I was looking for something that would be perfect to make yogurt in and then cool down to a certain temp and retain that heat would this work ?

Buy an Instant Pot, the new model, it has a function for making yogurt. Because this one does not have anything to control the temperature, there is no guarantee the temperature will be maintained.

I have never used it for yogurt, but I know it will keep ice cream cold for 6 hours, so it does retain heat or cold a long time. I also make cheese and a fantastic website is http://www.cheesemaking.com and she has several insulated yogurt makers, that I know work great. Hope that helps.

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.

No, the temperature is not adjustable with this model, only the length of cook time. I have tried this model with the Finnish yogurt, Filia, but it doesn't work...too warm.

I put mine in yesterday at 75 degrees F (based on my probiotic yogurt starter instructions); 9 hours later, it registered 109 degrees F, and the yogurt was done. Hope this helps.

I own a similar yogurt maker by Salton that has been discontinued. It also ran hot. Since there's just a simple heating element in it, like a light bulb, I bought a plug-in dimmer switch like this -> Lutron TT-300H-WH Electronics Plug-In Lamp Dimmer, WhitePlug the yogurt maker into the dimmer and set the dimmer to about 75% of "full." By trial and error, this will cut the current to the yogurt maker and you can get your yogurt to 100-110 degrees F.

I use mine almost exclusively to make low-fat frozen yogurt. It works very well. The key is to make sure all your ingredients are cold before you put them in the machine (including ingredients, like fruit, that you add near the end). The yogurt is pretty solid after about 30 minutes. I've been very pleased with this machine.

On their website in the blog section there is a recipe tip on using the pot to heat the milk. It says to put the desired amount of milk in and turn the pot on to high for 50 minutes. Test temperature and it should be around 120. Then proceed to add yogurt starter and turn unit to yogurt setting. I have used this method and yogurt has turned out fine every time. Sure beats heating the milk on the stove before adding to yogurt maker.

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.

Yes, definitely. I have made soy yogurt in one. Just put the container in without the shelves and set temperature to 105-110 degrees.

Yes. I have tried that method with that proofer. I am sold on both the proofer and that method. The proofer shortens the time needed to make creamy yogurt. That method makes a less tangy but flavorful yogurt, which I really like.

I called Cuisinart two months ago to ask the very same question. Two of the customer representatives could not answer my question, but promised a technician would get back to me within two days. I'm still waiting for that call. In the meantime, I can say that we really have enjoyed making yogurt with this machine, and that it must be fermenting at the right temperature as the yogurt consistently comes out creamy and delicious. We've tried making it several ways, but have had the best success with boiling the milk first (to 180 degrees), then having it sit until it cools to about 110 degrees. We then add 1/4 cup of organic yogurt before pouring it into the plastic container which is placed into the machine to ferment for 8 hours (You can choose the number of hours based on your taste). What this machine offers that you cannot currently get from the other yogurt makers, is the convenience of having the fermentation process shut off automatically at a chosen time (8 hours in our case) and then having it switch to a cooling/chill setting. I've looked at several other methods of making yogurt, and found this to be the most convenient for us. Knowing that I can make yogurt at any time of the day/evening, and not worry about having to get up in the middle of the night to move it from a warming pad or warming machine to the refrigerator so not to over-ferment the yogurt, was the major reason I chose this machine. I can go to work and know that no matter how late I return, I will have fresh, delicious yogurt waiting for me in the machine, as the cooling setting stays on until you unplug the machine from the wall. I highly recommend this yogurt maker.

How hot does it get making tofu. I was hoping for something to make yogurt in.

Hi Anne,Thanks for your reply - I checked the yogurt maker and it seems to be over heating - that would explain things!

yes if you have it on the yogurt setting. it may be a few degrees higher than 110 though

There's a "yogurt" setting, "low" and "high". It doesn't give the temperatures.

Hello, Our yogurt make maintains a temperature of about 110-120 degrees. Kefir will do better in a temperture range of 70-80 degrees.
