Electric Yoghurt Maker

This has been in constant use since I bought it last month. I use UHT whole milk and yoghurt as a starter, and the results are brilliant - lovely creamy tasting yoghurt. I haven't used skimmed milk powder to thicken as we use the yoghurt on muesli instead of milk.

I am very pleased with this yoghurt maker. I turn on yoghurt maker whilst I slightly heat UHT semi skimmed milk in microwave for 2 minutes then stir in 3 tablespoons of milk powder and 1 tablespoon of natural yoghurt. Stir then pour into bowl. Put bowl into preheated yoghurt maker and 8 hours later Hey Presto fantastic thick, creamy yoghurt.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband who loves natural yoghurt. Guess what I have ended up eating most of it! it works perfectly every time and produces thick creamy yoghurt. I use UHT whole milk and any live culture yoghurt as a starter and leave for 12 hours. Thought i could get away without a spare bowl but will be buying one ASAP as I don't like to run out!

I adore this machine as it makes the creamiest yoghurt from UHT goats milk . I also like the fact that the container sits comfortably in my salad box in my tiny fridge keeping nicely until I need it.

If you are vegan or lactose intolerant the Electric Yoghurt Maker also makes brilliant soya yoghurt. I began with a supermarket'Basics' unsweetened soya milk and 2 to 3 tablespoons of health store soya yoghurt to start with and the results have been spectacular. After 8 to 12 hours you have a litre of thick Greek Style yoghurt with a mild and creamy flavour. I keep back several tablespoons of yoghurt as a starter for my next batch. Other well known brands of soya yoghurt may also work but I have not tried them yet.

I can't recommend this highly enough. My yoghurt maker has been in use every other day since I bought it in January and it produces lovely yoghurt from UHT semi-skimmed milk every time. I did buy the 'spare' container which is handy to store in the fridge until the next batch is ready.

I bought this yoghurt maker 2 weeks ago and it's good & easy to use. My tips: Add 2 tbs of powdered milk as the yoghurt is thicker - and I use whole UHT; Warm UHT milk prior to using even though manual says room temperature: warm milk is better. Heat 1 pint of UHT to 45 degrees using an 800 watt microwave for 2 mins. Add the final half pint at room temperature; Don't over-mix the starter and milk - you get runny yoghurt; Buy a spare bowl: it's useful to have two. The user manual is a bit basic & annoyingly the pot is marked but not in multiples which match the recipe. Recommended

I couldn't seem to get a good result from my yoghurt maker. I used semi skimmed UHT milk and skimmed milk powder and still the result was watery. I've now sussed it! The instruction leaflet says use UHT at room temperature but this is just not warm enough. I warm up the milk to luke warm and pre-heat the unit and BINGO! I have beautiful thick yoghurt. If you're having difficulties persevere it's worth it. I've now bought a yoghurt maker for my daughter. Lakeland - it is very irritating that the inner container doesn't fit in the fridge please address this one niggle. Thanks

I've tried different milks & yoghurts, with & without powdered milk, & different amounts. For thick & mild yoghurt try: Pour 1L of skimmed milk into saucepan (skimmed milk). Add 3 tbsp of powdered milk to saucepan. Stir until dissolved (powdered skimmed milk 0.01% fat). Boil milk for about 2 mins & let it cool down. Add 4 tsp of yoghurt into bowl. Gently pour in milk & stir (organic natural pro-biotic yoghurt, 2% fat). Put inner lid on bowl. Place in the insulated base. Cover with outer lid. Turn on. Leave 8 hours.
