Well...my crockpot made yogurt.
And it did so well, I'll just delegate this task its way anytime there is yogurt making to be done.
I saw a Martha Stewart recipe for making yogurt that looked pretty simple. Except for the part about getting it to a certain temperature...which would require me to pay more attention to the process than I would want to. It's amazing what can "turn me off" when it comes to recipes. Simple things like USING A THERMOMETER. Deal breakers.
I mentioned my thrilling weekend plans (i.e., making yogurt) to one of my co-workers (efficiency is her forte) and she told me that there was a MUCH simpler way to do it and sent me this link.
All I had to do was turn the crockpot on for two hours and then off for three, take off the lid, stir in the "starter," put the lid back on, and wrap the crock pot lovingly with a blanket. And go to bed, which was the easiest part by far. And thirteen hours later, the yogurt was ready to go.

I love making stuff like this... although a lot of times I do only make it once... do you think you'll make the yogurt again?
ReplyDeleteI've made it three times so far but we are taking a break because my husband is "over" yogurt for a bit (he has phases). I'm pretty sure I'll pick this back up the second he says "go."

ReplyDeleteIt's so true. I can go from being gung-ho about trying out a new recipe to take out over something like that.
DeleteI'm doing this. This week.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should issue some kind of guarantee...."If you're not satisfied with this product, I'll refund the time it took you to read and comment on this post."
