Customer Reviews of Cuisipro Donvier Electronic Yogurt Maker
Customer Rating:  Summary: Pretty Good Comment: I've used it three times now in the past month and I think it's pretty fabulous. PROs: The packaging was pretty when it came, turquoise and white box with french and english on it. They include extra lids which was thoughtful because I ended up needing one later. The cups are a good serving size and not too big or small. The machine itself doesn't take much space. The instruction manual is short, simple and easy to follow (had english and french translations). I didn't even need instructions by the third time making yogurt. The yogurt tastes exactly like the yogurt starter I used. It actually works! CONs: The caps are hard to open, but I find it easy enough by opening the tab area. The first batch you make will not be perfect; but mine wasn't because I used just 2% milk and culture. The second try, using whole milk and Stonyfield Organic Plain Whole Milk Yogurt (as starter), was perfectly delicious. People think that glass is better, but glass breaks too easily and plastic lasts longer. The thermometer included is useless, so I just used a regular kitchen one. The temperature in the maker apparently isn't ideally consistent, but it hasn't affected the quality of the yogurt so far. Definitely a good buy. I haven't used this long enough to judge the long-term worth of this yogurt maker, but I like it so far and will review it again maybe at the end of the year. We'll see if it's still as good then. Customer Rating: Summary: Makes delicious yogurt Comment: This little machine is great and easy to use!! I like it very much; my only wish would be that the plastic tops to the cups were easier to pop off once I am ready to eat the yogurt. Customer Rating:  Summary: No thermostat Comment: This is the only yogurt maker I've ever used, and in the 3 years I've had it, I almost always get great yogurt, but you should know that this is not temperature controlled. That means that in the summer when the temperature in the kitchen is 75 deg F or higher, the middle four cups finish hours ahead of the outer 4 cups. I also once used cold milk instead of heating it up to the proper temperature first. The yogurt took an extra 10 hours that time. I wouldn't be surprised if this is normal for most yogurt makers. Customer Rating: Summary: Almost perfect Comment: I love this yogurt-maker. It's a breeze to use, and the yogurt is wonderful. One complaint: some (not all) of the plastic lids are almost impossible to remove from the jars without using a prying tool. I use an old-fashioned bottle opener. This operation is painful for hands that are showing signs of arthritis. Customer Rating: Summary: YOGURT MAKER Comment: At the beginning I was not happy because as I found out later I WAS NOT following instructions correctly. The yogurt maker is awesome. I had a lot of trouble getting the yogurt to be the consistency I wanted because I was not waiting for the milk to reach the right temperature when adding the starter. You do need to wait till the temperature reaches the window it shows in the thermometer the machine brings. (I am using plain yogurt with active cultures as a starter, 2 tablespoons)...Now I get the perfect consistency . I leave the yogurt for 12 hrs and it comes out great! I am extremely happy with my purchase. I recommend it. More Reviews Make delicious yogurt the easy way with the Donvier electric yogurt maker.

Choosing Appliance -> Non-stick Pans We recommend having at least 1 high quality non-stick saute pan. It makes cooking eggs and delicate items like fish a breeze. It also cuts down on the amount of fat necessary to effectively saute. The best place to buy such pans is from a restaurant supplier. Choosing Appliance -> Ladles Look for ladles that are made of one piece of stainless steel rather than a handle and dome which are spot welded together. With use, spot welded ladles tend to come apart. Buy several differnet sizes. Cuisipro Donvier Electronic Yogurt Maker
