I don't like heating anything in plastic and am needing to make 24 hour yogurt. Can I use a large glass mason jar inside the yogurt maker for 24 hou

Sure you can - Just so long as it fits inside and can be completely covered by the outer lid. That should work just fine.

I guess you could. Don't know if you should let it go for 24 hours. I've never used mine for more than 9 hours and have found that 8 1/2 hours is best.

I have not tried this, but it should work just fine. Maybe preheat the mason jar with some warm water before pouring in the mixture.

I have only ever used a glass jar to make the yogurt. The yogurt always comes out tasting great. I prefer the glass as it does not leach chemicals as plastic does.

Yes. If you want Greek yogurt, however, all of the yogurt will not fit so you must empty the jars into the strainer for as long as you want to, wash/dry the jars, put it back into the jar after straining, then strain the contents of the large bin, or the other way around.

Its hard to tell. One website I visited said the jar can make 80 quarts of yogurt using 1/8 of a tsp for ea quart. Depending on how thick you want the yogurt to be, you may want to use more than the 1/8 tsp.

I don't know. What I do know is that when I am using the tier I usually have to rotate the jars halfway through and it extends the amount of time needed to process the yogurt, so I suspect that while it might be possible, you would probably need to rotate all of the jars at least once and it would extend the processing time significantly when compared to the single layer cook time.

Yes, you can make yogurt in the dehydrator. Here is a link: http://ezinearticles.com/?Making-Yogurt-in-a-Food-Dehydrator&id;=3907749

There are limited instructions. It is pretty much a basic recipe for plain yogurt. There are so many different things you can add to it, pretty much whatever fruit, granola, or honey suits you. It is easier to make yogurt than using the stove-top method since you do not have to monitor the temperature. You just let the yogurt maker do it for you. In my opinion, it would be better if it had a timer, but for the price we think it is a good machine. We make yogurt for the whole family and like not having to wash out individual tubs. Making it in one large batch works well for us since different family members eat different amounts in a meal. There are limited instructions. It is pretty much a basic recipe for plain yogurt.

Yes. I recommend just buying the lid with out the jar. It's about half the price. And you can buy a mason jar from the store for like $2

You are right. I make my yogurt in a yogotherm (12 hours) then transfer to the Euro Cuisine for 18 hours. If I am not going to be home from work at the time it should be out, I just dump some of the liquid and it will be fine until I get home, It is in the refrigerator during this time anyway. I then put it in 1/2 pint jars, leaving room to add some Organic Maple syrup (adding a little unsweetened coconut is also good.) It is well worth the time it takes, and the result is such good nutritious yogurt.

the oven you already own with the light left on overnight is a perfect yogurt maker. no need to buy anything. but then again, an old T shirt makes a perfect yogurt strainer as well. tie the bottom in a knot, dump in the yogurt, and hang it up over the sink or over a bowl if you want to keep the whey.

I guess also, it depends on what type of yogurt you prefer. If you like regular and not greek, the individual jars would work easily enough.

If you're making large quantities can't see why not as the container has an excellent seal. When we made starter we generally used 1 quart canning jars with caps on in the fridge as we made a small batch. Don't know anything about any reaction to the plastic as stated in a previous reply but I would follow up on that or the venting comment. One thing for sure, hope you have a large fridge as it takes up a large space.

I don't see why not. It just keeps it at the right temperature. But if you are making Greek yogurt you will only get about 2.5 cups of yogurt after you filter off the whey from 5 cups of milk.

I think with almost all yogurt makers you have to heat the milk first. (Especially at this price range, I'm almost certain). Also, if the inner tub is plastic, you can probably use your own 2 qt glass container. That's what I do with my yogurt maker!

I got the information about how to make yogurt from the post by Anjana Nigam under the thread "Making Yogurt at Home without the Salton Device" I note that she says the scalding temperature should be 185 degrees - not 170 as I said. In another post someone said it only takes a few tablespoons of starter yogurt so my 6 to 8 oz. may have been unneccesary.Good luck with your experiments.

Yes. I have the YM100 model and it fits well. The only advice to have better yogurt production is to leave the middle of the top tier open (don't place a jar there) so that you get better air flow. Making a nearly double batch I set the timer to 7 hours. Not too tart. Also, consider draping with clean muslin kitchen/ bar towel to trap heat in. Hope this helps.

I have used Mason jars with no problem and made no adjustments. I did put water in the yogurt maker to fill the gap to help with heat transfer from the yogurt maker to the glass jar.
