container works well. Keeps cold and seals tightly but still remains easy to open.

I do not have the Stay Fit one but I LOVE this one. I love it because the whole thing freezes and you can just drop in a standard yogurt container instead of scooping it in!

Yes, I actually use 2 one quart plastic containers much like the included one with great success. The lid of the yogurt maker doesn't fit all the way down but I increase the cooking time to 12 hrs. The mason jars work the same. I like greek yogurt so I use the larger quarts and strain, then I fill the mason jars.

Also I love this machine because It has a tall lid and I make my yogurt in pint jars. My yogurt is usually set in 2 hours. It is much better than store bought yogurt and I can control the ingredients. I eat a half cup of plain with 1 packet of truvia and a dash of vanilla extract and 1/3 c of my homemade granola for breakfast.

Take a colindar(?) and line it with cheesecloth. Dump the yogurt in and leave it for about an hour. I love Greek yogurt as well, and it works.

My question is: do you just get the commercial yogurt and let it sit on the counter for a day? I guess as long as it is sealed other stuff can't get in there to ferment as well. I'd appreciate hearing if you have tried this.

The Yogurtmet maker is too hot for the SCD diet. I'd love to find one that keeps the temperature between 100-110 degrees. Any suggestions?

I use the Fit & Fresh Kids containers in my son's lunch Delicious Agent lunch box. Two of the oval shaped containers fit well with the 12 oz Thermos Funtainer. There is even a little extra room for a granola bar or something else similar in size. Agreed, it is a little heavy and the latch can take some getting used to, but we love our Delicious Agent!

sorry, I was sent to Afghan while I ordered this product, but never gotit. The company was great about a refund. I do have a bigger Haier Frige MOdel HMSEO5WABB, that everyone uses here in the Sand Box, we keep it at 5 1/2 just right for everyone. The ICE cream does become soft due to a poor seal on the freezer box and extreme Temp changes here 90-100F in day and 60F at nght and constant opening of the door by everyone.

Not sure exactly but I leave the yogurt in the yogotherm for at least that long and even longer with no harm to the yogurt. In fact the longer, the more firm. I love this and have used it steady.

Hi Andrea, Your question caught my eye because I'm trying to learn to follow the GAPS diet. Do you have any recommendations on making yogurt? I'm trying to decide on the most effective method to make yogurt on a regular basis. Any tips would be most appreciated.

i agree that the jar is not very accurate by the measurement. but i never had 2.5 cups of leftover! that's a bit too much... i usually put in 6oz yogurt (1 of those store bought, or one jar from last batch), then add 18 oz of milk. that'd do. once you do a few batches, you'll have a pretty good idea of how much you need to put in there. Or you can always use the cups that come with it to measure. that'd never go wrong. on a different note, if you ever have extra leftover mixture, just drink it. :) I like it that way anyways. sometimes if i made the yogurt too sour, i just add some milk, and do a yogurt drink. you can use that for smoothy as well. don't waste it~ :)

THANKS for the information....I purchased the one with 8 individual jars and it has a curing time option of 19 hours-59 minutes which is great. I reset it for 4 more hours. I think the larger units are better however. THe small batch get VERY thick, however, I start with 1/2 and 1/2 always. One interesting note....the batches seem to be MUCH better starting from scratch as opposed to using yogurt from a previous batch.

I read the reviews about shipping problems and found that Whole Foods carries this in their refrigerated section. I ended up buying mine there.

Bigger container has gell in walls and smaller got gel on lid. The big one (at least mine) has no gel on lid. But I am veru happy with the product. I use it to send yoghurt for my kids snack at school and five hours later its still cold. The small one I only use it for cereals so I dont know if it works OK. I would definitely buy it again.

you can store both items but you will want to store cold items in top container. As for coldness yeah it doesn't stay that cold but I've put yogurt in there andit was still somewhat cold.

I use store bought yogurt. I priced out the packets that come with the Yogourmet. I was able to get them relatively cheap at a big box health foods store. They were also carried at a smaller health foods store another with another brand that came in a jar. I liked the individual pre-measured packets so I stuck to them.

Thank you! I have found that one cannot repeat using started yogurt--by putting one I made into the new batch. Interesting that the culture "gives out" after a few repeats.
