How to choose the right yogurt maker?
On the principle of operation all yogurt makers are the same, although they are produced by different manufacturers. While choosing, keep in mind 5 parameters which will help you to decide on the model.
1. The shape of the appliance
- round — Orion, Moulinex, Vinis, Delfa, Saturn and others;

Separate two ways of heating:
- Based on the thermos principle: containers with contents heated up to 60 ˚C uniformly for 30 minutes. Then the appliance shuts off, but keeps warm for a long time inside — optimal for the reproduction of lactic bacteria. This feature saves electricity consumption by a factor of 2;
- With a constant heating temperature: The yogurt maker heats up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit ºC and keeps warm for 8-12 hours before cooking is complete. Advantages: hidden heating element (tubular electric heater) allows you to use a low dish to make sourdough or kefir when the molds from the set are busy.
Conclusion: base your choice on your own preferences. In the first case — you save on electricity. In the second — more opportunities for your culinary imagination.
3. The number of jars:
-
— Maxwell, Rotex, Supra; . — Arzum Bebbe Yogurt, Clatronic; . — Tefal YG 652, Steba GM 2, Russell Hobbs.
Conclusion: Choose the optimal number of molds based on the number of family members who consume dairy products.
Jars range in size from 100 to 200 ml — Depending on the model. They come with lids that are tightly put on or screwed on. If you plan to make a fermented dairy product based on store-bought yogurts, I suggest buying lids with the ability to set the date. To remember until when to eat them. Yogurts prepared on the basis of bacterial sourdough — live yogurts — only keep for two days.
4. Jar material:
-
— fragile. Can easily be substituted for baby food or mustard jars. Sterilizable if necessary; — durable. These jars are easy to clean because they do not break or break. Withstands temperature changes from -20 ºC to +120 ºС. But when heated, the poor quality material releases harmful substances — keep this in mind when deciding on a model.

-
— will turn off the device immediately after finishing work and will inform about it by a sound signal; — manual setting of the yoghurt preparation time. Signals the end of work with a light or sound signal.
outputautomatic switch-off is better than mechanical one. Because you do not need to control the process of the device. Yogurt will not overheat and healthy bacteria will not die.
