I got out my old Saltan yogurt maker from the 1970's and am gonna start making my own again. My lids cracked but I don't think you really need them. I was looking at newer yogurt makers and the glass cups seem alot thinner and some reports of them shattering. I am gonna try to see if Saltan has a phone number to get more lids. They must still be in business if they are making newer machines with their names.
Just wondered if anyone out there does their own yogurt? Mine always seems to come out pretty thin but I did find my recipe book and am gonna just start with a basic recipe and go from there.
Don't know about you--but I'm getting tired of eating chemicals in everything so this is one small step to making affordable, chemical free yogurt

Don't need a yogurt maker, the blanket method works just fine!

Rose, I have two Salton makers from the '70's too!! I love them. They make such good yogurt I was missing a few lids and some cups and went on ebay and got mine. Really cheap. I just typed in Salton Yogurt. When I make my yogurt, I add 1/2 cup powdered milk to the regular milk and that makes it a lot creamier. Also, I have started using Stoneyville plain yogurt as my starter. I have tried all the packaged yogurt starters and I just don't like the texture. I like mine thick, thick, thick! Good luck with your new adventure! :-)

I make my yogurt in glass quart canning jars, in a cooler filled with hot water. works great! And I can make several quarts at a time . I have a large family so this works for me great.

I have a new yogurt maker and use the granulated starter for one batch, then a jar for the second. It's thicker than store-bought, but not as thick as some greek. I too, get tired of eating chemicals. We add agave and fresh fruit and have an organic treat. My maker has glass jars that are similar to large baby-food jars. It has plastic lids that screw on after the fact for storage. I bought this maker for the glass jars. It doesn't heat enough to bust, but I can steralize them in a way I'm afraid I can't do with plastic. So far, I've had no problems.
