Contech Electronics CRO101 Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler Review
(1) I read a lot of reviews for the YM80 before buying and people complained about the lack of an automatic shut off. For an extra $10 this machine provides the shut off. My first batch of organic yogurt came out great. I think it is better for our health and environment to be eating yogurt out of glass jars and not adding a plastic container to the dump every time we eat yogurt. I made plain yogurt and added 2 tablespoons of dried organic milk. The yogurt was firm and nicely presented. It was somewhat tart so I added a tablespoon of honey just before eating, this added a little sweetness without taking away the yogurt flavor. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have some control over what they are putting in their system. You can make this yogurt with skim, 1%, 2% or whole milk, organic milk or local milk, or even goat’s milk. The shut off valve is convenient for people who don’t want to keep track of when to unplug the yogurt machine. Although turning it on right before going to bed seems like about the right amount of time for a batch of yogurt.
(2) This is just a great machine so far, but look, if you want to, you can obsess with complex formulas and temperatures and sterilization and what not, but you don’t have to to make great yogurt. I have been experimenting for a while and I’m still working on it, but so far, this is what I’ve come up with…use the cups as a measuring device…I made one batch using a commercial, freeze dried yogurt starter…when I had eaten six of those, I used the seventh as a starter. This has just become part of my routine. I eat six and use the seventh for the next batch. So, in a big bowl I put one jar of yogurt, one jar heavy cream, five jars of milk and about two tablespoons of powdered milk. I stir it with a whisk until it’s all incorporated well and then I pour it in the jars in the machine and set the timer. Now, this is where you need to experiment. I have done it without the powdered milk, it’s still wonderful, just thinner and I like thick yogurt, so I’m trying it with the powdered milk and a little longer time. The first batch I did like this I cooked for about seven hours. I am trying ten right now. I want to see if I can get it the thickness of Greek yogurt. I have boiled the milk and it makes a little difference but not much. It’s not worth it. Really, it can become such an easy part of your week and the yogurt is so much better and cheaper than what you buy in a store.
