Rating: - Great Yogurt Maker, but watch out for the exploding top!
While this make perfectly wonderful yogurt, you have to watch out for the exploding top of the insert. I'm assuming the pressure from the mild heat this generates to make the yogurt causes the inner container to explode (or pop it's top to be accurate).
One time I heard it go off in the middle of the night, thought someone had shot a gun outside.
So I usually put two heavy books (try Peterson's cookbooks, nice and heavy) on top while it's cooking the yogurt.

We love our yogurt maker. I was too impatient to stick with using organic milk; it added a couple hours to my whole process, to heat it then cool it way down.

Rating: - Happy with my purchase
I was interested in making my own yogurt because I eat a lot of it and I enjoy "kitchen gadgets". I originally purchased the EuroCuisine 7 jar maker from Williams and Sonoma because I had a gift certificate. I quickly grew tired of fussing around with those little jars, especially since you are not supposed to put the tops in the dishwasher and I was having trouble getting even the jars themselves clean in the diswasher with the way they are shaped. I saw this one and purchased it based on the reviews, and the fact that you make a one big container. I have made yogurt at least 5 times using the ... Read More
