What does 'multi' mean in its name? 10/14/2012: Thank all four for your answers. Clare's answer brings me the following question: I have been looking for a yogurt AND kefir maker, but could not find even a kefir-only maker. Would love to buy if this...

It not only makes different types of yogurt, but also can also assist to make kefir and whey . It also allows for allows for small or large batches to process.

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 believe it is the type of starter you use and not the machine that determines what "milk" products you can use. I know the yogourmet brand says you can use other milks like soy and almond... hope this helps.

Thank you! I have found that one cannot repeat using started yogurt--by putting one I made into the new batch. Interesting that the culture "gives out" after a few repeats.

I've successfully made yogurt with coconut milk in this yogurt maker. It took several tries because coconut milk doesn't thicken like cow's milk, so it was turning out watery. My husband found a recipe online that uses gelatin(4 tsp per batch) to thicken, and it turns out really well. It tastes so good that I have a hard time keeping up with the demand in my household :) Good luck!

Hi Amy, It may have been a typo you read? It should say one as in quanity..1 roast that is a 5 lbs. That is how we read it and exactly what we received which by the way was AWESOME!!!!! :)It will easily feed you all too! Hope this helps and hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Should also be able to inquire through the Co. where it originates from also. Good luck to you.

Hello Diane, I haven't made any multigrain recipes yet. I did order a paperback book called "Smart Bread Machine Recipes: Healthy, Whole Grain & Delicious [Paperback]Sandra Woodruff (Author) I think this can be a great start to experiment trying other grains with whole wheat flour. Hopefully this helps. I never knew it could be so much fun and healthier with homemade bread.

Have you found any alternative? I just started looking into purchasing a bread maker and I'm stuck in the same quandry. I avoid non-stick at all costs, but I can't seem to find a machine without it. Please let me know if you found anything. Thanks! Lyndi

I think if I wanted to make "regular" yogurt I would just use plain yogurt as my starter instead of using Greek yogurt as a starter. I don't know about draining it or not since I have only made Greek yogurt. but my assumption would be that you would still have to drain it some. But that is just my opinion since I have never made "regular" yogurt. But I don't know if the cooking time would be different....probably not.

For the first batch, I use sore bought vegan yogurt. After that I use my yogurt. I only use soy mil.

I know your question was from several months ago, but here is a great recipe for raw milk yogurt, which you can use with this yogurt maker. You do have to heat the milk slightly, but not enough to kill all the "good stuff." http://nourishedkitchen.com/raw-milk-yogurt/

Even if it comes out to cost the same how much would you price getting rid of all the garbage you no longer will be taking in from commercial bread, especially if you have kids? Please read this link. It is why I'm here looking for a bread machine ;)http://realfoodforager.com/why-i-never-eat-commercial-bread/

Not sure but if you go to WWW.youtube.com and look under milk kefir you will find your answer.

Wow just got off the phone with Euro Cuisine. They were so helpful! Yes you can do dairy free yogurt! You will need to find a recipe and follow that. If you are using dairy free milk like soy, almond or coconut you are going to have to add sugar. If you need more info just call them they are so helpful.

Well I use this in conjunction with the greek yogurt strainer which is a very fine mesh strainer (you can buy this separately). So once the yogurt is made in the yogurt maker, I pour yogurt into the greek strainer to finish the process. Individual jars would make this process difficult because you would have to empty each of the jars either into the greek yogurt strainer or a bag that comes with this yogurt maker. I bought the strainer option because I didn't want to mess with a bag and hanging it for drainage etc. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, ask. :)
