Miracle Non-Electric Yogurt Maker

I followed the instructions using Trader Joes Greek yogurt for a starter and run of the mill 2% milk at nearly room temperature. Poured boiling water in the base and gently lowered the tub into it. Be careful, I did burn my fingers because I didn't expect the water to come up that high. I ended up dumping a bit of water out to get it just right. After ten hours I removed the tub, opened it up and stirred it before closing it and into the fridge. Another twelve hours and I had yogurt that tasted very good. It was a bit runny but that just meant I could drink it, no need for a spoon. I added a bit of vanilla and about an eighth teaspoon of stevia and it was awesome.Had a couple issues with shipping, in the end it took way too long but the shipper made it more than right. Way to go "A '21stCenturyKitchen'"!

Making yoghurt is a pretty basic process, but the yoghurt needs to stay sufficiently warm for a few hours. All non electric yoghurt makers are essentially the same as this one. When making yoghurt look up a yoghurt recipe and use those instructions rather than the ones that come with this yoghurt maker and you shouldn't have any problems. I make mine in the evening and leave it out overnight. Up to 12 hours will make a nice yoghurt that isn't too tart. Also note: the yoghurt will be somewhat thin. This will always be the case unless you strain it to make greek yoghurt!

The Miracle Non-Electric Yogurt Maker (ME62) can make vegan yogurt based on soy milk with no trouble at all.First I make double-thick soy milk with a Joyoung soy milk maker by soaking a cup rather than a half-cup of soybeans overnight. Then I refrigerate the soy milk for 8 hours or more before using. For my first batch, I used half a packet of Real Yogurt culture made with a non-dairy vegan medium by Cultures for Health (culturesforhealth.com, 4 packets for $9), following the Miracle Yogurt Maker's directions for regular dairy yogurt. Thereafter, I save 3/4 of a cup of the finished yogurt to use as a starter for the next batch. The yogurt comes out firm, with the liquid separated, tart, but a little bland. It's easy to whisk the liquid back into the yogurt, or you can pour it off if you like firm yogurt. I've also made yogurt with regular home-made soy milk, but I found it a little thin for my liking. For a beverage, it would be fine. How commercial soy milk would work out, I have no idea. At any rate, for essentially the cost of a cup of soybeans, I can make a quart of vegan yogurt (well, technically 26 oz, since I use 6 oz for next batch's starter). I suppose eventually I may have to refresh the starter, but getting 8 fresh starts for $9 isn't exorbitant, and so far the saved culture has worked fine.

Tried first time, succeeded👍Very easy to use

Works very well. Easy to use and saves in electric.

so far i've tried several different ways to use this product but i was disappointed with the results each time. when i have more time for more experimentation i will try again.

It doesn't retain sufficient heat to make the yogurt . I found that adding extra starter yogurt and switching out the water plus wrapping it in a blanket will make yogurt after 16 hours.

Well made and easy to use. I've made several batches of soy yogurt. I like that there's a single large internal container instead of a bunch of small, individual containers.
