Morning!

 

Anyone got a yoghurt maker that you could recommend? Am thinking of getting one and want to know (i) whether they're worth it an (ii) which ones to avoid!

Severin makes a reasonable electric yogurt maker - seven small pots. Lakeland makes a 'bulk' yogurt maker (one large pot). It's good, too. 'EasyYo' uses no electricity and comes with mix (starter) which I never used. It's simpler to use real bio-yogurt as your starter. You can google search all of these to buy online.

Forgot to say,

 

Yes, I think they're worth it if you eat a lot of yogurt! I use organic long-life milk (you don't have to heat it up first), some organic bio yogurt as a starter (one small pot is plenty) and a couple of tablespoons of powdered milk stirred into milk and starter...this helps to thicken it without adding to the calorie content. It's a fairly straightforward process which is ready in about 6-8 hours. Just make sure your starter yogurt is fresh for the best results...

I use the Lakeland bulk one - always found it easy to use and with good results.

 

I've now found organic milk powder to add to the organic milk and starter.

Hurray!

Where can you get the organic powdered milk?

Easy Yo but don't bother with the packs, its even nicer to make yourself in there.

Thanks for the replies - as ever, the Omlet forum has the answer

 

I'll go off and do some investigating...

 

Cheers

It's Evernat (French unfortunately ) - I found it in the local wholefood shop. I think Goodness Direct stock it as well.

I have an easyo. I used two tablespoons of the mix you get for it and two cups of milk powder.
