Can the starter be used to make sauerkraut?

Yes. It works for any vegetable. I have used it to make sauerkraut many times. Follow instructions carefully to activate culture.

No. The kit can adapt to your recipes as long as you use one that has the same amount of gallons, pints, or quarts to fit in the containers and allow head room or fermentation.

Nope. This is perfect for a starter. Its strong enough to be fun, yet light enough to not be overwhelming. I love it.

I was never able to get this starter to make yogurt. It sits in my freezer.

No, but the starter is easy enough, you can get the powdered one, or use a Tbl or two of plain yogurt which is probably the easiest. Save a little from each batch to start a new one. I LOVE my Yogotherm! Best thing ever.

No, you don't. It has to be at room temperature. My advise to you is to make sure the yogurt you will use as the starter be at roomtempature as well.

The basic recipe I use for sauerkraut is 1 Tb . of non iodized salt to one large cabbage ( about 3.5-4 lbs before core removed ) . Shred cabbage -salt in ceramic or plastic bowl . Massage until soft and lots of liquid - has reduced significantly - jam into 1 quart canning jar . My kraut cap did not have any instructions or recipes either .

Not sure that you can since roasting is a dry heat method where the heat in the oven surrounds the food. With the exception of the saut function, cooking in this is about moisture with little evaporation. If you turned the unit on saut and tried to roast something, it would be like tring to roast something on a pot on the stovetop -- that method isn't roasting.

I would say "NO", The liquid has to convert to steam in order to cook. Also becareful of the seasoning and liquid that you use, I used a sugar base seasoning and beer and burnt the bottom of my cooker. I let the liquid evaporate too much. I was doing a lime flavored sweetcorn.

I have never used a sourdough starter for pancakes, though I have seen recipes for such. My guess would be to try it, what can you lose?

Yes you can, just remember, the yeast culture is started and kept alive in the jar. You remove whatever desired amount of starter and place into your bread machine according to the recipe that you are using.

I have not tried to but I do not see why not. By small I would think 1 quart instead of the 1.5 to 2qt batches that I have made so far.

R. Neu, I'm not sure as it has been a while since I made the purchase. But, this is a quality starter at a very reasonable price. It's half the price of other starters on Amazon, and is well made. No problems so far. I would buy another tomorrow if I had to. No complaints!

Yes, as I recall there was the first starter, but you can use plain yogurt from the store just as well.

Yes !!! Have only used it as a canner... but after looking at some of the recipes provided am rethinking this... may try cooking a roast... or try one of the other recipes.... sounds REALLY good !!!! Have fun with it !!!

Yes you can. Pour milk in whatever size container you want to use and then add starter after hearing it up on stove. I would make as much as I could as I eat it with fruit and cook with it too.

Once the item you are fermenting is finished, it will need to be refrigerated or it will continue to ferment. You cannot store it in a cupboard or pantry, only the refrigerator. In the past if have froze sauerkraut in small containers and just thawed it in the fridge when I needed it. :-)
