Can I use a glass bowl inside the Yogurutia instead of the plastic one?

If the glass bowl has the same dimensions and has a lid, I don't see why not. The glass bowl would just have different thermal characteristics, I think.

Sorry I can't help you, I do not have the glass bowl. It's wishful thinking though.

I don't think it would work very well. It wouldn't fit in the space for the bowl, it is an oval shape.

Yes, you absolutely can use a single glass bowl. This is what i use and it's available on Amazon: Pyrex Storage 7-Cup Round Dish with Dark Blue Plastic Cover, Clear. It fits this machine perfectly. I make one liter / quart batches of yogurt in this bowl (uncovered) and then strain it using #4 cone coffee filters in coffee filter holders. With two #4 filter cones you can strain all of that batch at one time. Spoon the still-warm yogurt into the cone filters and let the the whey strain into whatever appropriate container you have (in the fridge) for about an hour or so. The yield is about 400 ml of thick Greek yogurt and 600 ml of clear whey. While protein powder is often made from whey, whole fresh whey is actually lactose dense and protein poor. All of the nutrients I am interested in are in the yogurt. What you do with the whey is up to you. I pour mine down the drain.

Hi, Claris. Yes, you can. I use these 7-cup round Pyrex container bowls with rubber lids ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MW2BIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). One of these fits perfectly without the lid (which you don't use inside the machine) inside this yogurt maker. I like Greek-style yogurt, so after I process it for 10 hours, I turn it into this EuroCuisine Greek yogurt strainer ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and put it into the 'fridge for about 25 hours. I use the same (washed & dried) Pyrex glass container to store the strained thick yogurt in (with it's red rubber lid) in my 'fridge. Since I use a lot of yogurt and also make cheeses (large extended family), I make two batches of the yogurt per day 5-6 days per week. I generally make my batches around 10:30am and 10:30pm. And if my aged cheeses and smoked cheeses all end up as well as the first ones have (just started yogurt- and cheese-making 2 months ago, so I'm awaiting some of the aged cheeses to age & ripen), I'm going to buy at least one other of these EuroCusine yogurt makers. I already bought a second strainer and more Pyrex bowls. I feed my husband and me, my three adult step-children, four grandchildren, and hubby's two ex-wives, two ex-sisters-in-law & a brother-in-law, and my own 2 sisters-in-law and 3 brothers-in-law, plus various neighbors, all of the yogurt and cheese we can eat from working this one machine hard. My extended family all live in rural farm country, where I can easily trade my own baked goods and my cooking and - now - my own yogurt and cheese, for fresh cow's, sheep, and goat's milks. So I need to use the one large batch method, not little jars. Pyrex works great. HTH

We do not use a glass bowl (ours is metal), so unfortunately, do not have an answer to your question. You may need to contact Customer Service at KitchenAid to get an answer to your question.

The inside is rough to help grab while you grind. It isn't super rough, but I think you would end up losing some of the product you were crushing stuck in the texture of the bowl.

The plastic feeder can be removed. Or you can put your bowl inside the plastic tray.

To your first question. Nope. You could remove both bowls and just feed in the plastic formed cups if you want, but it's easier to just clean the metal bowls. To your second question, nope. Super easy to remove the top portion. It just snuggly sits on the bottom half.

I would recommend a wooden bowl. The blade is very sharp and could crack/break glass and using a plastic bowl might get plastic shavings in the food. You could probably also use a metal mixing bowl if you don't mind getting scratches in your mixing bowl.

I don't see why not, but I've never had a problem with the plastic container. Plus, you'd have to find a glass one that fit just right inside the heating chamber.

I was just using my dish tonight (love it, by the way). I guess you could put a glass bowl in. I just tried putting in my second largest Pyrex stacking bowl and it fit with room to spare. The half inch of extra space might impact the heating ability, though. The largest Pyrex bowl was too big.

You can but I don't. Like the other commenter, I like the bowl so much and don't want to scratch it.

Because it was a plastic bowl we just used fancy plastic cups, nothing special. Clear ones work best. Hope this helps!

The bowl is separate I guess that you could use a different one if you wanted to

I just use a bowl that fits, so that the food processor sits on it comfortably without wobbling. I didn't have to go and buy a special bowl, I used a regular mixing one.

there are some plastic parts that would not do well in DW, but the glass itself is OK to put in DW.Personally, I rinse them right after use and let it drip dry. No need for dish soap or DW.
