Suteck Yogurt Maker with 2 Quart Glass Jars, Stainless Steel, Time & Temp

The yogurt maker works well. It is easy to use and clean up. I have made about 10 batches of yogurt without any problems.

This is the first yogurt maker I have purchased. It is easy to use. I have made 12 batches of yogurt since purchase. The instructions and set up were simple. The prompts on the panel are clear. The temperature and timer controls are accurate. My yogurt is good tasting. I have used purchased yogurt culture starter and Chobani Greek live culture yogurt from my local store with equal success. I have started with bringing the milk mixture up to 190 degrees f. for the prescribed time, then cooling. And also starting with the the milk mixture cold, with equal success. I think cold success is unusual, and that was the first batch I made which was the recipe included with this machine. My first batch with cold start milk mixed with Chobani Greek live culture turned out perfect. I didn't know that most culture staters instructions have you heat the milk to relax the proteins The yogurt after 8 hours is a nice soft custard set. With a smooth bit of tartness. Very good. Nice mouth feel and much tastier than plain store bought. I use 2% homogenized milk. I often add 100 ml to the total volume of 1.5 liters of milk to boost the fat content. I prefer to 7se 5he milk we have on hand. My family prefers 2%. For the two containers the heat distribution seems even. There are indentations on the bottom of the water basin for 8 smaller containers. It doesn't come with small containers. And I don't plan on trying this feature as I drain my yogurt for Greek style. So I don't know how consistent the heat is for the smaller areas. It comes with 2 bowls with plastic lids that seal securely. And between the 2 containers they easily hold the 1.5 liters of milk mix. You can store your completed yogurt in the bowls in the refrigerator, with the lids provided. Or transfer into other containers. You can add water before or after you fill the incubation bowls. I like to use warm tap water close to the incubation temperature just to give everything a head start. It is very easy to take the bowl lids on and off while the bowls are in the warm water bath. The clear hard plastic lid sits on top of the water basin. It doesn't lock in place. So keep this in mind when storing it. To clean, I unplug, it dump the water into my sink and wash with a soft cloth and mild dish soap and rinse out and air dry. I place paper towels in between the bowl lids and the basin lid after drying the unit to store it to prevent any residual moisture from causing problems.

Finally! This is my third yogurt maker, and the one that is actually working. The lid is designed to draw the moisture back down into the reservoir of water, not into the electrical panel like other models! I love how it makes two containers of yogurt in one batch, and how you can adjust the timer and temperature to anything you need (for example, I needed 36 hours at 100 degrees for l. reuteri yogurt). I believe it runs a little hot though, so check with a thermometer and adjust as needed. I think I knocked mine down a couple degrees, and it's been perfect. Recommended.

This product does a fabulous job of maintaining temperature for a long period of time. I bought it to make the L. Reuteri yogurt that takes 36 hours at 100 degrees. I used the Crispatus starter which can be purchased on Amazon as well. My first batch did not set up, but I used 2% organic milk and didn't heat the bath water before submerging the bowls. My second batch turned out beautifully after switching to Half and Half milk. After that, I reserve 2 Tablespoons of the L. Reuteri yogurt to make the next batch. It comes out very creamy and no separation. I am making my own yogurt because fermenting it myself provides the very healthy L. Reuteri bacteria your body needs that cannot be bought in store bought yogurts. The FDA regulation only requires 2 strands of probiotic bacteria and 6-8 hours fermentation to be called yogurt with "live active cultures" and most of them have so much sugar that any benefits of those live cultures are offset by the sugar and maybe saturated fat. Making your own allows you to control the sugar and cultures your body needs. AND, It tastes better! This product does the job. I questioned it after reading many comment on needing temperature stabilization and needing the more expensive brand products. However, I decided to try it and glad I did. It provides 2 glass bowls with lids. I put water inside the vessel with the bowls for a more even heating throughout. (Make sure the water gets heated to 100 degrees before you start the 36 hour countdown. You can usually get there within 30 minutes to an hour. ) Then put the bowls of half and half along with the active cultures in the warm water bath and wait. That's it! I add berries, cinnamon, honey and a healthy granola to eat it.

We like this yogurt maker and use it multiple times per week. It's simple, effective, and quiet. We have only tried one recipe from the "Super Gut" book and set it for 100F x 36 hours. It makes delicious, firm healthy yogurt. We'll try other recipes soon.

I've never made yogurt before and the Manual doesn't tell you how to use this machine at all. I struggled to find answers. I bought the 2 bowl model and it arrives with 8 indents in the bottom for the 8 jars, Rufus says all models come with 8 indents. So my bowls do not sit flush on the base. The video shows adding water and the written information says you don't. I set the machine to 106F, I tested the yogurt temperature with a digital thermometer and it said 115F. I had no idea if this was normal or not but the internet said up to 115F is okay to make yogurt. Day 2 I tested the temp of my yogurt and it is 124F, ruined, stinky. Why is it heating to 124F if I set it for 106F. Others complained about uneven heating and Yes, when I dumped my ruined yogurt it was very cooked where the center of the machine is and the other sides were not as cooked. Overall, this machine has alot of problems and I would not recommend it.

It works, it’s not industrial type quality as many made it sound in saying it’s high quality. But it’s just good quality that is okay. For the price, if it last ls for two years workit weekly I’ll be impressed and happy. It’s not a price of garbage as far as it lion and feels so far. I’m happy enough for the cost in today’s high market. Do recommend unless I ever find a more professional build. One thing I wish every company would do is get rid of plastic lids because we’re learning how toxic and deadly micro plastics are and they should all almost make it a law that we move into stainless glass and natural things and also pure silicone. Some silicones are not safe but when done properly and it’s clear silicone it is safe for working with Foods. That was probably just my worst complaint that I live with though.

I am following Dr. William Davis’ book “Super Gut”. This has both the higher temperature and longer hours to make my own truly, healthy yogurt! It is very easy to use and clean. It is lightweight, and the eight glass containers with lids come with the unit. I will never buy store bought yogurt again!
