I love making my own yogurt. It is much healthier and cheaper. My favorite recipe costs $0.34 a serving (lots of super healthy additives for my son), but you can make “plain” yogurt for $0.14 a serving.

Although, it is so much easier with my maker – I haven’t had a single ruined batch (I had 2 when I was doing it with the stockpot). For me, this is one of those things that is worth the “start up” cost – and it saves a lot of money (and is better for your health) in the long run 🙂

I have the Salton Yougurt Maker. It works great!
on my way to buy it. I didn’t even know they made those
we recently bough a breadmaker (SunBeam at Walmart). Great investment. I don’t like to buy bread which has 50 ingredients in it, so it makes me feel very good that I know what I am eating. Much healthier AND cheaper!
Confession time. I didn’t even know there were yogurt makers. I am on my 6th or 7th bread machine but have never made yogurt. This is a great tip.
I make yogurt all the time and use a heating pad and a canning jar. I’ve never owned a maker and never had a failed batch! And my kids love homemade yogurt, especially when I combine it with a little of my homemade jam! 🙂
I need to use my breadmaker more often – I love it (and the smell), but I am out of the habit.
A heating pad sounds like it would work well. I used my stockpot and rice packs before I got my maker. I did have to watch the temp though so I love that you don’t have to do that with a maker 🙂
