My 'Easi Yo' yoghurt maker arrived in the post last week, and boy, is it worth it! There was an initial extreme disappointment when I thought I would have to buy their sachets which actually cost more than buying it from the shops, but this was soon usurped with some swift googling and I found that you can make yoghurt using more conventional (and cheap) methods with the Easi Yo. (Loving the name, by the way!).
So once a week I buy some UHT milk, put this, some natural yoghurt and some milk powder (they sell it in our little Sainsburys down the road, strike!), mix it up and leave it in the Easi Yo (tee hee) flask with boiling water over night and hey presto, I have 1 litre of yoghurt the next day. I reckon so far I have saved us at least 4 plastic tubs, and as the bean loves this type of yoghurt too, any number of petit filous have not been used either. Love it. The only bit of rubbish is the UHT carton which can be recycled - less landfill, more land :-)
I recommend it! Get buying it. It is seriously almost NO work at all.
I also got a little recipe book in my pack, so I tried out some muffins, made with yoghurt. As an old friend of mine would say Oh. My. Life. - they are literally the best I have ever tasted! I've also been having yoghurt with my breakfast, thus saving on milk. Just so brilliant. Have I gushed enough?!
If you eat more than a bit of yoghurt each week, it is sooooo worth the purchase. Enjoy!!
I'm still doing battle with slightly stringy results! Which starter are you using, as that's about all I can think of altering? Thanks! (Ah, this is Kate with suitably cheesy username)
