Rating : - Great value!
I just finished my first batch of yogurt using this Salton appliance. It is very simple to use, easy clean up, and it's cute too (looks like a little R2-D2). The hardest part of making the yogurt (and it's not really hard, just time consuming) is getting the milk heated, then cooled and ready for the machine. I altered the recipe from the booklet that comes with the product just a tad--I wanted to make the closest thing to the Fage Greek yogurt I have been buying. I used 3.5 cups of 1% milk and .5 cups of heavy whipping cream, and used .5 cups of the Fage 2% as a starter. After 10 hours, I placed the batch (or as much as would fit) in the Cuisipro yogurt cheese maker. After about 4 hours (and after adding the rest of the yogurt from the Salton), I had FABULOUS greek yogurt--thick, creamy, with only a very slight tang...Delicious! For a first attempt, I am thrilled with both products and the end result. If you have been looking for a way to make your own, you can't beat both these products.
