Euro Cuisine YM260 Yogurt Maker, 2-Quart



Very expensive for what it does, but it does it well
There's not a whole lot to this device. Its primary function is to maintain a constant temperature for an extended period of time, which is not such a tremendous feat of engineering that it requires the price tag attached to this thing, but it does it effectively which is enough to keep me satisfied.

Pros:
1) It performs its primary function well.
2) Large capacity.
3) Incubation vessel functions well as storage.
4) Included extras (thermometer and cheesecloth bag) provide pretty much everything you need to make great yogurt just the way you like it

Cons:
1) Cheap plastic incubator/storage. Would have preferred glass, even if it added $10 to the price.
2) "Timer" isn't a timer, it's just a reminder: If you point it to 8, that means you're supposed to unplug the machine at 8 O'Clock, not that the incubation stops after 8 hours. Only marginally useful, and was added to make it seem like there was another feature without having to...

Easy to Use
The product description says, "Timer on the side of the unit marks time as to when yogurt will be finished cooking." That can be misleading; there is no automatic timer that makes a signal or shuts off when the desired cook time has been reached. Besides that, the machine is easy to use and makes really good yogurt.

Euro Cuisine 2 Qt Yogurt Maker
This works beautifully! Thanks to the large 2-quart capacity, now I can make enough yogurt to last a week and avoid using all of those store-bought plastic yogurt containers. Note: The recipe provided by Euro-Cuisine is not as good as the one from Diet for a Small Planet, which--doubled for the 2qt capacity--makes a delicious yogurt with a much thicker consistency.
