We eat a lot of yogurt, so this summer I tried making it. I tried the crockpot wrapped in a towel, and big pot in the oven and determined that it works best for me to heat the milk in the microwave and then put it in my big crockpot. I use a Pampered Chef thermometer that has the probe attached to a cord so it can stay in the pot the whole time and I can monitor the temp easily. I watched the video when I was getting used to it, and now I just use the cheat sheet to remind me. The links to both are below. We did discover that while we appreciate the economy of making yogurt, we do not care for plain yogurt at all...so we've been using the yogurt and the whey in place of buttermilk in pancakes and waffles. It's fabulous and since I make the yogurt from skim milk it's much lower fat. I can eat pancakes and waffles without guilt. And the links to our favorite recipes for those are below as well.
