I set my yogurt maker for 12 hours, which will be in the middle of the night. Can I leave it in the machine until morning?

Yes, leaving it until morning is fine as the milk has been cooked and needs to cool. Refrigerate once it has cooled.

Once the yogurt cycle is over, it should be immediately transferred to the fridge. If you leave it in the machine for six hours with no heat the whey will completely separate from the yogurt and cause a lot of lumps. I've done it. It definitely takes some pre-planning to make sure you're at home and awake when the yogurt is ready.

I assume you are talking about the heating of the milk before you pour it into the Yogurt Maker. (the yogurt maker is necessary to keep the milk at a warm temp for 8 hours while the yogurt starter multiplies.) I started out by using a candy thermometer to bring the milk to the required temperature, and it wasn't reliable. Now I do it "by sight" and it works perfectly every time: I stir over medium heat until JUST BEFORE boiling. The milk starts to get little bubbles on the surface. If it breaks into a boil, no harm is done, just remove from heat immediately. The milk is not that fussy. I set a timer to the approximate time it will take - makes me watch carefully at the end. Do not underheat - that will be a disaster and the milk will run through the sieve.

I use mine almost exclusively to make low-fat frozen yogurt. It works very well. The key is to make sure all your ingredients are cold before you put them in the machine (including ingredients, like fruit, that you add near the end). The yogurt is pretty solid after about 30 minutes. I've been very pleased with this machine.

It does not preheat the milk, but it will make perfect yogurt without going to that trouble! Just add the starter to the liquid, stir, and hit start. I like the 12 hour time for heating and cooling because it is so easy to keep track of!

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.

On their website in the blog section there is a recipe tip on using the pot to heat the milk. It says to put the desired amount of milk in and turn the pot on to high for 50 minutes. Test temperature and it should be around 120. Then proceed to add yogurt starter and turn unit to yogurt setting. I have used this method and yogurt has turned out fine every time. Sure beats heating the milk on the stove before adding to yogurt maker.

You can use yogurt from your last batch to make the next batch. Keep in mind the batch size does shrink down when strained meaning you won't have as much to enjoy for eating. I keep a store bought container around for starter. I keep the homemade for enjoyment.

You are right. I make my yogurt in a yogotherm (12 hours) then transfer to the Euro Cuisine for 18 hours. If I am not going to be home from work at the time it should be out, I just dump some of the liquid and it will be fine until I get home, It is in the refrigerator during this time anyway. I then put it in 1/2 pint jars, leaving room to add some Organic Maple syrup (adding a little unsweetened coconut is also good.) It is well worth the time it takes, and the result is such good nutritious yogurt.

no setting, but you can leave it plugged in/on for as long as you want. for 24 hour (SCD) yogurt you need to buy a dimmer switch because it gets too hot after about 6 hours

So sorry I was late responding: what I do is place Yougtherm in cooler box with a couple milk bottles of HOT water over night... perfect yogurt every time.

I have never had any issues with getting my yogurt to set. It does take so e experimentation. I buy a fresh starter yogurt day of to use and I typically put twice the recommended amount in as my starter. Make sure you do not burn the milk as this will make the yogurt not set. I leave my machine on for 11 hours to get thick Greek like yogurt. I hope this helps.

You'll need to turn it off and re-set. I do mine by setting my first timing when I wake in the morning, then, when it goes off, we turn it on again, and turn it on a 3rd time right before bed.If you've never done 24-hr culture before, you'll need to know that the curds and whey will separate -- that is -normal- with long-cultured yogurt. It also won't be quite as thick as shorter-culture yogurt (but it makes MUCH better yogurt cheese, IMO).

Here's some how-to information: http://www.healthgoods.com/Shopping/Appliances/Euro_Cuisine_YM80_Yogurt_Maker.aspLooks like you didn't leave it in long enough.

I use three tablespoons plain yogurt ,1/2 cup dry powdered milk and 2 1/2 cups milk or a little more to fill the Easiyo. Sets in 6 hours. Refrigerate.

yes, to make Greek yogurt after 6 hours you would drain the yogurt in the refrigerator over night.

I am looking for a bread machine that is able to dough for me, after which I take it out for a few hours for fermentation and then put it back into the machine for baking, does the machine have settings for me to do all that without going﻿ through all the cycle at once?

My machine put out no heat at all. All the yogurt in it sat at room temperature for about 13-14 hours.
