has anyone tried making quark with the yogurt machine?

I make Quark in this yogurt maker all the time. I just pour in a quart of buttermilk (don't even wait for room temperature), turn it on for 16 hours and strain it through cheesecloth. For creamy Quark, add a shot of heavy cream and stir. Really good with chopped herbs stirred in, or my favorite, plain with jam on top on bread.

Thank you! I have found that one cannot repeat using started yogurt--by putting one I made into the new batch. Interesting that the culture "gives out" after a few repeats.

YES, I just started using my own starter from my previous batch of yogurt. The previous batch was made with a starter packets, two (2) packets of 5g of yogurt starter, making two (2) quarts. My new batch I used 3-4 Tablespoons of previous batch, which is probably way too much. It did come out wonderful, a little thick, just add some milk if it is too thick. I have read and you only really need "...2-3 teaspoons of commercial or homemade yogurt..." I just get carried away. I make at least two (2) batches a week, so yummy--add raspberries for a topping. I use 2 bags of frozen raspberries place in a pot, adding some water, maybe a 1/2 cup and add about 1/2 cup of sugar.

I don't think the machine cares what kind of milk you use as long as you have the packets of bacteria to mix with it and the 'milk' can handle being heated. I admit I have never tried them. I use it to make lactose free yogurt.

I did, but I used dairy yogurt as the starter. (About 1 tbsp per pint jar) I used a carton of west soy organic unsweetened plain. The only ingredients are soybeans and water. I did not scald it, just poured into jars, stirred in yogurt and set for 9 hours. It was super thick and tasted great! I would like it a little tart-er next time, so I will go to 10 or 11 hours.

Yes. The set includes a 1 QT rectangular container AND 6 jars that all fit in the unit at the same time. You can make a half gallon of yogurt using both the rectangular container and the jars! It works great! This is my 2nd one, I gave my first one to my daughter. It also has a strainer that fits into the rectangular container to strain and thicken the yogurt. Hope this helps!

I use the Yogourmet yogurt maker which makes 2 quarts at one time--but you can also make just one quart. It is available on Amazon for $49.95. I have used mine for about 10 years now and it still works great. I use non-fatmilk and add 3/4 cup Bob's Red Mill non-fat dry milk powder per quart to make a very good thick yogurt. I slowly sprinkle the milk powder on top of the hot milk and use a whisk to stir it in, then let it cool before adding the starter. Unfortunately Amazon no longer carries the Yogourmet freeze dried yogurt starter which I like best. I incubate my yogurt for 5 hours because I like it tangy.

We have never done it, but I have found a link to making Greek yogurt which is thicker using another similar dehydratorhttp://www.ehow.com/how_8342492_make-yogurt-home-excalibur-dehydrator.html

Tanya, I get a little package of plain yogurt to start mine. It works great. I make the greek yogurt. You will have to strain it to make Greek yogurt. Mine tastes better than the Fage brand. I use2 tablespoons of Fage to start mine, so I can eat the rest. But you can start it with regular yogurt. I am thinking about doing a Youtube about how to do it. I have some great tips that will make it easy to do

I didn't use an electric yogurt maker. I just use a jar with the yogourmet and half and half covered with an unfolded napkin held in place with a rubber band. I set it on a counter the kitchen in a warm place and it makes beautiful rich yogurt in about 24 hours + or - depending on the temperature of the house at the time. As I'm the only one who eats it, I don't bother with the electric machine when a jar works well.

I can't imagine how to use a dehydrator for yogurt, but no, I haven't used it for that. It makes great jerky though

I guess it would depend on how thick your yogurt is to start out. I have never tried it, but it would be worth a try. I use a Donvier Wave for straining my yogurt and the mesh is much finer and works perfectly. Good luck!!

Yes, according to the Bob's Red Mill site, where there is a recipe (I've never tried to make it). In addition, a Google search shows several recipes, including for bread machines. Hope this helps!

I have made yogurt in the InstantPot following their directions and it works fine. I have been very pleased with the results. Soy, almond and coconut yogurt take extra steps because of the nature of the products.

I returned my Secura because it din't work at all , but I have had Ice cream machines in the past and in my experience anything which can make good ice-cream can also make good frozen yogurt.

Sorry Rachel, I haven't tried that. Why don't you fill up an ice cube tray with yogurt instead of making popsicles.
