Sylvia, I would think that it would be okay as a final resting place provided that your resting temperature is not too high (within the required degrees) to kill the live culture.
I use a simple yogurt maker - all it does is keep the final temperature constant. I love mine as it allows me to use mason jars.
Good luck!

I have always done mine in my dehydrator. I have heard people just leaving the light on in their electric oven overnight to incubate yogurt, as well. I think the thermostat setting on my dehydrator says 115 degrees for live cultures. Really doesn't take that much heat.

i have been having good luck putting my yogurt in a big jar and setting it in a cooler with hot tap water. our water heater is set at 120, works well. I set it up in the morning and by the time i get home it is done.

I got the Dash greek yogurt maker for Christmas and will be using it for the first time this week. Mine was recommended on America's Test Kitchen and I hope the results will be as good as they claim on ATK. Good luck with yours and let us know how it comes out.

I am interested in hearing more about this topic. My mom moved out and took her dehydrator before I even had a chance to try it out! I stopped making yogurt because it always came out runny! How did the Instant Pot work out?

The Dash yogurt I made came out perfectly. The set has everything needed to make, strain, and store the yogurt. My Greek yogurt was nice and thick, just the way I like it. I agree with America's Test Kitchen recommendation, it is easy to use.
Have fun and best of luck with your yogurt making everyone!

I make yogurt in my instant pot all the time. I use my jelly jars for the milk and use the yogurt instructions that came with it. It works great and I usually make 4 of them for my weekly supply, and later mix in some strawberry jam for eating. I let the cycle run for 8-9 hours since I like my yogurt thick and a little tangy.

I make yogurt in my Stanley Thermos. I been thinking about the InstaPot, but so far I have resisted. I am not sure we would use it much.

The link isn't there anymore...Here is what I do:
1. Pour 1/2 gallon of milk into a slow cooker
2. Cook on low for 2.5 hours to 180* (I never check...it ALWAYS comes out great)
3. Turn off the slow cooker and let it sit for another 3 hours, keeping the lid on the slow cooker (It cools to 110-115*)
4. Take 2 cups of the milk out and mix with 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I have used vanilla, too)
5. If you are thickening your yogurt, then add 1-2 cups of dried milk to the yogurt mixture now)
6. Combine the mixture with the milk in the slow cooker and whisk until smooth
7. Turn on the light in your oven
8. I wrap a beach towel around the crockpot and insert it into the over. DO NOT TURN ON YOUR OVEN!! The oven light will provide the warmth for your yogurt cultures
9. Leave in the over for 8-12 hours
Remove and add fruit, granola, etc or just eat it plain.
Don't forget to keep 1/2 cup aside from this completed mixture for next time!
I have also used this in recipes that call for yogurt
Hope this works for whomever tries it!
