After the machine mixed the powder &amp; water &amp; warm the milk, do you've to wait for the milk temperature to go down before feeding baby?

For my experience, its dependes on the amount of milk.... At 6 onz or more is the perfect temperture... If it is 4 onz i had to wait or turned it off before it finish by itself. I will feel the exterior of the metal cup with my finger until is hot and turn it of.

Interesting myth. never heard that before. However, you use the thermometer "before" you mix in the starter yogurt. You use the thermometer to be sure you heat the milk to the proper temperature stated in the booklet. then you use it again to be sure the temperature is low enough to add the yogurt starter. No need to check the temp again after the yogurt starter is added. This may sound confusing, but it is not. Good luck.

D. Legett was correct below. The alarm sounds at the indicated temp OR HIGHER. If you set it for your desired "cooled" temp, the boiled milk will already be higher than that temp and the alarm will sound instantly. If you're able to have someone help you the first time and monitor the temp as it cools, that should at least give you a time range that you know the same volume of milk will cool to the desired temp range. On subsequent attempts, if you know it takes (example) 12 minutes to cool to the desired temp, you could set your watch or clock to remind you to get up and check it 9 minutes after the boil- that way you would only have to get up for a few minutes vs. several. Just a suggestion. D. Legett was correct below. The alarm sounds at the indicated temp OR HIGHER.

Are you heating formula or breastmilk? Also, depends on if it is cold or not. For breastmilk out of the fridge I have my warmer set at 3:25, it comes out perfect every time. I think with formula you will have to warm it longer, but not sure. You would have to play around with it. To make sure it heats consistently every time, make sure you clean it every few weeks and your warmer will work great. Also, there is a list on the back of the warmer for a guide on how long milk/food take to heat.

Run the wand and whisk under water just before placing in your hot milk. It will make it easier to clean afterwards.

Hi Michael, Yes, you do have to heat the milk(not boil) before placing it into the unit for cooking. We suggest heating it with a double boiler method until it reached 185 degrees, and then letting it cool to about 100-110 degrees. This will kill all the excess bacteria that might interfere with the cooking process but keeps all the good ones that we need to create more yogurt!

Do you use cold milk or hot? I don't have this problem when I use cold milk.

Just mix it with some warm water (doesnt have to be hot) until a yogurt consistency is achieved. No need to let it set, you can use it immediately.

TO JUST HEAT UP MILK NO. MAYBE IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ATTACHMENTS ON.There are 3 settings, High Heat, Regular Heat and No Heat(JUST COLD FROTH). 2 Attachments, one for light froth and other Cappuccino.Has level marker inside to pour milk, very hard to see.BUT I'VE ALWAYS FIND MILK A BOTTOM NOT DONE.MOST OF ALL IT'S VERY HARD TO CLEAN.

If you don't warm up the milk enough, the fats will stay solid and thus not get transferred into the baby bottle. These fats are important for brain development, among other things, so I just make sure the bags are warmed up enough so the fats are in solution (even if they are still solid, as long as they can transfer out of the bag), then I transfer into a baby bottle, and heat up the baby bottle to the temperature little girl likes best

Yes. At first I thought the milk seemed luke warm. Then I found a solution. Simply heat your coffee cup! Fill your coffee cup with very hot water and let it sit while you prepare your drink. Then dump the water out of your cup before adding espresso and milk. Piping hot latte every time!

It does not mix so you would need to stir afterwards. We have twins so this machine was a life saver. We've saved so much time and can make formula whenever it is needed.

Mine did the same thing. It's a little better if you stop the machine at 48 seconds, but then you have clumps and the formula is still way to hot for baby.

Yes, heat the milk to 180F, then let cool to 110F. The cultures are more active in a warm environment.

The numbers indicate the temp of the heating unit,,,the higher number (3) heats the fastest and the lower numbers in a more leisurely time.Suggest you use the lower, as you may have to cool it down more often at '3', not something to do if you are breast feeding/pumping and having to open another container, waste some of the over-heated milk to make room for the cooler milk. Or you could run the bottle under cold water for a period of time...so it is all about time...spend it now or spend it later.

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.

It depends really how hot you want your drink. I personally like the temperature of the milk, but my wife has to heat it up more in the microwave to really enjoy it. I would guess for most people the milk is not going to be hot enough.
