Electric Yoghurt maker question

[Debbiebillg]

Ohh nooo ! Might still give it a go.  Need to find a yoghurt strainer with a lid though anyway as the kids would more than likely knock it over otherwise ! Is the Tatziki recipe on the forum Wonder ? Sounds really nice !

Just went late night shopping with my eldest son and we bought some Greek yoghurt ! It's sooooooooo yummy ! We love the mango one.  I'm guessing though if we pureed a tin of mangoes and mixed it with the homemade greek yoghurt, it might come close (I hope) !

I use a cheese links culture for my yogurt and add 1/3 cup powdered milk per liter of milk plus 3 drops of calcium chloride and it turns out beautifully thick like Greek yogurt. I don't strain it usually but if I do I use a jelly bag on a stand to turn some in to cheese. A chux cloth in a strainer would do the same thing. I refrigerate mine whilst straining.

Bonsai, I make my yoghurt exactly the same with a Green Living culture. I think though I'd like to try and make it without the milk powder and strain it instead.  My eldest son doesn't like the yoghurt but loves bought Greek Yoghurt.

I think I'm going to order one of these as Kitchenware direct have free shipping this weekend.

Just keep in mind you only end up with half the quantity of yoghurt. If I'm making bread I'll keep the whey but otherwise unfortunately it ends up down the drain.

wonder, freeze the whey

Debbiebilig, is the free shipping offers only for members? I do not see it advertised on the site.

[Wonder]

I would buy that if it's free shipping, I'll have to have a look.

I have that and it works really well. I've stopped making yoghurt though as my DH just won't eat it. He prefers the shop bought sweetened stuff.

I saw an email from Kitchenware Direct saying they had free shopping this weekend. You enter a code when checking out. I deleted the email though, but i might be to get it back if you need it.
