I saw a Dash yogurt maker on HSN and then googled it on Amazon. Does anyone have any brand of yogurt maker? Pros/cons? TIA!

Many people make yogurt in their Instant Pot pressure cooker. Just make sure the model says it makes yogurt. I need to try making it in mine.

Yogurt in the instant pot is so easy and delicious. I'm eating some now.

ITA.

Dash is in the $30+ range.

I would spend an additional $30 for an Instant Pot which

can do so much more....than a one-trick pony yogurt maker.

I make yogurt in a crockpot. It’s super easy.

I have a Salton Brand if you can find an older one they are really nice. I use to make yogurt every week , sometimes twice a week when my kids still lived with me .They grew up and I made it for a while for just me. I need to get back to it. Mine you would make it like you make sour dough bread, you make it and save some for a starter for a new BATCH. I WOULD PURCHASE SOME PLAIN VANILLA YOGURT, AND MAKE A BATCH WITH THAT FIRST.

I would rather make individual small jars. Did you find jars, or do you just make it in the instant pot bowl.?

@kaydee50 I have the Dash Greek yogurt maker and I LOVE it! It is easy to use, doesn't take up a lot of space, and comes with the strainer to make Greek style yogurt.

I like it a lot! I have had it for at least 3 years and it is light, easy to clean, and makes good yogurt.

@kaydee50 I just looked at the one on hsn... I'd get the one on amazon with the strainer I think because it's nice to have thicker yogurt if you want it.

I make yogurt in my instant pot--but have the one OP mentioned that worked fine too. Have made cows milk and soymilk yogurt---I usually just go for plain and the add my goodies to it. I think you have to heat the milk for the yogurt maker---not sure tho, its been awhile since I used it--but in the instant pot, you don't. I used some acidopholous caps for the soymilk to thicken and then just some store bought yogurt in the reg kind. You need a culture to add to it.

I use my Instant Pot. It makes great yogurt, but get yourself a large strainer to fit a several quarts of yogurt. I strain my overnight with several layers of find cheesecloth or unbleached muslin so it is nice and thick. I chop berries and very lightly sugar them with a few teaspoon of it to get them to release their juices or make a compote then cool to put into the containers with the yogurt. I spoon some yogurt and layer the berries. I use the small ziploc (or like) bowls as it is a great serving size to allow for extra granola to be put on once you are ready to eat it. Quite the meal size for me.
