What temperature is the warm setting? If it goes past 110 degrees I can't use it to make yoghurt.

Sorry, no idea. But Alton Brown uses a heating pad under the bowl to make yogurt.

It states in the instructions that once the milk temperature reaches 110 -100 degrees to mix your yogurt starter and then pour into the yogurt maker. Yes you will need to watch you temperature until it cools to 110 -100 mark after getting to the 185 degree mark.

I haven't had this problem as far as I know. I had it on a wooden table and also set on the floor and I didn't notice anything unusual. I do use a probe thermometer (the kind you use for roasts) and lay or tape the probe to the top of one of the jars because the unit is pre set and doesn't have a thermometer in it so the actual temperature is affected by how warm or cold the room is. The temperature at the top is usually within a degree of the actual temperature of the forming yogurt in the jar. if you lay the probe on the wire rack on the bottom the temperature always reads lower than the temperature in the jars.

You can probably find the booklet at the Waring web site. However, the basic recipe is fairly simple: 1 quart milk (or soy drink, almond milk, or any combination; I generally use 1/2 low-fat soy and 1/2 skim milk); 5 oz dry milk; 5 oz yogurt. Directions: Bring milk to 175 - 180 degree F over medium heat, stirring regularly. Keep at that temperature for 2 minutes (This pasteurizes the milk to kill all unwanted bacteria.) Let milk cool to about 120 F, then add dry milk, stirring until dissolved. Let cool to less than 100 F, then add yogurt, stirring/whisking to dissolve. Pour into uncovered containers in the machine. Put big plastic cover on machine. Turn machine on for 6 - 8 hrs. Check after 6 hrs to see if yogurt is set. If not, give it more time, but not more than 8 hrs. When done, remove yogurt cups, put on their lids, and place in refrigerator. (I like to use a cup of dry milk, as this gives thicker yogurt.)

Not sure exactly what you mean by food grade, but its funny you should ask....just this last weekend i experimented with homemade yogurt. When I was younger, we had a crock similar to this, but with a (not airtight) lid. So I thought i would try it. My method is regular milk with active yogurt culture about a 1/4 c. I covered it loosely with press n seal and I put it in the oven (not on!) and let it sit overnight. I didn't have high expectations because the inside is glazed, but it worked! I don't know it this helps! I also should mention that we live in silicon valley and the temperature was in the upper 70s maybe low 80s

I have not tested the temperature, but mine makes perfect yogurt every time.

Bet you're making yogurt! That's what I want it for, anyway. I had a thermometer almost identical to this one, and while the alarm would go off for the upper temp, it wouldn't go off when it reached the lower temp. Did you ever purchase this, Iris, and does it work for what you (I) want?

No, you cannot. This culture will be killed at the temperatures needed to make yogurt. Yogurt is taken up to ~114 F... This culture cannot be used above 102F.

This appliance does not heat the milk initially. You must do that separately first. It is meant to hold the yogurt cultures at the ideal warm temperature for proper fermentation and then cool them.

you need to heat the milk on stove first. i tried my second batch with plain Fage greek yogurt.I warm the milk as recommended. Turn out very well. i set the temp.to 7 hours. It is very simple to use.Great machine. I would recommended this machine.It is easy to use.

Yes, after you heat the milk to 180, it needs to cool down to 110, then you add your starter ( or already made yogurt) and now you are ready to poor it.

My machine put out no heat at all. All the yogurt in it sat at room temperature for about 13-14 hours.

The only information we are given is the label on the appliance: low, high, yogurt. They don't give specific temperatures. I imagine the first two correspond to a simple slow cooker. Uncertain of the third.

I haven't checked the temperature. I have made several batches of yogurt with only one that failed unexpectedly. I forgot to start it one time, and of course that batch didn't set up. My kitchen is kind of of drafty, so I put a dish towel over it (not sure if it makes a difference)

Place a scoop of plain yogurt in a bowl.Pour in milkWrap the bowl with a blanket and set if on top of a gas stove do NOT turn the stove on.That is all you need.No need for heating, no need for a thermometer or any of that other stuff
