Why should you buy a Yogurt Maker? As I have written above us Indians are huge yogurt users. Every day we eat yogurt in one form or the other. Majority of times we pick yogurt from the local shops or departmental stores selling packaged ones. Sometimes we attempt to make it at home in the traditional way by adding some sour yogurt in lukewarm milk and then keeping it undisturbed in a warm place for 4-5 hours in very hot weather and 7-8 hours in cold weather. But whenever I use to make curd that way I have not seen it set like those packaged ones. Though making plain yogurt was not much a problem that way, I have had no luck making flavored yogurt the traditional way and used to spend a lot of money outside buying them as I am fond of mango and other fruit flavors especially. But ever since I have bought an electric yogurt maker I am able to make perfect yogurt at home.

For making perfect Yogurt, milk has to be fermented at 110 degrees for about 8 hours. This temperature is required for the bacteria to convert milk into yogurt. This is where a kitchen appliance like Yogurt Maker can help. In the Yogurt Maker a perfect environment needed for the live bacterial cultures to do their work is created helping to make perfect yogurt. Also when you make curd at home you can ensure that it is hygienic. Normally the packaged ones also use preservatives. I use Salton YM7 model which has seven 6 ounce glass jars for fermentation. These individual jars make it more convenient storage wise and also enables me to make more than one variety or flavor of yogurt in each batch. My sister in law uses YM100 from Euro Cuisine and a friend of mine uses EasiYo and none of us have any complaints so far because of which I have no problem suggesting these products for purchase. In fact the EasiYo model used by my friend requires no electricity during fermentation and boiling water is used instead.

In short, With the Yogurt maker we can make nutritious, fresh and tasty curd at home. When I feel like having a dessert all I need to do is flavor the yogurt with chopped up fruits like strawberries, bananas, peaches, apricots or mangoes and top it up with a little honey or syrup to make a healthy low fat dessert. For a healthy and filling drink I make yogurt smoothies or shakes in different flavors. Apart from this, as a health conscious individual raita is part of our daily menu where chopped raw vegetables like cucumber, onion, tomatoes, carrot etc are mixed with curd. In Indian cooking yogurt is widely used and there are a lot of dishes I use curd for. The given benefits and applications above are only a few and there is more to yogurt. Yogurt is widely used in beauty treatments too. So how about going the yogurt way by buying a Yogurt Maker to make perfect yogurt at home?
