Question: What kind of thermometer do you use, and how long does it take to bring 5 cups of milk to 180 degrees.
Document: I love love love this yogurt maker set. Especially the strainer that comes with it. Besides straining the finished yogurt, it is great for adding powdered milk which always comes out a bit lumpy when reconstituted. It has very simple instructions which work perfectly. I mostly use 5 cups skim milk, 1 envelope of powdered milk and half a chobani single serving plain yogurt. I have made 12 batches so far and only one wasn't perfect, because the milk got a bit too hot. The directions warned about this.
How do you get 2 quarts from 5 and a half cups ingredients?? I would like a 2 quart batch as stated in description.
I wanted a bulk Greek yogurt maker rather than those with small jars that make small amounts of regular yogurt. This yogurt maker solved my problems. I tried crockpot, oven light methods but could not get a thick Greek yogurt until I purchased a Dash yogurt maker. It solved the problem instantly. I was accustomed to heating the milk to 180 F, by thermometer, in a double boiler and letting it cool to 100-110, adding Yogourmet or starter but I could not maintain an even heat.
We love this yogurt maker! This is an upgrade from our classic multiple single serve cups maker. This is super easy to use and makes great yogurt. I love the strainer and the two part to-go containers since I like greek yogurt with homemade granola. We are also loving the yogurt pop makers ...... I only wish there were some suggestions for using those included in the recipe book.
I LOVE the greek yogurt that comes out of this machine. I've been mixing my milk 4 cups 1% milk with 1 cup almond milk (vanilla, unsweetened) and the yogurt is super thick and creamy. i doubt i'll ever buy yogurt again. i confess i ddin't buy it thru amazon (i found a great deal at a local store and that's why i started researching the machine to begin with).
This dinky little appliance is wonderful. I have gotten the art of making yogurt down to 100 seconds, precisely! I add 4 cups of  skim milk, half a cup of skim milk, half a cup of yogurt straight from the fridge into the container like another reviewer suggested, whisk it up, pop it on overnight for 10 hours, and taa-daaaaah! It's ready in the morning and perfect. No need to heat up the milk and other faff.
I love this machine! I use Fage for the starter culture and the yogurt tastes the same. I can make 4 bathes with a gallon if milk, so I'm saving money too.
I am very pleased with my Dash Greek Yogurt Maker! It is quite easy to use and since I am completely in control of the ingredients, I am using an organic starter and organic non-GMO milk with no growth hormone. Easy process. Delicious result. Healthy! !
Makes the best yogurt I've ever tasted, and I've tasted a lot, with barely any work besides preheating the milk. I used 2 percent milk. After tasting this the preheating does not seem like a chore; I am eager to do it. Very easy to use and clean and all parts nest together for storage. The digital timer is hard to see but you need to consult it only once. Eight hours made perfect yogurt. So glad I bought.
Love this yogurt maker. It work perfectly and love that it automatically shuts off since I tend to do to many things at a time and would forget about tyrning my machine off. As for the bonus materials, I love the twist storage cups but dont really care for the push pop one and would of rather had more storage cups, but I havent used it yet so maybe I will change my mind. I bought the pink one and love the color.
Answer: I use an electronic digital one. I heat the milk in the microwave at 1 min intervals. It probably takes about 10 mins. But I haven't actually timed. I decrease the heating time as the temp nears 185.
