Cuisipro Donvier Electric Yogurt Maker - 837418

There was a little more work involved in making your own yogurt with this machine than I had realized but it was easy to do. The thermometer makes it very clear when to put the mixture into the cups. The reason why you are using this machine at all is so that it can incubate the yogurt at the correct temperature for a long period of time. Without it, this would be challenging. I did notice that the yogurt was thicker and tangier than the store-bought yogurt. I do not think you will end up saving a lot of money making your own yogurt but you can control what goes in it which health enthusiasts will love. I do wish the cups were glass, warming food in plastic containers does not seem very healthy to me. The caps are also on the containers way too tight, you have to have the Hulk's finger strength to get them off which I really had issues with. It was almost impossible for me to get them off and I almost hurt myself trying to do so. This is the main reason this product did not get 5/5 stars. Still, a very cool tool for people who really want to make their yogurt from scratch.

I was very excited to receive this item and make my own healthy yogurt again. I had a yogurt maker years ago and the yogurt jars were glass, not plastic as this yogurt maker comes with. The timing buttons stick+++ and my husband had to lay the unit over on its side and push hard on the tiny little buttons to make them move forward to set the time so that I could set the start time. Why aren't products made as well as they used to be???

Since I had never made homemade yogurt I did not know what to expect. BUT this was by far the easiest thing I've ever made. I HIGHLY recommend getting this machine if you are in the market for one. It only takes a few ingredients to make this. LOVE IT!
