Girmi JC70 Yogurt Maker

So Easy and By Far better than the rest.
Now I am not that granola and am not good in the kitchen but this yogurt maker is awesome. I got it so I can make yogurt for my baby but now I eat yogurt everyday. This machine is so simple. All you have to do is add starter and milk and plug it in. Much better than the rest THERE IS NO BOILING REQUIRED IT DOES ALL THE WORK. and the glass versus plastic jars in the other brands make it 1,000,0000000,0000000 times better. You can't buy a better product.

Perfect homemade yogurt...yummmmm!
There are many methods for making yogurt and keeping it at the proper temperature for long periods of time (wrapping in towels, setting in oven with pilot light, throwing into a thermos wrapped in a blanket, etc.) to properly set it up, but I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of tempting the yogurt fates. This is a nice unit where the temperature is constant and no guessing games to fool the yogurt bacteria. It includes 7 glass jars, which I prefer over plastic.

Making your own yogurt with the maker is easy, healthy, and it tastes better then store bought yogurt. There is no boiling required if you use pasteurized milk, and you can use plain yogurt with live and active cultures as the starter. Once you have some yogurt going, you can use your own plain yogurt as the starter. Once you mix up a quart of milk and 5 tablespoons of yogurt starter, you simply fill your 6 jars, set it in the maker, cover with dome shaped plastic lid, plug it in, and come back 6-10 hours later. Cap the jars with their small plastic lids, place in fridge for several hours to set and you're done. After you have made some plain yogurt, you can get some cheese cloth and make yogurt cheese. Use this to replace cream cheese on a bagel or even make a...
