Fiori is right yogurt is made with bacterial cultures, but some commercial yogurts have pectin in them as a thickener because the yogurt isn't given enough time to thicken naturally.

Yogurt is made with culture. But it is sometimes thickened with pectin. It is much creamier with pectin.

Hi Nancy, I have not made yogurt in my dehydrator but I googled it and it seems that you can make it! You would remove some of the trays to fit the jars. You may want to contact the company that makes the dehydrator and see what advice they can give you. It is a great machine though - I have made bread and kale chips! Paula

We haven't tried it yet, but you in general you can make yogurt using starter from store-bought yogurt that has live bacteria. So it should work with this machine.

I have only used it for yogurt, but I think it would be great for oatmeal too.

I have made yogurt in the InstantPot following their directions and it works fine. I have been very pleased with the results. Soy, almond and coconut yogurt take extra steps because of the nature of the products.

I did, but I used dairy yogurt as the starter. (About 1 tbsp per pint jar) I used a carton of west soy organic unsweetened plain. The only ingredients are soybeans and water. I did not scald it, just poured into jars, stirred in yogurt and set for 9 hours. It was super thick and tasted great! I would like it a little tart-er next time, so I will go to 10 or 11 hours.

Yes , although I've never done it I know the longer u incubate the yogurt it becomes thicker and more tart. Some people prefer that.so it never hurts to try it . hope this helps.

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.

I tried to make almond milk yogurt with this starter in an Instant Pot with the yogurt making function with no success. I have also unsuccessfully tried cashew and coconut milk. I am actually an testing it right now to make sure it is actually alive. If I find it to be a dud, I will follow up here. I did end up purchasing GI Pro Start (also vegan) that I have found a bit more successful.

I have not but after reading directions for making indian style yogurt I believe you just make plain yogurt and then add the ingredients to make it indian style. If you need a greek type yogurt for it all you do is drain the yogurt in a cheesecloth lined sieve until it is the thickness you want. My book says for mayonnaise thickness drain 10 to 15 minutes, for sour cream thickness 30 minutes, 2 C. yogurt will yield 1 C. drained and for cream cheese thickness, 6-8 hours and 3C. will yield 1 C.. Thickness also depends on the milk you use. Whole milk will yield thicker yogurt than fat free or lowfat milk. I purchased a book called, "Cooking with Yogurt" by Olwen Woodier, more of a pamphlet really, but has great information for making and recipes for using yogurt. I use it in place of buttermilk in biscuits, pancakes, etc. Works great in stroganoff in place of sourcream. Greek yogurt is just plain yogurt that has been drained. You can also use the whey that drains off in biscuits, soups etc.

You would need to strain the yogurt with either cheesecloth or a Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker which I use. My review for this product has my recipe in it and you can strain that yogurt for fage or greek yogurt.

It doesn't work when you use soymilk. The yogurt needs the enzymes from cow's milk. I guess that you could try using coconut or goat's milk.

yes it does! I use my yogurt maker twice a week and it's fantastic! Nothing beats homemade yogurt!!

I have not used mine for yogurt. I have made jerky and dried fruit and it works great. As far as tray or 9 tray, my 5 tray is great for my husband and I. Sorry I can not be of more help to you.

I know your question was from several months ago, but here is a great recipe for raw milk yogurt, which you can use with this yogurt maker. You do have to heat the milk slightly, but not enough to kill all the "good stuff." http://nourishedkitchen.com/raw-milk-yogurt/
