TM5 Automated Program : Yoghurt

[cookie1]

I've had to rob the draining yoghurt a few times as I needed some for cooking. After reading that helpful thread I may have solved my problem.

I still think that using a yogurt maker is the best way to go.
I follow superkitchenmachines method and then pour into individual jars (or a larger container if making paneer).
The yogurt maker is temperature controlled and can culture for up to 24 hours if needed. I usually do 12 hours for our weekly yogurt.
The yogurt maker doesn't use much power and the thermomix is free to be used for other cooking.

Have to agree. But 10 hours over night seems right for us.  I make 1 liter a week.

I had a fantastic yoghurt maker and lent it to Mum. When she went to cook in heaven one of the family nicked it. I wish I knew who, I would visit and claim it back. It has probably been thrown out by now anyway.

What is the best yogurt maker to buy please other than the new tmx?

I like the Aldi one with small jars...we like yoghurt but don't go through as much as other members. I use Faffa's yoghurt (1/2 quantity), poured into the jars and then in the incubator.

I'm not sure what brand mine is ,there's a small orange house above the turn on switch no writing, small jars also, takes 1 litre ,  just me eating yogurt so it's plenty. Sorry can't check underneath as yogurt is setting now.

I have one I bought through the GAPS website.

It works very well and has small jars or you can put a larger container in if you wish.

Emme,  mine is the Electric One. Makes a liter at a time .  I think the thing to decide is wheat her to buy one that makes small jar or a large amount to is versatile and will make both. 

[Emme]

Thanks ladies for your help, I think I will look into getting one that makes at least a litre.

I make 2L of yogurt at a time in the TM31 once a week. Just milk and some left over starter from the last batch. As simple as simple and brilliant results every time. I wouldn't use the TM5 for that b/c I wouldn't want to be using electricity all night. As it is I just pop it in the Thermosever for 8 hours. And I can still use my TM31 during the day.

When I first read the TM5 made yogurt I thought 'wooohooo - I would buy it for that' but I have since realised I wouldn't!

Someone would blush for sure.   Or else there would be lots of "not me, not me".

LOL Cookie!

Well , didn't think I would use the auto programme for yoghurt,  but am doing so today. I am not making anything else in 5 today so don't mine using it duuring the day.   Interestingly ,  the 5 heats the mixture to 45. I heat mine to 37. I use long life milk,  this recipe uses fresh milk. I haven't added the powdered milk or cream.
