I just poured the milk in. I warm it up a little first, but not too warm or it will get gritty.

You dont need an exspensive Mashiene,use 1/2 gal milk add 1quart of Buttermilk put in Glass bowl....no Tupperware or metal and cover with clear plastic wrap leave it for 3 days at room temerature.Put in strainer with cheesecloth and let drain, if you leave it longer the dryer the Quark will get. So easy, enjoy, Heidi

I make Quark in this yogurt maker all the time. I just pour in a quart of buttermilk (don't even wait for room temperature), turn it on for 16 hours and strain it through cheesecloth. For creamy Quark, add a shot of heavy cream and stir. Really good with chopped herbs stirred in, or my favorite, plain with jam on top on bread.

Hi K.A., I am an American who once lived in Ansbach...wish I spoke the language well enough to translate. Would you be so kind to translate this recipe for me. I am cooking my quark (buttermilk) overnight in my oven on the lowest temperature. My family loves it soo much it seems like I am cooking it every night. I don't like keeping my oven on every night.Thank you so much for your help.Kathleenharrison74@verizon.net

HI, Did anyone send you a recipe? I'm not sure the one that K.A. Schpmeyer sent actually uses the YM9. I saw the one on the German Corner as well.

I used the YM9 to make quark and it worked great! I took a quart jar and filled it with buttermilk. It works best if it is room temperature, but don't warm it up too much, then it gets gritty. I left it in the yogurt machine for about 8 to 9 hours (think it can stay in there longer too), and used a knee high stocking to strain it. Let it strain for a while if you want it thick, or just a few minutes if you like it for mixing with fruit or spreading on bread. I have a friend staying with me from Germany and she said that it is just like the quark she gets at home!

The following thread contains what you are looking for, but you need to be able to understand German:http://www.germanicans.com/the-german-connection-online-3/germanicans-kochbuch-30/quark-selber-machen-von-andilina-aus-tucson-104/If you don't speak German, let me know and I'll translate it for you.

Hi, I don't speak German, but, would love to use the YM9 to make quark. If you would be so kind as to email the translation to me, I'd REALLY appreciate it! please email it to: mj4him@comcast.net. Thanks,Jan

This is Jonathan Bechtel, I make Incredible Greens, which has been mentioned a few times here in the answers. I'm flattered to have the word of mouth here, and I'll add that a). if you want to know more about it, make sure to gander over to our website (you can google incredible greens to find it) and there we also let customers name their own price if they want to try it for the first time but are feeling a little gun shy. b). email me at jonathan@healthkismet.com if you have any other questions. Thanks!Jonathan

Tanya, I get a little package of plain yogurt to start mine. It works great. I make the greek yogurt. You will have to strain it to make Greek yogurt. Mine tastes better than the Fage brand. I use2 tablespoons of Fage to start mine, so I can eat the rest. But you can start it with regular yogurt. I am thinking about doing a Youtube about how to do it. I have some great tips that will make it easy to do

I just received my yogurt maker yesterday and would like to make flavored yogurt. Can you tell me when to add the fruit and if I have to cook it first or can I add it raw. Thank you.

No, but they have a facebook page and I posted the question there. There's no info on the website and also, please see my comment that you have to double the amount of yogurt starter used in order for the yogurt to firm up. If used as directed it is a watery mess. If you use a whole box for 10 cups of yogurt it comes out great.

You can use homemade yogurt as starter for another batch. I save the whey to use for breadmaking, and have found that I can use about 1/4 cup whey as starter for a new yogurt batch, so I don't have to worry about saving some yogurt to use as a starter. The whey alone works great!

I think she has an input box that isn't working, but you can still view the instructions online. Either go to poseymom.com or copy and paste this link into your browser http://poseymom.com/# Scroll down and click the box corresponding to the probiotic item you want to use. I hope this helps. Good luck!

No but you can buy the Euro Cuisine Yogurt and Greek Yogurt maker model YM360 or YM460 with a 2 qt glass jar and you can make up to 2qt of yogurt

The machine beeps when it's time to add anything to the dough. You just open the lid, add the ingredients, close it and I think you hit the start button again. It tells you in the book. I added nuts to zucchini bread once. I'm pretty sure it always beeps but if you're making something that you don't have to add anything to, just ignore it and it will continue doing what it needs to do to make the best bread ever. The video that came with the machine is very helpful and so is the book. It may seem intimidating but it's actually quite easy to use. We made pizza dough in it last week. I'm taking homemade honey wheat rolls to a pot luck next week. I'm sure everyone will love them. Happy baking! The machine beeps when it's time to add anything to the dough.

Much easier, I'd say. You can make up to 2 qts. in a single, large container rather than have to fuss with individual small jars. In fact, that's the main reason why I chose this particular model. I've used the type that comes with the little jars, and sometimes you want to use more yogurt than comes in a little jar--say for a family recipe, or just because you like yogurt.

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

My recollection is that a set of extra jars was also available when I bought my yogurt maker. So you might recheck the site or do an independent search for them. Also, you could combine finished yogurt into a larger container if you wanted to re-use the cups that come with the unit. The jars go through the dishwasher really well and can be ready again quickly. I hope that is helpful.

Tom, thank you for your reply. I went to Grazia's website and asked the same question. Hopefully they will email the recipes to me. We'll see. Thanks again.

i agree that the jar is not very accurate by the measurement. but i never had 2.5 cups of leftover! that's a bit too much... i usually put in 6oz yogurt (1 of those store bought, or one jar from last batch), then add 18 oz of milk. that'd do. once you do a few batches, you'll have a pretty good idea of how much you need to put in there. Or you can always use the cups that come with it to measure. that'd never go wrong. on a different note, if you ever have extra leftover mixture, just drink it. :) I like it that way anyways. sometimes if i made the yogurt too sour, i just add some milk, and do a yogurt drink. you can use that for smoothy as well. don't waste it~ :)

I am a novice at it so I bought the Dash Yogurt maker & I have to say I LOVE IT!!! (about $35 on sale @ Kohl's, they sell it here as well) I know you can do it on your own, but I feel secure knowing it knows exactly the right temperature & time to get the perfect results for me. The first time out I made a wonderful mistake by staining it (comes with it's own strainer) for way too long, about 12 hours I think & it turned into the most delicious cream cheese. I now am looking for a strainer only so I can have my Greek Yogurt & a cream cheese version on hand at all times. Now to find out more recipes!

Andrea, we bought one a few months ago. You don't need the yogurt, too much added sugar and calories, we just use frozen fruit, all different kinds and I add parts of a banana, not frozen for a more creamier texture. It's delicious, and if you want add mini chocolate chips on top mix with a little whipped cream, omg way better than ice cream and for people who have an intolerance to milk products, it wins hands down. ENJOY

Though I never have, I did find recipes on YouTube using this dehydrator to make yogurt. Looked yummy, especially when one lady used dehydrated fruits that she dehydrated on her Excalibur.
