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

[Rina]

Rina, for me the presence of glass jars is essential. There is also funding, why should you look for unnecessary problems? At Kidstaff, I even saw a cool device for maintaining the temperature - it into the outlet, into it the cord of the yogurt maker and the temperature sensor inside the yogurt maker. When the set temperature threshold is exceeded, the power is cut off. But for Tefal, this is not an option: the lid fits quite tightly and after the temperature rises during the cooling period, it even "sticks". Yes, and this miracle is worth 200 with something UAH. - with a simple yogurt maker.
I’m arguing, if the timer is not needed, then can I take the Klatronic? Their ice cream maker and waffle iron did not disappoint me, and the yogurt maker is also not a nano-technology, a simple device.

[alen]

alen, gold words...

for me, by the way, it is also important that the jars should be made of glass, not plastic. And screwed up, not "ripped off".
The name of the company for the yogurt maker does not really matter, the main purpose of this device is to maintain the required constant temperature well.

Well, for me, it turned out to be a matter of principle to have a Sudochka. I hate all sorts of jars, I have never used my "relatives". I tried on baby food and mayonnaise jars (you can put it on), since I fermented it in a 1.5-liter glass with a twister lid (though I had to cover it with a towel instead of a lid). In general, it is important that there are no "nests" for jars of a particular caliber.

Thanks, girls
For me, the opinion of the local inhabitants always comes first.
Today I saw Klatronic, tomorrow I will look at Muliki and I will be determined.

In general, it is important that there are no "nests" for jars of a particular caliber.

in-in Tefal with this problem. Although all my native jars are intact

[Rina]

Rina, and what kind of soup? Was it included in the kit? Or did you yourself then adapt some kind of capacity?
That's really true - "the taste and color ..." On the contrary, I really like it in jars: aesthetically pleasing, convenient. Moreover, my mule's jars are very convenient in size (just a serving), and the lid is excellent. I didn’t like Tefalevsky banks - they are small and the lid is not convenient.
I also conducted an experiment in mine - I did it in a 1.5-liter (and even in a 3-liter!) Jar, covered with a towel. It turned out great! But I don't like the large yogurt container. It is much more pleasant and convenient for me to use portioned jars. Just kids for one "feeding". For some other purposes - dressing in a salad, in baked goods is also the optimal dose. I like. And it is convenient to store in the refrigerator.

in 108 dex (and similar vinyl) there are six plastic jars (beeeeeeee) and a plastic container in the set. I have a habit of exactly the opposite - I prefer to pour yogurt / fermented baked milk into a cup (especially since for me these 100-200 grams are too small, if I pour, then immediately half a liter).

But I got lazy and in the end switched to fermenting yoghurt right in a milk bottle - no need to boil, I opened the lid, filled in the powder or threw a couple of spoons of the mother's ferment, wrapped the lid and ... on the battery, since our batteries are really hot rarely. Or I put the bottle in a yogurt maker, cover it with a towel. I used a pot for fermented baked milk, but now I don't have a slow cooker, and I only cooked baked milk in it

included six plastic jars (beeeeeeee)

well, plastic jars are really, perhaps, "beeeeee"

in the end I switched to fermenting yoghurt right in the milk bottle

wow "know-how"!

[Moulinex YG230]

I have Moulinex YG230... The first one warmed the yogurt up to 53 degrees, in the center it was even more - they changed it ... The service center said that you were still lucky - she just boiled the girl's milk; a napkin folded several times - now 39-40g., measured with a digital thermometer ... Simultaneously with the employee bought, she says that she does not overheat

well, plastic jars are really, perhaps, "beeeeee"
wow "know-how"!

laziness is the engine of progress. Vaughn, just poured the small ones into a cup of yogurt from just such a bottle.

I already wrote somewhere about those yogurt makers that are more expensive. For such money, as Moulinex and Tefal cost, a temperature sensor and a regulator could well be shoved into a plastic case. The detail is not so expensive, but it would take care of our nerves. In addition, different starter cultures actually require different temperatures (35 to 42 ° C). I came across information from European sites that yogurt needs 45 ° C, and as a person who has been related to biology for some time, I know that at this temperature poor bacteria no longer eat well.

[Rina]

For such money, as Moulinex and Tefal cost, a temperature sensor and a regulator could well be shoved into a plastic case. The part is not so expensive, but it would take care of our nerves

Rina, agree with you! Such a thing would make life very much easier. It would be possible to set the required temperature and control it. Very comfortably.
And then I constantly read that the most expensive yogurt maker mercilessly overheats. As you can see from the message above, this happens in a new cartoon (with a timer)
At 45 degrees, of course, all the "usefulness" will die, and the fermentation process will go completely differently
, as it should be. In melted honey (heated above 40 degrees), there is also no trace of the benefit).

Girls, take a cardboard box from the parcel (thick), cut holes in it and put it on the bottom of the yogurt maker .. that's it ... I don't have any overheating problems anymore ..

[Lara]

Lara, almost everyone who overheats the yogurt maker uses this method. Although, there are cases when even such thermal insulation does not help much.
And there are technological improvements too. For example, a thermal relay is connected, which has fairly accurate settings.

In general, I watched today "live" Mulik is simpler (without a timer), Mulik was not abruptly in the surrounding shops. The only difference from Klatronic is the ability to set the date on the lids of the cans (just a necessary function for a yogurt maker) and the cool design of the top lid (such waves), and the cans are absolutely identical. But at a price almost 100 UAH more expensive. Now the question is ripe for Clathronic, does anyone have? Does it overheat for an hour?

My Mulya is "simpler" In my opinion, the timer is not needed at all, because the timer will not stand up for you at night and will not put the jars in the refrigerator so as not to sour .. Yes, and the thermostat is not combined with the timer if you decide to buy ..
I like simple mulya because you can pick up jars of a different size, from under some jam or sauce, well, to have a larger volume ..
They all overheat .. I put a cardboard box and don't worry .. I bought a thermostat, but now I don't even need it with a cardboard box ..

I have Klatronic) overheats, so I turn it off every half hour. Sometimes I put a piece of cardboard. And how to use the thermostat and where you can buy it.

I purchased a thermostat from the Good Food online store (I think no links can be given here). And in some other stores there are those that sell leaven. Look, you have plenty to choose from in Ukraine
Simple to use. You turn on the yoghurt maker through the thermostat, insert the thermostat into the outlet, set the desired temperature range on it, and put the tip of its cord, the probe, in the yoghurt maker between the jars at the bottom .. It seems that I didn’t explain very well, but here somewhere there was a clear picture .. look ..

Thank you, I didn't know that there are such things

Girls from Ukraine, I'm ordering here now 🔗 the price seems to be acceptable - 125 UAH. (I used to write from memory and messed up malekho). There, orders are still being accepted today or tomorrow. And a similar one at the firm (not yet available, "call next week") costs 240 UAH.

Now I have strained a little with money, but I will definitely have to buy one for myself. Here are interesting leavens according to Ukrposhta if ordered do not spoil on the way.

As a rule, they have representatives in many cities. But they can also send it by mail.
My personal advice - if you take starter cultures - take a little - for a sample. To, so to speak, make sure of the quality ..

Typing in any search engine "thermostat for a yogurt maker" we get a lot of links to the same device. I have already read, at a special forum, about the good results of its use with Clathronic (and at a price they are together a little more than Muli). it can be provided. I don't know how critical 2-5C is for fermentation, but in the end, apparently, you can get perfect yogurt and be very proud of yourself

Here are interesting leavens according to Ukrposhta if ordered do not spoil on the way.

In fact, at points of sale they are kept in refrigerators. Find out directly on the starter culture website, they certainly should know.

So, the girl from Kidstaff replied that it was possible to decide before Monday. If there are 2 more willing for such a charm, then the price will be 120 hryvnyas (well, + shipment by New Mail) Ay-u, Kiev women, no one wants this?

Here Thermostats have recently been for 120 UAH, now they have raised by 10 UAH = 130 UAH

🔗

This gizmo is also convenient in that, according to the information on the site of the starter cultures, different starter cultures need different ripening temperatures and this can be ensured. I don't know how critical 2-5C is for fermentation, but in the end, apparently, you can get the perfect yogurt

Everything is correct, you can safely be proud - that you made really healthy yogurt, and did not kill a certain amount of beneficial bacteria by raising the temperature, it is not known how many of them survive and which remain after exceeding, it is a pity not to measure in any way
Kefir generally needs to be done at 28 C

Here Thermostats have recently been at 120 UAH, now they have raised by 10 UAH = 130 UAH

🔗

So they are in Dnepropetrovsk (all links lead to Dnepr, apparently they are produced there), it turns out + the same delivery by New Mail

Kind of like some kind of thermostats in Kiev on Kar. summer cottages can be purchased. But I suspect that I will get to Dnepropetrovsk earlier

About dry starter cultures. If you want to purchase and receive by mail, then this must be done before the ambient temperature rises above +25 in the daytime. Dry starter cultures can survive for three or four days at "room" temperature.

I have already ordered sourdough cultures several times. com, and in the heat, including in the summer. The courier had a cooler bag, so they're great - temp. the regime is observed. The product is always of high quality. By mail, of course, it is better to insure yourself.

This is if the courier. But when sending by mail

Rina, you are in Kiev! or not?

I am in Kiev, even to the IMiM point I can walk in 12 minutes.

And what prevents us from ordering before Monday at Kidstaff if you need it? We'll put on the 3rd and it's in the bag

Very, very cool thing
For almost a year she has been a faithful companion to my cheap Orion. Kvash always for the night and never any excesses.

A girl from Crimea had a question about sending by Ukrposhta

Previously, we had a small company and together we ordered starter culture for the children, and it seemed like a courier delivered a large order. Now only I have a little baby, and the last jar of bifivit remains, so I'm thinking of ordering by mail until it's warmer.

So, the girl from Kidstaff replied that it was possible to decide before Monday. If there are 2 more willing for such a charm, then the price will be 120 hryvnyas (well, + shipment by New Mail) Ay-u, Kiev women, no one wants this?

So this is about a thermostat? and when do you need to give the money? And now my finances are performed not even by romances, but by whole opera arias

Here, I looked more closely. It is a pity that this thing has an upper limit of 99 degrees with something. Right now, I'll think about it.

[Girls]

Girls
Can you tell me where you can buy a thermostat in Russia? I climbed all over the Internet and did not find it anywhere. Only gives out to Ukraine. I have a yogurt maker - the Ariete 637 ice cream maker, and it also overheats.

Maybe round coasters for hot dishes from Ikea will help you, they should insulate well from the cork. Overheats - does this mean whey is separated at the outlet?
My Arietka doesn't seem to be so ugly!

[Morozko]

Morozko
And my Arietka is disgraceful. Already after 3 hours in some glasses (in the middle) whey appears, not so much, but still there. And once, also in the same time, she almost curdled milk. Here, I am trying to find a thermostat, but so far without success. It looks like only in Ukraine (Greece has it all) he is. And we POOR RUSSIA.
It remains to try to buy hot coasters at IKEA. Are these the ones from the cork?

Yes, I looked after them to make the bottom of the yogurt maker even. But their diameter is slightly larger, they are sold in 3 pieces, the price is about 120 rubles.

Yes, I looked after them to make the bottom of the yogurt maker even. But their diameter is slightly larger, they are sold in 3 pieces, the price is about 120 rubles.

But they can also be cut in a circle. Are they not very thick? I visually try to remember their thickness. I am afraid that in the picture I will not understand their thickness.

girls, in stores with building materials in the wallpaper departments, sell cork wallpaper and tiles on the walls. The wallpaper is usually made of cork chips, rather thin, the tiles are denser. Perhaps, somewhere it will turn out to be bought by footage or by the piece.

About 0.8 cm, but it's very roughly

thickness 0.8? It's actually the thickness of the thumb. Not too much?

And a 0.8 cm thick cork won't fit into my Mulya - it's checked ...

The maximum climbed is a thin tourist mat (in fact, the tourist mat is thick, and this is the same "foam" in structure - insulation from the balcony) 0.3 cm + under the central bank 1/2 of the napkin folded 4 times (this is 0.15 cm), I tried a thin corrugated cardboard - it did not fit in height. I also tried corrugated cardboard without a mat - overheating.

help ..... I just want a square yogurt maker, with a timer ... it is possible with additional functions .. but .. so not to be a hooligan ... tell me. ..

you can pms in a personal as you like .. help ..

[Natalie]

Natalie, You should at least indicate in your profile where you live. How can I help you? Different countries and regions have different choices ...

Hello!
So I needed a yogurt maker. The child needs to start giving fermented milk products, but we did not prepare in advance on this topic. The husband focused on this: DEX DYM-107 (price). Please tell me what you need to pay attention to when choosing?

if you need a jar option, it is desirable that the jars are glass with heat-resistant lids. In some models, with a dishwasher option, plastic (both jars and lids) is sometimes deformed.
In the 107th dex, you can replace your own plastic jars with jars of baby food or mayonnaise. Dex 108 has an additional 1.5 liter plastic container for curd. I only used it. In other yogurt makers, you can try to pick up non-native dishes, the main thing is to stand in height.

In general ... they are yogurt makers and they are ...

[Rina]

Rina Thank you!
I looked 107 in several online stores, and there, apparently, they mistakenly wrote a bowl for cottage cheese in stock.
Did you make kefir in a yogurt maker?
