Yoghurt maker Smile YM 3012 adapted for life

Since our multicooker leaves for the summer cottage and I am left at home a complete orphan with no yogurt at all, I had to think about a separate toy.
At the same time I wanted
1. with jars only.
2. money also for this almost do not spend.
3.if also this - something as small as possible
4. and that at least some guarantee that it will work as it should (in the form of reviews).


Actually, I started by looking for jars in a multicooker. I really do not like how the yogurt poured from the bowl breaks.
And I just don't like mayonnaise cans ...
And I discovered at first that the cheapest set costs more than 300 rubles, and more often - 500-600 rubles. At the same time, a glass equal in quality and volume (but, alas, not in shape) costs 15 rubles to these jars. As a result, when I came across a yogurt maker Smile YM 3012 with 4 glass jars for 500 rubles in the Yandex market, and so small (19.5 cm in diameter and 13 cm in height), I decided that another device with jars is better than just jars for the same money.
Unlike the Smiley Bucket, this one does not have a timer. But I didn't need the bucket. There were a lot of reviews in online stores where this thing was sold.

True, a little later in Auchan I saw under their "green" brand for 700 or 800 rubles. device with 7 jars. But it also does not have a timer, is larger and, most importantly, no feedback on the work. And so there were no competitors in terms of parameters and price-quality ratio.

In general, I bought this box with bubbles.


It heats up normally for yogurt, but since the plastic is thin, the bottom overheats a little. The instructions, as is customary among the Chinese, contain nonsense. :)
But since the experience of making yogurt was already there, everything turned out to be easy to fix.
1. To the bottom I cut a thick fleecy "miracle rag" from those that are sold in rolls or separate "household napkins" in the shape of recesses. First, in 2 layers, then I added 2 more, four in total. The bottom stopped curdling.

2. in a couple of months for 171 rubles. in Ashan bought a mechanical daily timer, German-Chinese. Now everything turns off by itself in the morning.


Yogurt has adapted to make according to this recipe https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=289092.0

So for a small family or an individual amateur, a very good compact option. You can use it around the clock, the box consumes 10 or 15W.

Tell me who can! Available: Smiley yogurt maker for 4 jars. I have always made excellent yogurt in it (milk + bioyogurt lakomo + 10% cream). Recently I bought some kind of bad milk, not sour, but in flakes. 2.5 percent I poured it into a plastic container, put it on the window, thought it would turn sour, so I'll make cakes. I don’t remember how long it lasted, maybe a day. And then I took it and mixed it with an incomplete jar of my homemade yogurt and put it in a yogurt maker overnight. In the morning I saw that it had stratified - at the bottom of the serum, at the top it was dense. I made cakes from 3 jars, mixing everything (it seemed to me that this is a dense type of yogurt). And one jar survived in the refrigerator, I drained the liquid and saw that it was curd! So the question is: how can I repeat this? Everywhere I read that for cottage cheese in a yogurt maker you need to buy special leavens. Since everything was done in a bustle and at random, I'm not even sure how much of what and where I did. If I take a second box of that bad milk - bought two at a sale - and mix it with yogurt again, do you think it will make a curd? Keeping it warm in front of the yogurt maker, as it stood, or not?

How strange that you have to farm with this emoticon. I did not do anything with it, no rags, I have been using it for the third year. I prepare thick low-fat yogurt and use it instead of sour cream.Approximately according to the following recipe: bioyogurt lakomo sourdough - 1 bath (instead of it I used to take the Brest-Lithuanian one, but there is too much of it, I have no time to use it) + milk 2.5 or 3.2 - unheated, straight from the refrigerator + 1 small box of cream 10 percent And I put it at night, hours at 10-11-12, there were no misfires.

I also use it without complications. I cook very often. I use yogurt starter culture and put it overnight. One minus, small volume. I bought a budget option for trial, I have already worked out my money by 500%.

I even get a little too much, only I eat, the child does not want to. Either as sour cream in a soup, or as a dessert - mix with frozen cherries, it's very tasty! The last time I did it without cream, from milk, 1.5 + a couple of tablespoons of powdered milk, cheap and cheerful.
