Lakeland 7-Cup Electric Yogurt Maker 5 "Perfect Solution for me" Rhonda Twigge 11 December 2019 I purchased this as part of my personal war on plastic. Along with the multi yoghurt maker, both have been a success from the beginning. The glass containers are portable, hold a good portion size, washable, and just as important the product is so easy to use, instructions are easy and complete and the yoghurt is delicious. I have tried all types of milk with success. Using UHT milk is the least hassle as it cuts out the boiling of milk. Will definitely continue using this product. As already commented by others, keeps perfectly in fridge for 7 days.
Lakeland 7-Cup Electric Yogurt Maker 5 "Part of my war on plastic!" Mrs Smith 25 October 2019 I bought this last week and tried for the first time yesterday. Tried the first of 7 pots this morning - lovely yogurt - really pleased. I guess if it came with a thermometer it would be more expensive and some may already have one. I have 2 questions: (1) What makes the pots not dishwasher proof? They look like they should be - obviously wouldn't put the lids in the dishwasher. (2) this might be a stupid question, but would it make any difference whether you boiled your milk in a pan or in the microwave? A note from the team We're glad you're pleased with the yogurt. The glass is fine/delicate so we wouldn’t recommend putting them in the dishwasher in case they break. They should be hand washed only, but like any glass, be careful not to let them clash together in the washing up bowl. No, it doesn't matter if the microwave or pan is used to boil the milk, as long as the starter is added when the milk has cooled.
Lakeland 7-Cup Electric Yogurt Maker 5 "Just the job" Mr Stuart 03 October 2019 On my first one the switches were wonky but Lakeland promptly replaced it. It makes really lovely creamy yoghurt. I use a fresh 150g pot of Yeo yoghurt each time to make 7 pots of yoghurt: the instruction manual says 100g but it’s not a precise science. The manual says don’t keep it in the fridge for more than 4 days but I keep ours for 7 days and it’s perfectly fine. Trial and error, that’s the key.
