Amazon.com Review: Yogurt is a great, guilt-free snack for both adults and kids. With this yogurt maker, it's easy to add favorite flavors--including exotic and sweet fruits, rich crunchy nuts, and natural sweeteners--to basic yogurt. Just follow the recipes, supplied by the manufacturer, and a nutritious snack, with very little fat and no preservatives (like most commercial brands), is not too far away. Making yogurt takes from 4 to 10 hours to process, depending on desired tartness of the batch. If you're looking for frozen yogurt, you do have to chill it for 2 hours in the freezer before consumption after it's made. The yogurt can be stored up to one week. --Teresa Simanton

This is a great product: simple to use with the directions from this site's forum and the yogurt is so good.

With a little experimentation makes great yogurt. Found that about 6 hours is about right. Use it at least once a week. Recommend using an organic yogurt as a starter, but I have also used the homemade yogurt. It tends to be a bit runnier made this way however. Would definitely buy again.

I'm happy with the salton 1-Qt yogurt maker. I use non-fat milk and mix in some non-fat dried milk and the yogurt is thick and nice. I recommend a small thermometer for checking the milk temperature before you add the starter.

I bought this yogurt maker after reading many reviews. Though it is easy to make yogurt at home without the use of a yogurt maker the product varies in consistency as the temperature is variable.
With this yogurt maker every time I get perfect yogurt. I use 4 cups of milk, heat on medium flame till just before boiling...cool to a temp when it is warm to touch. Blend in 3 T plain yogurt. Pour into the container and like magic the yogurt is ready.
Rating: - Where's the yogurt?
I purchased this product with the idea that I could insert a quart of luke warm milk in its cardboard container straight into the unit along with starter of course. Since I eat a lot of yogurt and prefer organic yogurt, this seemed like a wonderful idea.
However, the milk never became yogurt. The bottom curdled some, while the top retained a consistency of thick buttermilk. This was after 48 hours. Thinking it was something wrong with the milk, I tried a different brand. I also tried a different brand of starter. No luck. Frustrated because I could never get the top of the milk to set, ...
