IcePrincessKRS Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 As cheap as a gallon (or less) of milk. You can use store bought plain yogurt for a starter, but I prefer buying the freeze dried cultures. I've only had to buy it once since you can "serial culture" it, using some yogurt from the last batch to make the next one. (Not all cultures work that way, but Greek does.)

MissScripture Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' timestamp='1338945416' post='2441558'] What temperature does your oven warm at? [/quote] 170 is the lowest it goes.Well, for the temp selection. Idk what the temp is if I just turn on "warm." It doesn't tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Probably around 150... I've seen some videos and tutorials that utilize the ovens warm setting, I'll see if I can find one tomorrow (posting from the kindle right now and too lazy to go out to my.comp and look some up).

IcePrincessKRS Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Ovens are all over the place when it comes to the lowest temp. I think my old one was 150, but my current one only goes as low as 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i<3franciscans Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' timestamp='1338924368' post='2441309'] You use a Greek yogurt culture (yes, there are different types). To make it really authentic you strain the whey out of it so it's really thick and creamy. I strain mine. It cuts 2 quarts of milk to about half that amount of yogurt once it's strained, but we like it better so it's worth it. My husband usually takes at least one cup of it to work to have with lunch every day. Generally we top it with blueberries (I buy them frozen and just put them in a bowl in the fridge to defrost... it's more economical than fresh). Sometimes I will make another fruit sauce to stir in, but the blueberries are my husband's favorite so I tend to stick with that since he eats most of it. [/quote]Thanks!!!

IcePrincessKRS Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yogurt making is actually pretty easy. I think I'm too lazy for cheeze, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
