Euro Cuisine Yogurt Maker - YMX650 Automatic Digital Yogurt Maker Machine with Set Temperature - Includes 7-6 oz. Reusable Glass Jars and 7 Rotary Date Setting Lids for Instant Storage

Here is the review I was looking for when I was searching for which yogurt maker to buy: first off, I'm not affiliated or incentivized in any way. I wanted a yogurt maker that didn't heat the yogurt with plastic lids on them. This fit the bill. You do not use the lids to actually make the yogurt. The lids can slide to display a number of choosing, which great because I set it 7 days from when I make the yogurt. The lids are not dishwasher safe. The jars themselves are glass. They are dishwasher safe. There is a little curve at the bottom which other reviewers have noted can be hard to clean but all you need to do is get a silicone bottle brush and they clean with ease. I've now made excellent yogurt three times so can honestly review this. It's easy. It works well. It's been worth the money. You don't have to overthink it - just take your milk of choice, and heat in a pot until 180 degrees. I take one of the yogurt jars and fill it 7x into the pot so I know exactly how much milk to pour in. You don't need a candy or fancy thermometer, any one will do. After it's 180 degrees, cool to 110 degrees. Then mix in about a tablespoon of yogurt. You don't need to buy fancy cultures to make yogurt, you can just throw in a bit of any existing yogurt. You mix. Then distrube to the containers and put in yogurt maker. I've found 6 hours is a good amount of time for a nice thick yogurt. If the display is lit up and showing an hour count - it's on and working. After, you cool in the fridge for a few hours. Ive not made sour Greek style yogurt yet, which would take a lot longer. I prefer the milder taste. This time I added some heavy cream to the milk when heating and it creates cream on top yogurt. I did 10 hours overnight and it's thick and lovely. I do recommend for those looking for a simple yogurt. Will not cure for 36 hours for some people who wanted a special strand of culture. Shuts off at 15 hours or so.

I bought this so that I could still have yogurt during these shelter in place times. I was a bit dubious if I could pull off a coconut milk yogurt since I have no idea what I'm doing. I tried to make yogurt in an Instant Pot that didn't have a yogurt setting (due to air frying in its place), and that was a sorry disaster. This EuroCUisine is defintely the way to go. IMPORTANT: You don't just take a spoon of magic yogurt powder and stir it with coconut milk and then pour that liquid combo into the EuroCuisine jars and turn on the Eurocuisine machine and walk away. It's WAY MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT, AND ALL THE HARD PART COMES BEFORE YOU GET TO USE THE EUROMACHINE. All this machine is, it's a heater that has a temp that's right for incubating yogurt and a timer that shows how many hours (not minutes) have elapsed. That's it. So, before you get to use the EuroCuisine, you have to make a concoction using a saucepan on a stove and a thermometer and yogurt starter and that sort of thing. None of the stuff you need to do the tricky part comes with the Euromachine. WHAT I DID: I bought a yogurt starter on Amazon that would work with vegan yogurt. I followed the directions on the vegan yogurt starter packet for the temperatures that the coconut milk in the saucepan had to be heated to (and not above or you kill the magic yogurt bacteria), etc. Sadly, even that's not enough info though. I researched online and found out that to make thick and creamy coconut milk yogurt (as opposed to watery yogurt soup), I needed to add a little maple syrup and a little agar powder at just the right time to the coconut milk in the saucepan so the yogurt starter has what it needs to work best. In other words, if you want to do coconut milk yogurt you need to research online because timing & temperature is everything re when to add the agar powder and when to add the maple syrup verses when you add the yogurt starter. ALSO IMPORTANT: It's all easy once you noodle it out, but you have to take the relevant info off the yogurt stater packet, the relevant info re maple syrup and agar powder off the web, and then the eurocuisine has its own operating instructions, none of it rocket science but it requires a bit of thinking and organization beforehand. Because I used cocounut milk, I use the EuroCuisine for around 13 - 14 hours and after being in the fridge overnight it WAS PERFECT thick and creamy and tasty. I was in shock it was so good. Re the coconut milk, I used enough unsweetened coconut milk, mixed with one small can of unsweetened coconut cream, that all together would fill all seven EuroCuisine jars. Each jar holds about 2/3 cup, fyi. I also bought a thermometer for hot liquids on Amazon. I used that to make sure that I met the temperature requirements on the yogurt starter packet. Can't be too hot and can't be too cold. THe reviews about the jars having lids that don't close perfectly are true. The Eurocuisine jars are good jars to make the yogurt in, they are good jars to store in fridge, but if you were planning on packing a lunch, then you'll need to use a different glass jar with tight lid for taking in lunches (I bought those lunch jars off of Amazon too, I think they were meant for taking baby food but hey at least the baby food lids are pretty colors). The reviews about the Eurocuisine lids not being the best to keep clean probably true too, but I'm not too nervous about it, I just let it dry extra long on the counter. If I start to see mold as some reviews worry about, well then I'd just transfer into the baby jars sooner. (You don't use the Eurocuisine lids on the jars when you're making the yogurt fyi, they're just for storage anyway). The reviews talking about the shape of the glass jars not being super user friendly for cleaning also true, but that's an easy fix - just soak in water for an hour and then the glass parts of the jars rinse clean pretty easily. SO that's it! Happy yogurt making!

Buen dia. Excelente maquina trabaja muy bien

Excellent product

Exactly what I was looking for! Easy to use, makes perfect yogurt. Love it!

Produto muito bom!

Do not buy this product!! On the first use all lids melted, buckled and warped! Unbelievable, do not believe all the reviews! They also wanted me to return it to the United States!! Thank you to Lydia at Amazon who has cleared it up and quickly and efficiently got me my refund and I do not need to return such a faulty yogurt maker all the way back to the States.
