I thought there was a thread here but.........

Anyway, I've reviewed Amazon and was interested in your thoughts.

THANKS!!

I have a Salton and it works well for me. I've found that using commercial Greek yogurt as a culture results in gritty and/or stringy yogurt, but using something like Stonyfield regular yogurt is better. I also found that the yogurt maker ran a little warmer than some recipes' target temp, so I would reduce the culturing time.

It seems like the Salton brand isn't available, but if you close your good eye and squint, it looks a lot like the Eurocuisine version. I've never tried the individual portion yogurt makers.

I bought mine some time ago and had sticker shock looking at the prices! I would definitely look at thrift shops; I see them there frequently. There was one for $3 a couple weeks ago.

A little cold for garage sales yet but my SIL is the Queen of that. I'll check the thrift shops. Thanks!

We like the Salton, but it seems to be discontinued. We paid $17 when it was available.

The only issue with it is that we end up going 16 hours to get a good flavor & texture. After it cools we strain it to Greek consistency in this strainer.

I literally *just* sent mine to goodwill. I had the individual cups and didn't like it. I got mine at Home Hardware for around $20. there's a Canadian brand available in health food stores that has a litre size container....will see if I can dig that email info up.

I've used a yogotherm quite a bit and it works well. No power, no trouble. The prices tend to be ridiculous, though, for some reason, espcially since it can be quite hard to obtain in Canada, where AFAIK it is made.

Having completed a quick read of the method it seems like this could be another use for my sous vide equipment... What could possibly go wrong

Should note that I also stopped using the maker when Costco started carrying the plain Liberte for under $6 for 2 one litre containers. At that price it just didn't make sense for me to make my own.

I can make about a half liter of greek yogurt (maybe less - more like 12+ ounces) or a full liter of regular yogurt for about a dollar. Thats about half the price (or less) of Chobani in little containers.

Looks like the Euro Cuisine makes two quarts, though. My Salton only makes a quart.
