MissScripture Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 [quote name='MissScripture' timestamp='1340394081' post='2447555'] So, I'm going to make my second batch using the oven method today. I was going to last night, but I broke the thermometer. Hint: Glass WILL break when struck against stainless steel. Anyway, the first time, it turned out great. I'm currently eating a smoothie made with frozen fruit and homemade yogurt. So tasty. I'm SOOO glad that I got this to work, since I need to keep up with my yogurt eating, since I just was put on an antibiotic that will wipe everything out, and this is soooo much cheaper than buying yogurt! [/quote] So after working wonderfully twice, I have had 4 failed attempts. I think I may just buy a yogurt maker and not have to worry about it. Plus, then I don't hsve to worry about the oven needing to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just feel bad about shelling out the money for soemthing that basically just heats up to a certain temp, but it would make life a lot easier and it would pay for itself in less than 6 months (compared to if we bought yogurt.)

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I felt a little silly about it, but once I invested in a culture (vs. tubs of store bought yogurt) I wanted to make sure I didn't screw it up. Now I'm really glad I bought it. And with the way my family (Matt especially) eats yogurt the investment has been well worth the money. I know it's saved us quite a bit and will save us even more in the long run. It's definitely better than the brownie bite maker I foolishly purchased and only used once (then decided I hated it because they came out cakey instead of fudgy).

MissScripture Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, we have a really small kitchen, so I'm trying to avoid buying more single use kitchen appliances, but I might just go for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, I have a galley-type kitchen, long and narrow with limited space. I'm a bit of a freak for kitchen gadgets, though, so I really have to pace myself and wait for a few months before deciding that I really will use it alllll the time. It's the spontaneous purchases that always turn out to be the things I shouldn't have bought. We don't drink coffee so the yogurt maker sits in the place that a coffee pot probably would be. It stands next to my stand mixer and blender, the other gadgets are in the broom closet--which I outfitted with a shelf so I have extra space. Broom and mop are in my laundry "room"--a glorified closet just big enough to fit the machines. I figure if I want it that badly I'll make it fit. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many batches did you get from it? Mine worked in the new yogurt maker! I just used a container from the store. I wanted to be sure it would work before spending money on a culture. John Paul got his fiirst yogurt on Monday for supper. He seemed to enjoy it, but wow! What a mess! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 I couldn't tell you how many batches I got... pretty much once a week+ since February or March. It was working great. I made a batch of yogurt yesterday and put it in the fridge. Xander got in the fridge, pulled it out and dropped it. Spilling a full two quarts of yogurt---from which I would have started my next batch---all over the kitchen floor. He told me it was too heavy. I'll have to show you a picture later.
