Easiyo Yoghurt Maker

[SpacegirlRevisited]

I bought one of these a short time ago and have quickly realised that its not really that economical if I use the flavoured sachets.

I'm wondering if theres a way to use a traditional yoghurt recipe in the Easiyo flask. I quite like the look of the Hugh FW recipe but dont know if it would work.

Any advice/experience would be very gratefully received.

Gah! Meant this for Food section. How can I get this moved please?

Is this any help?

Voila

If the easi yo flask is an insulated flask then I'd have thought in theory is fine.
I had a very basic yoghurt maker purloined from a charity shop years ago. All it actually consisted of was a plastic lidded 1 pint container for the yoghurt mixture with an insulated open topped pot (kind of like a wine cooler shape) ...anything similar to easi yo?

I use a carton of long life uht semi skimmed milk, add couple spoon fulls of live natural yoghurt and spoon of powdered milk - works a treat, and no need to boil the milk first.

Thanks for the tips everyone.

Runningblue thats exactly what the Easiyo looks like so in theory the tips that Zacharyquack and fergoose have given me should work.

I'm going to try tomorrow and see how it goes.

Can anyone anticipate any problems sweetening with honey when the live yoghurt etc goes in?

I would sweeten afterwards before serving rather than adding it as an ingredient at the beginning
