Fabulous Yogurt, 2008-08-08
I love this yogurt maker. I use non-fat milk along with non-fat dry milk. I add 2 tablespoons of agave with 2 teaspoons of fructose after I have heated the milk. When cooled I add vanilla (paste or powder) before adding the starter. I read some great information on some of the food blogs that suggested using a wide-mouth glass canning jar with a plastic lid in place of the plastic container that comes with the Salton Yogurt Maker. The lids can be purchased in the canning section of Walmart. That way I don't have to wait until I have used a batch of yogurt before making the next batch. It really is the creamiest, best tasting yogurt with wonderful consistency.

Not worth it, 2008-07-12
It is just like a slow cooker and it is so small. I had been using a slow cooker to make yogurt by myself and then I thought that I could get a yogurt maker to save my trouble. But after I got it, ----I found it is just another smaller slow cooker!!
You have to go through all the same steps: warm your milk in a clean container; --- put it into the slow cooker or the so-called yogurt maker; put the yogurt seed that you bought ; --- make sure the temperature not too high to kill the yogurt bacteria; ---watch the time to make sure you are not "overgrow " it; --- take it out.
There was at least twice that I thought I needed not to watch the time--because, it is a yogurt maker and it should stop by itself, but it did not. And then my yogurt turned into something hard to describe--sticky and very sour.
Now this "Yogurt maker" is not used anymore at my home.

Very basic, very good., 2008-07-11
Simple to use, had it over 2 years and it works well. Just throw together the yogurt culture, milk, and sugar, wait 24 hours, and voila the best tasting yogurt you've had is ready.

I think this price is a typo, 2008-07-11
The price listed here has to be a typo. I'm sure they meant to list it at $18.99. I have had mine for a few years now and I too have started using the quart mason jars instead of the container that it comes with. (Plastic should not be heated neither should hot liquids be poured into plastic for health reasons as I was taught in my MGT class). I still use mine but I am now experimenting with my electric oven using the same 1-quart mason jars simply because I would like to be able to make more than one quart at a time. ( I think I remember paying around $18 for mine).

Good Soy Yogurt, 2008-07-07
I cannot tolerate lactose, so I use this product to make my own soy yogurt. It works great.
