rec. your large capacity yogurt maker

pfal6

I am looking to purchase a large capacity yogurt machine and I am confused as to which one is the best. If you make large batches and you like your machine can you please tell me which one you like. Thanks!

I'm anxious to hear the answer to this.  We usually use the cooler method, but recently tried using our dehydrator instead.  That was a big 'ol FAIL, the milk didn't solidify.

Ugh  I tried to use the cooler method at least 10 times. I just can't get the consistency and sometimes it just turns into yogurt flavored milk. I even tried to use my oven light and that failed miserably. So now I am sucking it up and buying one.

Lurker butting in-

I just started making my own and used the crockpot method below.  I have done it twice so far and it has worked great.  I had looked into a yogurt maker but didn't really need or want yet another kitchen appliance in my fairly small kitchen.

You can probably make it in your oven. I do.

If your oven has a regular incadescent bulb in it, turn on the light and put an oven thermometer in there. If it gets up to 100* then you can use that as your incubator. The steady heat source is more reliable than either a heating pad which cyles on and off or a cooler.  I make mine in a 2quart glass bowl. I've done it about 6 times and it has never failed.

I have one of these and love it.  It can make small or large batches.  Such delicious yogurt!
