Fun to make your own yoghurt
Temperature control works perfectly. You have fresh, good yoghurt within eight hours. Highly recommended
Perfect part
2x yoghurt per week. Thanks to the electric heat and time control, I also make quark. 35 degrees, 25 hours. I found a PYrex cake tin that just fits in.
Pro
- Nothing negative.
Good product, I am very satisfied with it.
Pro
- Silent
- Good size
Contra
- Lid a bit fragile
Steba JM3, a yoghurt maker like you want it to be
Pro
- precise electronic temperature control
- The yoghurt jars from Severin (180ml) also fit in the Steba JM3
- Numerical temperature display
- Electronic timer enables switch-off after 8 hours
- German operating instructions also as PDF file
Contra
- -
Temperature far above the set and not constant.
At normal set 42°C for yogurt, measured about 52°C fluctuating = yogurt dead and divorced.
At 33°C approx. 44°C fluctuating = yogurt about guessed and edible but rather liquid than solid.Pro
- Temperature individually adjustable
Contra
- Temperature not as set
- Temperature not constant
Very happy. Delicious yogurts
Pro
- Even after 6 hours in the machine led joguhrts are quite firm
Contra
- The temperature setting is not necessary
A hot machine
A really hot machine, in the true sense of the word!
In the first tests, the yogurts with different milk and different yogurt cultures, which worked with the old machine, always separated. Looked as if the milk had curdled and also the taste was reminiscent of kefir and curdled milk. The only ones who did not lose their appetite were our dogs.
Therefore, I have now measured the temperature of the "yogurts" and also put a thermometer in the machine. Result: It is between 3 and 5°C too hot. No wonder the cultures die and the milk curdles instead of fermenting. Now I just have to figure out what temperature to set so that it actually gets as warm as I imagine.
Unfortunately, it looks like it heats up about 3°C warmer at 38°C and gets about 5°C warmer at 42°C, or warmer and warmer as it runs longer, rather than being a fixed value above the set point (would have been too easy too).Pro
- Makes milk sterile
- Time adjustable
- Temperature supposedly also adjustable
- Can possibly be used as a steamer
- Looks prettier in person than in the photos
- Jars have a large volume (180 ml)
Contra
- Gets so hot that it kills the yogurt cultures
- Temperature cannot be adjusted precisely
- Replacement jars are similar but not identical to the included jars
- The cord is awkwardly short
