Yoghurt Maker Buying Guide
Yoghurt, it’s healthy, it’s beneficial, and when you make it at home, it’s absolutely delicious! When you start looking into choosing a yoghurt maker the sheer number of machines available can be staggering. So, how do you choose the right one for you? Look for these key features:
Setting Time
Depending on whether you like thinner yoghurts for drinking, or yoghurt so thick you feel like you’re on a Greek island, it all comes down to timing. Looks for machines with variable times, and controls that are easy to read and/or set.
Capacity
Is enough ever really enough with yoghurt? A single pot is ideal for one, or look for a whole bucket for families, choosing the right capacity will avoid running out of delicious yoghurt.
Energy Efficiency
Yoghurt makers run for long periods of time as part of the setting process. As such you don’t want a gas-guzzler sucking power for little return. Look for yoghurt makers that are low wattage, or that have energy efficiency recognition.
Ease of cleaning
Whilst yoghurt is set with a live culture, there are some bacteria you simply don’t want growing in your yoghurt maker. Look for machines that come apart, and that have parts that will clean easily. Ideally dishwasher safe is best.
Ease of use
Making yoghurt is a simple process, time and temperature rule. So, look for machines that have pre-programmed settings, easy to read displays, alarms or audible notifications for doneness, and that are easy to assemble/clean for best results.
