Yoghurt Makers

[BadHair]

Someone mentioned a yoghurt maker in a recent thread. I've found one at Lakeland - does anyone own this or anything similar, and are they any good? What's the yoghurt like, is it worth the faff of making it, and would you recommend it?

Went to Tescos today and bought whole milk, s/s milk, whole UHT milk, milk powder, and some small live nat yoghurts for starters ... the checkout woman thought I was on some special new dairy diet!

But it is fantastic for us, as we've always been a very low-dairy consumption family. The aim of the yoghurt maker was to turn that around ... and it's worked

thanx sue!!
well... I sucommed, brought the easiyo from pearsons!! I got a pack of mix but they didn't have many mixes in stock, just banana and natural!! I also got the ice cream pack
I went to the lakeland w/site to order extra bits for it...... BIG mistake I saw some sttuff I just HAD to have.
Don't tel DH!!!
Does any one know where I can buy the mixes singly?

I finally bought the yoghurt maker and despite a small disaster with the first batch, we're now in full production. Am just putting fruit purees in for now but will be experimenting at the weekend.
Only thing is that kids are still suspicious of it as its not bright pink and full of sugar, so I'm eating all their leftovers - yum!

BadHair - just keep persevering with the kids ... mine took a while to get used to it - less sugar - but once they realised I wasn't going to buy any other yoghurts, fromage frais, or drinking yoghurts they just accepted it and got on with it. We are now a totally transformed dairy-eating family!
