5.0 out of 5 stars Great little yogurt maker, November 25, 2007

This is a great little yogurt maker. With it, I make a batch of yogurt a couple of times per week. The individual jars are the right size for a single serving. Incidentally, baby food jars, the 6 ounce glass ones, also fit this yogurt maker perfectly and can be used to replace any jars that break, or as extras if you want to make multiple batches. My only criticism is that the jars the yogurt maker comes with have a ridge inside their base, making them a little difficult to clean. This can be overcome if you clean them immediately after use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good For The Price, March 21, 2008

This review is from: Deni 5600 1-Quart Electric Yogurt Maker (Kitchen)

The Deni 5600 Yogurt Maker is a good product, especially considering the price. I have found yogurt recipes on the Web that work great in it, but don't count on the booklet that comes with it. Using 1/2 cup of natural Greek yogurt as a starter, 1 1/2 cups of 1% milk, and 1/2 cup of dry milk, I get good yogurt in 10 hours. (There are instructions that go with these ingredients that are too long to list here.) It's still slightly thinner than I like, so I'm going to try using 2% milk next time.

The big drawback I've found, which I initially thought would be a plus, is the six 6-oz. jars. I didn't know this, but you don't add flavoring until the yogurt is fully incubated, so having separate containers is no particular advantage. In fact, it's less convenient, since I still empty the yogurt into a small bowl before eating it, and that's when I mix in any fruit or flavoring I want. Consequently, the next yogurt maker I buy will be one with a large, 1-qt. container rather than the small individual ones.

3.0 out of 5 stars good starter, February 5, 2008

It took a couple of attempts, but once you get the hang of, it is easy to use. The alarm is pretty piercing and I am not sure it automatically turns off the maker; so unless you want to wake up to the incessant alarm or otherwise leave it unattended, time accordingly. The irregular shape really only holds the glass jars that come with the maker. I have been able to squeeze some other larger jars in the maker, but the odd shape prevents you from using most other jars. Like other reviewers said, the accompanying jars have tops that don't really stay on and the shape of the jars isn't the easiest to clean.
