Does the Set Temp feature only work for heating up or also cooling down? I am making yogurt and wanting to set it to beep at 105 starting at 175

Alarm only sounds when rising to a temperature. Alarm does not sound when falling to a temperature.

Apparently not. The alarm seems to activate only when the temperature is above the set point.

I found the Set Temp feature to work as I understand your use. I have set the temperature for say 125 when say a roast is at room temperature and had it go off at 125. It is important that you both set the temperature and turn it on before the temperature gets to 125. If the temperature is 126 when you turn it on, the beep won't happen until the temp "arrives" at 125 whether that be an increase or decrease.

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.

On mine it flashes if you are below that temperature. It beeps too, but if you press a button it stops making noise and continues to blink. It should stop flashing if you drop the low temperature below the current cooking temp and the high temp above. If you never use the low alarm just set the low temp as low as it can go.

Just get a Cuisinart pot/kettle and set it to whatever temp you want and it beeps and (if you want) holds at that temp. Five degree increments and 175 is one setting. No mess with stovetop or anything else. It's a breeze and you'll never go back to stovetop boiling of water. Hit the switch in the morning and you are all set in a minute or two.

This appliance does not heat the milk initially. You must do that separately first. It is meant to hold the yogurt cultures at the ideal warm temperature for proper fermentation and then cool them.

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.

Michael, wife has made about ten batches of yogurt with hers and we have not had that problem at all. Must be a defective thermostat and I would ship it back to the manufacturer.

I haven't had this problem as far as I know. I had it on a wooden table and also set on the floor and I didn't notice anything unusual. I do use a probe thermometer (the kind you use for roasts) and lay or tape the probe to the top of one of the jars because the unit is pre set and doesn't have a thermometer in it so the actual temperature is affected by how warm or cold the room is. The temperature at the top is usually within a degree of the actual temperature of the forming yogurt in the jar. if you lay the probe on the wire rack on the bottom the temperature always reads lower than the temperature in the jars.

It makes no beeping sounds. When you press the controls (like on-off, or to turn temp up or down) the button responds with a soft click. It is not annoying--just lets you know that you have pressed.hard enough to be sensed. I turn it on in the morning to make coffee and hear nothing--I have to notice temp and/or when light goes out to know it's ready.

No, you can't. It stays, pretty much, at 110 degrees. Perfect for making yogurt. That's all I use it for.

Yes. I tested this with water after it overcooked two batches of yogurt. It went up to 130 degrees at its highest. I plan to call the manufacturer after the weekend and will update if they provide any helpful information.

You can set the temperature at any point. I wouldn't buy this product it quit working for me 2 days after the warranty ran out.

So far I have only used it for broiling which it does quite well.It beeps when the set temp is reached. The settable timer beeps and the oven turns off.I would recommend it.

Check your thermostat setting. The unit beeps just before it turns off when the preset temperature is reached. Turn the thermostat all they way up. If the unit turns off the problem is most likely a defective thermostat. I would contact the manufacture.

I should add to my previous notes: When you "start" then the amount of time you set will start counting down on the timer. When the time is up it will beep. When the TEMPERATURE you set is reached, it will beep IF you set temp alert for "on." You can re-set the temp at any time DURING operation, on the fly, if you change your mind on what temp you want.

I haven't checked the temperature. I have made several batches of yogurt with only one that failed unexpectedly. I forgot to start it one time, and of course that batch didn't set up. My kitchen is kind of of drafty, so I put a dish towel over it (not sure if it makes a difference)

Just push and hold the + and - buttons at the same time for about 3 seconds or until you hear a beep. Then you can adjust the temp.
