Yoghurt maker - selection, reviews, questions about operation (1)

[Panevg1943]

Panevg1943 Why dry milk? What does it give? A specific brand of moulinex is possible, otherwise there are several types of them

I think it gives a thickening. The instructions for the yogurt maker recommend just such a composition. Moulinex brand DJC 141 (without timer). I haven't heard anything about Ariete, but the cotton of this brand bakes excellently for me.

[metel_007]

metel_007 I have a place - a kitchen of 22 meters, but a gas oven, I will not set such a low temperature. For a long time I made yogurt in an airfryer. But there is also the lowest temperature - 65 *. I had to heat it up and turn it off periodically. Sometimes I won’t guess and overheated. And as a result, not yogurt, but jelly. So I want a normal yogurt maker.
Is there no aftertaste from milk powder? I will not say anything about HP - I have Kenwood 350 for four years now and I am very satisfied. I will not say anything about others, I have not tried

[Boyaka's cat]

Boyaka's cat, according to my observations and experience of use, both Ariette and Moulinex overheat. At first I bought Moulinex, and to it a thermostat,

Yes, I have seen your posts about the thermostat more than once on various Temkas .. I even saw a photo somewhere but did not understand how it works ... How does the thermostat "cooperate" with the yogurt maker? It is not built-in, does it turn on / off the heaters of the yogurt maker? In short, my brains do not understand HOW it works together ... or whether this thermostat needs to be seen and held live, I don't know. .. I live in Rostov-on-Don ... probably, if I feel like it, I will find this thing here too .. But I really want to do without paper towels and thermostats ...

I love my Panasonic 255 bread maker, bought exactly three years ago using the advice of this forum .... I want a yoghurt maker, around which I just don't have to flutter and get nervous ...

[metel_007]

metel_007 I have a place - a kitchen of 22 meters, but a gas oven, I will not set such a low temperature.

I also have the lowest temperature in a gas oven on a thermostat of 150 or something ... or 100 ... what kind of yogurt is there ...

Yes, Boyaka's cat, I also thought that bed liners and napkins did not suit me and settled on TR. It works very simply: the plug of the yogurt maker is inserted into the thermoreg., And then he himself - into the outlet, he has another cord with a temperature sensor at the end, and so his - into the yogurt maker. That's all. He turns it on and off himself. First I warm up the milk to 37, then add the sourdough and that's it. Photo on page 40 in the same thread!

I just got the impression that in yogurt makers in different places the temperature is not uniform .. it means that where the thermal sensor "probes" there may be one, under the jar next to it, another ...

And once again, remind you - WHERE should you look for such a device and what is your name (can I ask this and ask around, so as not to buy some kind of nonsense thread instead)

Yes, empirically the hottest place is "calculated" and the sensor is there. It is better to underheat a couple of degrees than overheat

Rimma, I understand correctly, that the desired temperature is set on the thermostat by some means, and it maintains it later? Are there buttons on it for this or what? Just never seeing this thing up close, I have no idea yet ...)

[Ariete]

Per Ariete - how many have read - from Rimma71 - this is the first review that it overheats.
More information about the overheating of this model did not come across anywhere.

I have Ariete flawlessly
I measured the temperature more than once, in all phases, everything is ok!

Dex - also somehow did not come across reviews of overheating.

But about overheating Tefali and Mulinexa almost before 50 degrees - reviews left to right.

Everywhere it is possible to get on a defective yogurt maker, but the chance to get Ariete - goraaazdo less

My DEKH-108 overheated only in 40-degree heat. And so cold milk from the refrigerator with sourdough for about 4 hours reaches 40 degrees. Sometimes when I need to leave, I turn off the yogurt maker and it keeps a good temperature for another 2 hours.

Rimma, I understand correctly - that the desired temperature is set on the thermostat somehow, and it maintains it later? Are there buttons on it for this or what? Just never seeing this thing up close, I have no idea yet ...)

Yes, TP is electronic, the desired temperature range is set on it. Min and max.

It's a shame, of course, that I was so unlucky. I am writing all this in case someone gets into a similar situation. What if my experience will help someone!
Ariette is small, compact, only 6 jars (more often you will cook fresh yogurt), especially since the girls have such good reviews, and the price for it is very democratic. Nice thing.

current in the shops of toy Arietta netuti
Sodnya raced through three shops - Mulka with a timer 1990, a mulka without a timer 1590 ...... there is no arietta and does not exist ... Neither in M-Video, nor in MediaMarkt, nor in Search ...

Muscovites, kindly request: give a link (you can - in a personal) on a couple of some thread CHECKED online stores, the cat. besides, not a strong robbery on delivery ... I still want Arietta ... I will try to ask distant relatives there, in Moscow, to mediate, pay, and send me to Rostov ...

[Are there any owners of these yogurt makers on the forum?]

Are there any owners of these yogurt makers on the forum? I wonder how they ... overheat .. do not overheat ... Respond, who has ...
Yoghurt maker Daewoo Int. DI-9261 rnd.
and that's it Daewoo Int. DI-8224 rnd.

double-check with water to see if the yogurt maker is overheating.

A year ago, I asked my husband for a gift, a yogurt maker Moulinex (without a timer). I immediately made yogurt, in the end it was a complete disappointment - and not cottage cheese and not kefir. Sour something. Yesterday I read a lot of smart reviews here on the forum and decided to check the temperature in my yogurt maker. the total is 52 degrees. Put a paper towel in 5 layers-46 degrees. I put a terry cloth in two layers - it came out 43 degrees. Well, what else to put, I did not think of. And I decided to try with this mode. Evaporated a 1.5 liter bottle of homemade milk to 0.9 liters (took about 35 minutes). I cooled it down, added 125 Activations and 1 tbsp. l sugar, whipped. I poured it into jars, after 3 hours and 10 minutes I took it out, because at the bottom of the jars I saw how yogurt was fermented to the consistency of curd. Chilled and refrigerated. After 2 hours, I could not stand it, I tasted it. Yummy! Viscous, more viscous than Activia, tastes better than Activia. Next time I will put it not for 3 hours. and for 2 hours 40 minutes. One upset - sterilized jars and lids in a double boiler. And the caps were crumpled from steam to unrecognizability, they had to be thrown out. therefore, the jars were wrapped with cling film. It's a pity of course, but I'm glad that the yogurt turned out. Conclusion - Moulinex heats up and even a towel does not save. But I won't buy another one, I will try to "negotiate" with this one in French ... or Chinese.

Bun, we have Rimma71 the overheated yogurt maker was improved with a temperature switch. Perhaps this will help you

[Rina72]

Rina72 , Thanks for the link. I will look for such a miracle Yudo.

Thank you so much for such an interesting Temka, thanks to your feedback and advice, I became the owner of Ariete 85, the first batch of yogurt was gone in 2 hours))) now we need to look for additional jars so that it does not stand idle.The yoghurt turned out in 6 hours - excellent, homogeneous consistency, the jars did not feel overheated, I am very pleased.

Grandfather Frost from Odessa brought us Ariete under yolka. The yoghurt was subdued at once, thick, very tasty, made from milk Vesyoliy Molochnik 2.6% and sourdough TM "Slavyanochka". I didn't even have to wait 12 hours, as in the instructions. 4 hours - and you're done. I appreciated the compactness of the unit, although our kitchen is not small.

Today I got a variety of bacterial leavens from the Institute of Meat and Milk, fortunately - to the point of sale with a foot. Let's experiment.

The instructions for Arieta say that the fermented milk product in the yogurt maker should be kept in jars with closed lids, and this note is made by CAPS. As far as I know, other manufacturers advise to close the jars with lids just in front of the refrigerator. What are you doing?

VitusI think you are misinterpreting the first phrase. This does not apply to the manufacturing process, but to the aging of ready-made yoghurt in closed jars until they cool down, since it is undesirable to put them warm in the refrigerator, both for the refrigerator and for yogurt (condensation may appear). Yoghurt is prepared in open jars without lids under the hood of a yogurt maker.

I don’t know how anyone, but I only did it once with the lids closed.
This once was enough for me to smell by the smell that my yogurt was suffocating in this way.
Now I always keep the jars open in the yogurt maker.

Before I cook something, I first study the forum, all the pros and cons, all the "subtle" places, and only then I do something. And about the covers in any instruction, everything seems to be clearly written. Somewhere there was that suitable for baby food.
I have Mulka without a timer (I have all Mulkin's equipment in the kitchen). No complaints. Well, the truth is, the first time the pancake was lumpy ... But then I got used to it. I tried both paper and mohair towels. Either I was getting used to the unit, or it was to me, but now everything is ok !!! We have complete mutual understanding with him.
And the yogurt turned out great on the balcony in the summer in the heat .. in 2 hours .. If the next heat is the same, we will continue the experiment)))

I put only closed jars in the yogurt maker. It turns out great.
Starter cultures - or Vivo, or yogurt in capsules from a pharmacy.

Wrong interpretation is unusual for me :-)

Here's the exact quote: "C) Pour the mixture into the jars of the yoghurt maker, place them in the appliance and CLOSE THEIR LIDS."

Of course, I will try to make yogurt with open jars, however, I will report to you that even in closed jars, yogurt turns out to be just right.

Vitus, from goodness not looking for good. This means that your yogurt maker is fundamentally different from the Moulinex yogurt maker.

I do as in the instructions :) though I do not close it tightly, but I cover it. After cooking, I twist it in the refrigerator)

Good time of the day! I ordered a Dex DYM-108 yogurt maker, I don’t know if I did it right? If there are owners of such a yogi, tell me how does she feel with fever? someone measured, overheats? Thank you in advance!

I have just such a yogurt maker. Works great. I overheated only in the summer, when it was simply too warm, and in the heat, I fermented yogurt right in the bottles.
I never used jars - I liked exactly one large container.

In order not to transfer the products the first time, pour water into a large container and leave for several hours (simulating a fermentation cycle), then measure the temperature of the water to make sure that the equipment is working.

Rina72, thank you very much for your promptness, I will hope that everything will be OK

I also liked it precisely because of one capacity, though at first I drew attention to Vinis VY-1000W, but Dex DYM-108 is both more beautiful and cheaper and with cups (just in case), and I heard brand-name overheating, but we will still to hope for the best

Who has a Clatronic JM 3344 yogurt maker? How does it show itself in work?

I read the topic, but I did not make a choice - either Moulinex or Tefal. I realized only one thing that I will buy this device in Finland, there are still high quality goods. Girls, what to take - Mula or Tefu?

Girls, what to take - Mula or Tefu?

Pay attention to the vote. Maybe it will help?

Pay attention to the vote. Maybe it will help?

And I watched the vote, but before reading the topic ... And after reading the brain boiled - what all the same to take. Now I'm sitting, thinking, thinking.

Also faced with the problem of such a choice. After comparing the characteristics, design, jars, we decided to buy Moulinex YG230. The whole family is delighted. Therefore, I can recommend this option.

Yes, I will probably take Mulinex, people here write that there is not much difference, but why overpay then? Although it will be necessary to look at the difference in price from the Finns, if not very large, then I will tend to Tefala. Lord, the fermentation in the brain has begun again. But you still need to figure out the leaven ...

I think whichever model you choose, you will be satisfied. How simple is my yogurt maker, but it works like a Swiss watch.

Hello! Yesterday I became the owner of the Mulinex 230 yoghurt maker. I immediately prepared yoghurt on Activia, after 4 hours it turned out very well. Today I tried again (albeit with homemade milk) and after 4 hours the serum began to be actively released, especially in the central jar. Of course, I would be glad to blame the milk for this, but I tried to measure the temperature for the fact of overheating: the bottom is 48 degrees, and in the middle part of the yogurt maker's chamber is about 32 degrees. I was very upset. Where should I measure the temperature and what should it be? I didn’t think of measuring the product itself. Wait, the children are sick, I was so happy that they ate yogurt with pleasure, and now I am very worried that this is the marriage of a yogurt maker :(

I have a simple Orion, I make the identity from Activia, after 3.5 hours I start checking, as soon as the serum appears somewhere, I immediately turn it off and put it in the refrigerator, always a good result

Girls who have a Moulinex 230 yogurt maker? Help with advice. Now they offered to buy, and I want to know WHAT does the presence of a display and an electronic timer give? Does it really matter? Is the display showing temperature or time? And how does it work? Maybe it's easier with a mechanical timer?

I bought it! Take to your ranks!
Yummy! Made from 6% milk, 2 tablespoons of milk powder and a bag of bifidumbacterin. No thickeners, dyes, etc., already added 2 teaspoons of lingonberry syrup with berries to the finished yogurt. But from milk of 3.2 fat content, it turned out to be liquid, like kefir. I did not even heat the milk in the future, I sterilized the jars in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Maybe someone has a yogurt ice maker Ariette? I have a question: how can you replace a plastic container from it (I would like to use glass). The yogurt in it turns out to be homogeneous and tasty, does not overheat. Confused only by this plastic bucket, how to sterilize it before use?

[Morozko]

Morozko
I think you should not worry about plastic, because it is food grade, if there were any violations of certification, then it would not be supplied to you, to us. I also have a DEKH-108 yogurt maker with plastic cups and a bowl for cottage cheese, I have been using it for six months and everything is fine

Confused only by this plastic bucket, how to sterilize it before use?

Is this sterilization necessary?

And for five years now I've been suffering with my tefal ...
Strongly overheats, up to 45 degrees. I still don't understand how this system works there. I tried empirically from cold milk from the refrigerator to putting all kinds of materials. Now I'm waiting for such a thing.

I have Moulinex, I don't notice the yogurt overheating. But I did not specifically measure the temperature.

Elenka11, you still measure the pace. in jars near the heating element! Indeed, even short-term overheating is harmful to bacteria, although it will not spoil the taste and appearance. I probably just have no luck with yogurt makers ?! The mule overheated to 43, Arietta also had several cans hot during the first tests, although the girls write that Arietta does not overheat. So I replaced the yoghurt maker and left the thermostat!
