What is the difference between this and the Salton YM9 yogurt maker? Which one is best? Thanks!

With the yogurmet, you can cook the yogurt for 24hours which makes the yogurt lactose free

have never used the salton YM9 maker, but the yogourmet is working fine for me after a few adjustments, to keep the temp constant

We had (and still have) a Salton yogurt maker and it's what prompted us to go with the Yogourmet model in fact. They both work equally well but the Yogourmet model has twice the capacity (2 quarts) and extra inserts are readily available so you can be making a batch while storing another one in the fridge. The yogurt this makes is so good that the 2 quart capacity was very welcomed!

I bought this for my daughter who used it to make yogurt, which takes ~ 6 hours. I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

Yogourmet starter packs work very good. I only use 1 packet directions say to use 2 my logic is the bacteria doubles every 10 or 15 minutes making millions into billions and billions into trillions. You did not ask that question but since you asked me I feel like giving you a complete answer. Yogourmet packs taste very tart so you will need to add more sweetener they start to work in 4 hours but I like high levels of probiotics so I go for 6 to 8 hours. This adds to the tartness so something tart becomes very tart. Additional information store bought is less tart and the best I have found is a product called Fage I use 1 heaping tablespoon. This product is more expensive then normal yogurt like dannon or store brand but much less tart even on a 12 hour batch. So what I do is buy the yogurt I like the best and a bunch of Ziploc small bags and scoop 1 heaping table spoon into each bag and throw them into the freezer each time I make yogurt I use a fresh bag thaw it and make it. You can use your own yogurt the same way but it becomes more tart each time. I also use 100 percent powdered skim milk 3 rounded cups and it makes 2 quarts. Many advantages of this is bring water to 180 degrees about 5 minutes put 3 rounded cups of powdered milk in blender 2 or 3 cups of the hot water blend 30 seconds add to the rest of the water. Cool it to about 105 degrees pour everything together (First mix a little with your starter inside yogourmet container) add the rest, mix good, and start. If you use normal milk you have to bee so careful and cleanup is terrible if you burn the milk but powdered milk is easy heat water add milk no mess. Very Quick and easy

I have not used this yogurt maker in awhile (I now use a yogourmet quart size), but I do believe there is a timer that goes off in less than 24 hours. The way I got around it was that I timed it for a few hours and then when it went off I reprogrammed it for the remainder of the 24 hour period, cuz usually I was around to program it for the remainder. I hope this helps and you are understanding my statement.Example: program time for 10 hours (at work), when I get home and alarm sounds, I reprogram for 14 more hours and then its done :-)

I don't know. I have made lots of different flavored ice cream and sherbet but haven't used yogurt yet. I will tell you not to use more than 3 cups of mixture as it can overflow bucket. Chill mixtue well and run machine to get bucket cold and it takes about 40 min. to get a soft serve texture and then freeze till firm

You are absolutely right, I'm having the same problem with the curdling. The instruction manual says to boil until the yogurt "runs up the side of the pot." I think the euro cuisine yogurt maker is baking the yogurt at too high a temperature. My old Salton 5-jar maker kept the yogurt just warm, not hot. The new one, when you remove the jars, the bottom is really very hot. I have no fix for this except to say that I am extremely disappointed with this yogurt maker and I think euro cuisine has a problem with these models.

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 own a similar yogurt maker by Salton that has been discontinued. It also ran hot. Since there's just a simple heating element in it, like a light bulb, I bought a plug-in dimmer switch like this -> Lutron TT-300H-WH Electronics Plug-In Lamp Dimmer, WhitePlug the yogurt maker into the dimmer and set the dimmer to about 75% of "full." By trial and error, this will cut the current to the yogurt maker and you can get your yogurt to 100-110 degrees F.

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.

the oven you already own with the light left on overnight is a perfect yogurt maker. no need to buy anything. but then again, an old T shirt makes a perfect yogurt strainer as well. tie the bottom in a knot, dump in the yogurt, and hang it up over the sink or over a bowl if you want to keep the whey.

I have never made yogurt, so I don't know. It works very well however for kefir.

It's just as wonderful making the yogurt in the glass insert as with the plastic insert. The choice of container does not affect the quality at all. I alternate between them, starting my next batch (in the OTHER container) when the first batch is getting low, so as not to ever be without my yummy yogurt.

There are limited instructions. It is pretty much a basic recipe for plain yogurt. There are so many different things you can add to it, pretty much whatever fruit, granola, or honey suits you. It is easier to make yogurt than using the stove-top method since you do not have to monitor the temperature. You just let the yogurt maker do it for you. In my opinion, it would be better if it had a timer, but for the price we think it is a good machine. We make yogurt for the whole family and like not having to wash out individual tubs. Making it in one large batch works well for us since different family members eat different amounts in a meal. There are limited instructions. It is pretty much a basic recipe for plain yogurt.

I have not tried using the Yolife tall dome with the Euro Cuisine Digital Automatic Yogurt Maker but I do not believe this would be successful. I base this answer upon the specs of the two products. The tall dome is 10 inches in diameter while the Euro Cuisine yogurt maker is 9.75 inches in diameter. This difference in size would prevent the yogurt maker from being able to maintain its consistent temperature. The larger dome will not fit snuggle into the yogurt maker but would balance somewhat precariously on its rim. I like the idea; it is very clever but I am afraid you would disappointed with the results. Could you find another plastic dome for this that is 9.75 inches or less in diameter? I think that any cover that keeps the warm air trapped inside would be worth a try. Good luck!

Buy an Instant Pot, the new model, it has a function for making yogurt. Because this one does not have anything to control the temperature, there is no guarantee the temperature will be maintained.

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 used the same exact products and here I am trying to figure out why this second batch in my new yogurt maker is grainy, bitter and even adding 2 tsp vanilla doesnt seem to help it. The whey was all seperate when I removed to the fridg so sorta though oh oh! Im even using a termometer and follow all the directions but now thinking even tho it didnt boil maybe it was to hot. A real science to this after all.
