Is it possible to use this to make yogurt?

I always make yogurt in the slow cooker -- you don't need to keep it on. I just add the culture to warm milk, and then unplug the slow cooker and wrap it in a beach towel to keep the milk/future yogurt warm. I leave it overnight on the counter and in the morning I move it to the fridge. It works like a charm and you don't need anything fancy or even plugged in.

nolabean, I'm confused. Why would you want to, or even How can you, make yogurt in a slow cooker? I thought yogurt was made by curdling milk and leaving it to set in a Fridge?

Rather than give you a "non-answer" like everybody else, I will give you the answer: No you cannot. The keep warm setting is too high (165°F).

If you do a google search for yogurt in slow cooker, you will find some directions. I have not tried making yogurt but evidently you can.

If you can find a recipe for it online, I don't see why not. I use regular milk but I have friends who use it to make vegan yogurt.

Not really, there is a product I got thru amazon called cuisipro donvier yogurt maker that works good for that

You can use store-bought yogurt. We bought the starter and it didn't work. It may have been because of the hot weather and it died in shipping. I don't know. Ever since we have used store-bought and it works just fine. Use plain yogurt with live/active culture. Good luck!

We use it in a Ygourmet instead of the plastic container and it works well but I don't know for the Dash greek yogurt maker...

I only use it for almond milk. I strain it using half and then half again, so its easier. That is an option if you think it will not hold 1/2 gallon of yogurt.

I do not believe you can. I know, and have made, ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt. Sorry I could not answer your question specifically.

Hi Nancy, I have not made yogurt in my dehydrator but I googled it and it seems that you can make it! You would remove some of the trays to fit the jars. You may want to contact the company that makes the dehydrator and see what advice they can give you. It is a great machine though - I have made bread and kale chips! Paula

We have never done it, but I have found a link to making Greek yogurt which is thicker using another similar dehydratorhttp://www.ehow.com/how_8342492_make-yogurt-home-excalibur-dehydrator.html

yes you can do yogurt. all you have to do is run tap water over the outside and they come out very easy. the sticks stay in place

I don't think so. I bought it to use in making yogurt, bot it is so slow I use different ones I have. I guess one must pay more to get one that they are happy with.

Yes I would say your machine is defective. I believe your temp needs to be 110. I had an old machine and it registered only 100 and it didn't work to make yogurt.

I am told that this is possible. I think it would be the best. The directions told me to leave the lids off of these little jars, and I ended up with teenie, tiny jars half full of two spoons of yogurt. Your method sounds better. I would personally try it with a glass jar with a lid. I hope others chime into your question, because I do not use it for the problem I stated above. I would try it again, maybe, if this would work. I am very disappointed in this product.

Yes. However, you are limited on height and area. To make best use of this yogurt maker, I'd recommend using the supplied jars.

I am not sure how you would use it to make foam.... But I know it was not fine enough to strain yogurt. I too spooned a bit of yogurt in first and it still let too much yogurt through. Still need cheese cloth or coffee filters.

Hi, Claris. Yes, you can. I use these 7-cup round Pyrex container bowls with rubber lids ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MW2BIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). One of these fits perfectly without the lid (which you don't use inside the machine) inside this yogurt maker. I like Greek-style yogurt, so after I process it for 10 hours, I turn it into this EuroCuisine Greek yogurt strainer ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and put it into the 'fridge for about 25 hours. I use the same (washed & dried) Pyrex glass container to store the strained thick yogurt in (with it's red rubber lid) in my 'fridge. Since I use a lot of yogurt and also make cheeses (large extended family), I make two batches of the yogurt per day 5-6 days per week. I generally make my batches around 10:30am and 10:30pm. And if my aged cheeses and smoked cheeses all end up as well as the first ones have (just started yogurt- and cheese-making 2 months ago, so I'm awaiting some of the aged cheeses to age & ripen), I'm going to buy at least one other of these EuroCusine yogurt makers. I already bought a second strainer and more Pyrex bowls. I feed my husband and me, my three adult step-children, four grandchildren, and hubby's two ex-wives, two ex-sisters-in-law & a brother-in-law, and my own 2 sisters-in-law and 3 brothers-in-law, plus various neighbors, all of the yogurt and cheese we can eat from working this one machine hard. My extended family all live in rural farm country, where I can easily trade my own baked goods and my cooking and - now - my own yogurt and cheese, for fresh cow's, sheep, and goat's milks. So I need to use the one large batch method, not little jars. Pyrex works great. HTH

I doubt it. I'd give the Euro Cuisine GY50 Greek Yogurt Maker a try or purchase some fine stainless mesh (300 or so) and make my own strainer by lining a colander with it. Amazon has the mesh in different sizes.
