Bear Yogurt Maker, Greek Yogurt Maker Machine with Strainer and Timer Control, Stainless Steel Inner Pot, Automatic Digital with 2 Glass Jars 1 Quart for Home Organic Yogurt, Cheese, Fruit Wine

The media could not be loaded. We use this yogurt maker every single week, and it has quickly become a staple in our kitchen. One of my favorite features is that it comes with two containers, which makes it so convenient to keep a fresh batch ready while another is being finished or chilled.The process is simple and reliable, and the yogurt comes out great every time. I did tweak the recipe a little—I use 6 tbsp of yogurt starter with 4 cups of milk, which makes a wonderfully thick, Greek-style yogurt. It is so easy, I dump the yogurt starter in 4 c of milk, whisk and turn on the machine - 10 hours later perfect yogurt!If you’re looking for a yogurt maker that’s easy to use, easy to clean, and delivers delicious results, I highly recommend this one! I especially recommend it for smaller homes where the instapot just makes too much yogurt.I have been using this this since January!

The media could not be loaded. Really happy with this yogurt maker! The 10-hour setting makes thick n 8 hr setting makes regular curd, creamy yogurt that turns out great every time. The 2 glass jars are just right for storing individual portions. Simple to use – the digital temperature control keeps heat steady whether I use regular milk or almond milk. The clear LCD screen shows everything clearly, and the 1quart size is big enough for our whole family. Cleanup's easy since the lids lock tight.no noise at all easy functionality to manage & feel good to allocate space for yogurt star.

1) Bought 1st unit in October 2023, worked fine, and using for L. Reuteri yogurt...setting the unit for 14 hours, then setting again for 14 hours, then setting a third time to bring cooking time to between 30-36 hours. Yogurt was fine.2) Bought 2nd unit in May 2024, and there is a noticeable difference in the temperature at the bottom of the cooking unit; this second unit is hotter by ~1-1.5 degrees. Still produces yogurt, but at times I end up with a cottage-cheese-type product, rather than yogurt.I HAVE NO WAY OF DETERMINING THE QUANTITY OF L. REUTERI CULTURE IN THE PRODUCT I AM MAKING, THOUGH...and am only judging by taste that there is SOME sort of 'culture' activity going on.ALSO...I have no way of measuring the difference in my gut microbiome since I started using this home-made L. Reuteri yogurt for practically all of my yogurt...with only the occasional Fage or other 'on-sale' store brand, which is L. Bacillus.If possible, check the temperature of the bottom of the cooking unit with a cooking thermometer, because you need 100-102 degrees for L. Reuteri, over at least 30 hours. I sometimes cook my batches for up to 40 hours...because the 'hockey-stick' growth chart indicates that the culture growth spurt really takes off around 30 hours.***I have a success rate of about 90% with this machine...and I attribute most of my failures (cottage-cheese-type product, or differently cultured & sour liquid) to either:a) compromised containers of half and half (sometimes bulging more than usual, but un-expired), orb) sterility problems on my part, especially when I am starting a second batch in the same container I have just emptied to a quart container for storage in the fridge. There is the possibility that the lip of the glass cooking container was not sterilized thoroughly enough BY ME, thereby introducing foreign / additional bacteria or yeast cultures...giving me a poor or bad product.***Overall, I would recommend this product as the best unit out there for making quart-sized batches...as the smaller-container units aren't satisfactory for my quart-sized needs for the L. Reuteri yogurt.I haven't tried making L. Gasseri yogurt in this machine as of the writing of this review.
