 A Great Starter & Easy to Use May 10, 2007

I've had the Euro Cuisine Yogurt Maker for well over a year now, but I'm just now trying out the starter the Euro Cuisine company offers. While a little more expensive to use than six ounces of plain yogurt, it is easier to use. As a bonus, this starter requires no refrigeration, so can sit around for awhile before use. This is especially handy if you plan to use this starter as your back up starter, rather than as your primary starter. The product comes with enough starter to make two batches.
Use of this starter involves the boil method of yogurt preparation. I've been using the boil method already, so this was an easy transition for me. I discovered that the boiling point is lower with this starter than with a plain yogurt starter and you don't have to cool the boiled milk down as far. As a result, the prep time is shorter than when using plain yogurt. The incubation period seems to be about the same.
My first batch was perfect. The yogurt is just a bit tarter than when made with a plain yogurt starter, but still quite good. If you mix your finished yogurt with a little fresh fruit or a touch of fruit spread, the tartness isn't as noticable, but it depends on your preference.
I love making and eating homemade yogurt. The Euro Cuisine starter is a welcomed addition to my process.

This is a great starter! I tried using plain Dannon for my first batch, and it was nowhere near as good. The Eurocuisine starter makes a nice, smooth consistency, delicious yogurt. Vary percolating time to change the level of tartness. I make mine with 1% milk and add a touch of honey. Store bought tastes like artificial flavored pudding to me now.
This is the only starter to use! January 24, 2008

I tried this with 2% milk, 1% milk, fat free, and lastly with goats milk I bought by the quart at Walmart, it is the richest most delicious yogurt ever (my husband is the one I make it for) I add a lg teaspoon of honey, mix it up and there is nothing better, the tartness blends with the sweet. I let the machine work for 8 hours and it is custard like. Excellent

Acidophilus makes yogurt a bit more tart than starter without it. This starter makes a nice creamy yogurt that's not too tart. It's the only starter I use now. I make yogurt several times a week.
