VonShef Digital Yoghurt Maker with 7 Jars – Electric, Compact, Stainless Steel Machine with LED Display & Timer, 180ml Glass Containers / Yoghurt Pots - For Making Fresh, Healthy Homemade Desserts

This yoghurt maker is elegant and easy to use. It is simple to change the length of incubation time using the control button on the front. The indicator clearly shows how much time remains to the nearest hour, which is adequate. It is set to one temperature only which seems to maintain the culture at 40 to 42 degrees Celsius...ideal for yoghurt. Absolutely no problems with using this to make great yoghurt.I have made my yoghurt using whole milk with Yeo Valley natural yoghurt as a starter and also using yoghurt from a previous batch as starter with equally successful results. I have noticed that some reviewers failed to get their yoghurt to set. This has not been my experience. A very good set is achieved after 10 hours. Indeed, eight hours seems to be enough. I can only conclude that some of the reviewers having poor results did not use proper live yoghurt as starter. They should look carefully at the label for the words "live culture" and a list of the bacteria. If this is not mentioned then you should look for another brand. The other possibility is that they did not cool their milk sufficiently ( to about 45C) before adding starter as too much heat will kill the culture. UHT milk can also be used, avoiding the sterilisation step.Instructions provided are adequate for the machine but probably don't give enough detail on quantities for people new to yoghurt making. You need:1150ml milk80ml live yoghurt as starterEnsure jars are well washed and rinsed to remove detergent. Dry in oven to sterilise or upside down in air. Do NOT put plastic lids in the oven or they will melt!The bottom line is that this is a great yoghurt maker. I can highly recommend it. Happy yoghurt making!

What a great product, works beautifully & is so simple. Produces great yoghurt. Fantastic customer service also. Highly recommend.

This yoghurt maker is easy to use and I like the individual containers. I wish it didn't just show hours though! The addition of minutes to the display would make it much easier to know how long it has been on (as opposed to somewhere within a 60-minute range). We like to experiment with different ingredients and changing the "on" time is an obvious thing to play with, plus knowing how long there is left.

On my second batch of yogurt and it is working amazingly well.i thought there may be an issue with not having temprature control but Not al all. It works perfectly at the correct temprature to keep your yogurt at 36 to 42 Celsius.Great product for the price.

Easy..cleanable..not to bulky..love the glass tubs..it tasted great..this is great value..it'd has its own temperature control so you don't have to play with buttons

A very neat and compact yogurt maker that represents excellent value for money. I have been making yoghurt for a few years, using whole milk and greek style yoghurt, using Instant Pot etc: but this little uncomplicated machine does a first class job, without any fuss. A good buy! The instructions could be better but some of the reviews provide useful additional information for recipes etc.

This machine works well for making yoghurt (which it’s supposed to do!) I love the glass jars (rather than a plastic insert you get in some of the bigger yoghurt makers!) plastic around food is not cool. Especially if you are going to the trouble of making yoghurt yourself.I had no problems like other reviewers saying that the yoghurt didn’t set - quite the opposite it set really well (pretty solid and perfect if you like a thick yoghurt!) just to be specific this is on the 10 hour timer and I live in the uk, it’s Autumn here so fairly average temp about 19C in our house.Product looks good, is simple and easy enough to clean but I’ve left off one star as I find the small pots quite annoying - I sterilise them before use in a UVC steriliser and I’d rather pop one glass jar in than 7 small ones and lids but that’s just my preference - I make bravo yoghurt for my daughters health (a special probiotic yoghurt for a chronic health condition!) she uses varying amounts every day (meaning a large glass jar makes more sense - I can just dose out however much I need!) and my daughter also refuses to eat the yogurt that was made in the yoghurt maker as it was so thick and lumpy (kids can be fussy!) so now I’m trying a large mason jar in a thermos set up and seeing if that makes more sense for us. Leaving bowls of yoghurt in the oven overnight just doesn’t work in our house - somebody always forgets it’s in there and turns the oven on! 🥴

First of all this is a great yoghurt maker. Very easy to use. My first attempts at making the yoghurt were not good- too runny. The instructions are basic. So this is what I did to get perfect yoghurt.I used -1 litrre of Whole Pasteurised MilkBrought to boil. Allowed to cool to 43c-47c (I used a thermometer to check. I did purchase a glass yoghurt thermometer that has markers on it just for yoghurt temperature, but you could well already have a regular glass cooking one)I used a sachet of dried yoghurt culture (the ones with the healthy bacteria)STIR the sachet contents WELL (4 min) into the milk with a whisk making sure it is at 43c-47c before adding sachet.I also added some boiled hot water to each jar beforehand then tipped out water (this warms the jars)Filled jars with whisked mixture and allowed 8-10 hrs in yoghurt maker. Afterward jars go into the fridge and will continue to mature still for a couple of days.So a yoghurt maker is really an incubator you are maintaining that 43c temperature for 8-10 hours.Next batch you should be able to use one of the jars of yoghurt as a starter making sure it is at room temperature first.Real live yoghurt is extremely good for your gut. Regular supermarket ones have lots of sugar and additives.
