Question 1

Can I use my own glass containers?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Claris. Yes, you can. I use these 7-cup round Pyrex container bowls with rubber lids ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MW2BIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). One of these fits perfectly without the lid (which you don't use inside the machine) inside this yogurt maker. I like Greek-style yogurt, so after I process it for 10 hours, I turn it into this EuroCuisine Greek yogurt strainer ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and put it into the 'fridge for about 25 hours. I use the same (washed & dried) Pyrex glass container to store the strained thick yogurt in (with it's red rubber lid) in my 'fridge. Since I use a lot of yogurt and also make cheeses (large extended family), I make two batches  of the yogurt per day 5-6 days per week. I generally make my batches around 10:30am and 10:30pm. And if my aged cheeses and smoked cheeses all end up as well as the first ones have (just started yogurt- and cheese-making 2 months ago, so I'm awaiting some of the aged cheeses to age & ripen), I'm going to buy at least one other of these EuroCusine yogurt makers. I already bought a second strainer and more Pyrex bowls. I feed my husband and me, my three adult step-children, four grandchildren, and hubby's two ex-wives, two ex-sisters-in-law & a brother-in-law, and my own 2 sisters-in-law and 3 brothers-in-law, plus various neighbors, all of the yogurt and cheese we can eat from working this one machine hard. My extended family all live in rural farm country, where I can easily trade my own baked goods and my cooking and - now - my own yogurt and cheese, for fresh cow's, sheep, and goat's milks. So I need to use the one large batch method, not little jars. Pyrex works great. HTH

Question 2

What is the differnce between Eurocuisine YMX650 Yogurt maker and YM100?

Accepted Answer

The YM100 cover is very fragile and breaks easily..i prefer the YMX 650. I have them both as I make 2 qts at a time. It's worth the extra money. I bought the YM  100 based on the previous guys review.

Question 3

Can you make dairy free yogurt with this machine?

Accepted Answer

Wow just got off the phone with Euro Cuisine. They were so helpful! Yes you can do dairy free yogurt! You will need to find a recipe and follow that. If you are using dairy free milk like soy, almond or coconut you are going to have to add sugar. If you need more info just call them they are so helpful.

Question 4

Do you have to heat the milk first before putting it in the yogurt maker or does the maker do it for you?  If it doesn't, do any?

Accepted Answer

I think it tastes better.  Think of the difference between scalded milk and regular milk, much better in tea or coffee, my view.  More 'custardy.'  It also affects texture.  Beyond that, it's suggested to heat the milk because regardless of pasturization, if any bacteria you want got into the milk between buying and making, a good idea.  Someone mentioned microwave.  This is considered a bad idea, doesn't just heats but kills or changes stuff you don't want changed.  Frankly I use a slow cooker with thermometer.  SO easy.  You want good homemade yogurt?  I mean, why are you doing this if you don't want really GOOD yogurt?  It's not THAT expensive from places like Costco.
