Not sure where I got the recipe from (I think Amazing Scents) but thought I'd add it to the list of home made cleaning products.

1 cup bi Carb soda - cooking grade ie McKenzies
1/2 cup Citric Acid
1/3 cup Crushed lectric Soda
20 drops lemon essential oil

I haven't made it in a TM yet but it's fairly simple to do by hand

Crush the lectric soda in a mortar and Pestle until fine grains - I'm assuming a quick blitz in TM would do the job

Mix ingredients into a bowl in the order listed

Mix thoroughly and press into ice cube trays

Leave for 1 hr, pop out and store in an airtight container

Tips
Don't overfill the ice cube tray, depending on your dishwasher make and model it may not fit into the holder
Set the dishwasher to tablet setting if your dishwasher has this function.

I am going to finally get around to making this. What is:

1/3 cup Crushed lectric Soda

?

WOO HOO I have had success!!!
Have now made 6 batches of yoghurt with no failures...I am a very happy little vegemite

Here is the recipe from the new Everyday Cook Cook that I have been using, but will add my tweaks so you can all have success at making yoghurt. - My next trial will be without the powdered milk...I don't think personally that it will need it as it is now really really thick. I will report back on that.


Ingredients

800g Full Cream Milk
50 g Milk Powder
3 tablespoons Pot Set Natural Yoghurt

Method

Place milk and powdered milk into  and blend for 10 seconds on speed 7.

Cook for 30 minutes at 90 on speed 1.

Allow to cool to 37 degrees (this will take at least 30 minutes.  If you do not have a thermometer, to test this, remove TM bowl from the housing and then put it back in.  The temperature will register on the machine as you put it in.)

This is where I found the problem as the TM registered 37 degrees but my thermometer was a lot more (and the bowl still felt really hot). I use a thermometer but have also found that waiting until no lights light up on the TMX is also cool enough to proceed without killing the culture. Be warned this can take quite a while...and you will have a late night if you start this process too late after dinner lol - sorry to those that have had this happen before I edited this post!!


Add the yoghurt and blend gently for 4 seconds on speed 4

cook for 10 minutes at 37 on speed 1

While yoghurt is cooking, pour boiling water into glass jar (from yoghurt maker) or Thermos flask to sterilise and warm. (If using jar, place into yoghurt maker) - I use an Easiyo thermos and jar

Once yoghurt is cooked, pour immediately into jar or thermos and leave overnight or for around 8 hours to set. You should not disturb the yoghurt during this time. (I make mine last thing at night and leave it while everyone is in bed so there is no chance of it being disturbed)

Place in fridge and don't forget to reserve 3 tablespoons for the next time!

General tips

The yoghurt should get thicker and creamier the more frequently you remake it using your own starter. Add extra acidophilus powder if desired, available from Health Food Stores.

Use either skim or full cream powdered milk, but choose brand carefully based on additives.

Hi there,

I have a few questions. I want to start making my own yoghurt:

Should I purchase an easiyo do I need both the jar and the thermos?
Shall I get a thermometer?
If not using powered milk do I need to use more milk? Does organic milk work just as well?

Kind regards,

Charde

We made this the other night and it was delicious!

How many washes do you think you get out of this?

Has anyone done pricing compared to Aldi tablets?

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing this. I would love to see more high in protein low in carb recipes if anyone has any to share? Thanks, charde

I made it and it was delicious. Just wish I had of cut the fat off the bacon as I could taste it a little too much!

Hey everyone,

I'm going overseas for a week next week and feeling a little guilty. I would love some recommedatioms of things could cook that would keep in the fridge and are easy to heat up. Any tips?

Thanks,

Charde

Pumpkin Soup 2

Ingredients:
2 medium onions, quartered
4 bacon rashers, chopped roughly
1 garlic clove
20g olive oil or butter
3 cups pumpkin, diced (approx 850g)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 tsp TM vegetable stock
3 cups water
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
pinch cayenne pepper
100g evaporated milk

Method:
Chop onions, garlic and bacon in TM bowl for 2 seconds, Speed 5.
Add oil or butter. Saute on 3 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1.
Add the rest of the ingredients except for evaporated milk.
Set for 15 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1.
Add evaporated milk, and then blend 15-20 seconds by slowly going from  Speed 1 - 9.

Tip: this is not a thick soup but was the right consistency for my taste, if you prefer it thicker add 'a bit' less water.

I've been sick at home in bed for four days and this sounds perfect for my lunch. Could I substitute the evaporated milk and cayenne pepper for something as I have none and don't want to go to the shops?

Thanks,

Charde
