How to make Greek yoghurt with Lakeland Multi Yoghurt Maker

[@stevenharness2283]

I have used this yogurt maker for three years now and the greek yogurt is a staple food for me. I use longlife milk straight from the carton as this cuts out the need to heat and then cool down fresh milk. The same for the cheese which I don't make often but is a pleasant addition occasionally. I haven't tried the freezing method for the next batch, but I will now. Many thanks for the tips.

Lost my booklet so thank you for your very clear instructions. Glad I found you.

[@juddery]

Very helpful thank you. I bought this maker almost 2 years ago and haven't even taken it out of the box yet. A fact that I'm really wanting to change. Such a soothing voice and way of speaking you have there. I'm feeling sooo peaceful and serene after watching this. :-)

[@syedarsalanejaz]

What a wonderful demonstration of yogurt making. Very patient with the whole process and soothing voice.

[@dottiette5344]

Thank you for this great tutorial. I’m pretty hopeless when it comes to following instructions from the leaflet. A great help. Thank you.

[@Seerwealth]

What lovely instruction, delighted to learn from it. Appreciated your mannerism. So nice.

[@Cavalier_Steve]

Really well presented video, I’m going to make my own yogurt this weekend, I didn’t know that you could freeze the yogurt and use the culture afterwards that’s brilliant and I will have to do that. Thanks again for a lovely video. Steve.

Hi Paukine, I have just purchased the Lakeland yoghurt maker and found your review very helpful. I will have to purchase a thermometer, which I had not realised I would need until I saw your review.

[@momoquilter]

Excellent demonstration, will definitely buy one now.

[@laus83lg]

Brilliant, I just got this for Christmas. Can't wait to get started.

[@journeyman6752]

Great info about the time and temp!

[@SugarCone]

This was absolutely brilliant - I have been wanting to make my own yogurt and was absolutely stumped by the choice of makers and also a bit scared of how complicated it can be, You have demystified the process as well as confirmed my decision about the Lakeland machine. Thank you very much! Nikki - Oxfordshire

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Thank you I’m glad you found it useful.

[@nanachikagu]

Thanks for the clear instruction. It works well for me!

[@Sm-iw2vh]

What a fantastic product and great review, would love to see the outcome of the cheese made, very interesting.

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Thanks, the cheese making video will be uploaded soon keep tuned.

[@mobime6682]

nicely explained, thanks. I have this yogurt maker but have lost the instructions!

[@nota8386]

Excellent , clear instructions...thanks.

[@amberc1272]

I got this today...thanks for great info and review....keep up the good work ..i understand better because you used it..

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Thanks, glad you like the video

[@RonsonDalby]

For Aussies, this is sold under the brand name Davis & Waddell.

[@annadelamere342]

Thankyou. That's good to know 😊

[@hudsonrilke]

Great video. Long life milk works without having to boil the milk.

[@beaulieuonnp593]

I have made this yoghurt the first time it was a bit runny, so I just added more natural yoghurt and heated it up for longer. It worked very well the second time. It can get lumpy, so either stir it very well (add whey if required) or just an electric kitchen whisk. My yoghurt tastes a bit like Icelandic Skyr more cheesey and doesn't have a tang. I had enough small dishes for at least 4 people. Apparently you can use expired milk to make yoghurt too, say up to 2 weeks old or so until it stinks. I love the fact that I can forget about it and do my housework once I put it in the machine. This was an excellent video. I have Progress Yoghurt and Cheesemaker and it is very similar to this Lakeland one. I don't understand the point of the temperatures at all, does that mean it is more thick or what if you heat it more?

[@albaalba4437]

Did you not put water in the vessel before putting the blue container? Ive seen other videos that they are putting water. Thank you!

[@GreyAngel786]

Thank you so much for your video! Very informative 😀

[@CharlotteMinns-camacho]

Got this as a present from someone. Don't like yogurt or cheese. Was wondering if you could make icecream or sobert with it?

[@marijkegroothuis3814]

I use the Aussie version of this yoghurt maker and instead of using yoghurt as a starter for the new batch, I just use the whey from the last batch. Just as good and less wasteful.

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

That's really useful information thanks, its good to be able to use the whey which would normally get thrown away.

[@blancafernandez4621]

Hello! What's kid of your did you used? I try get from supermarket but after second batch is not working.

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

I used natural yoghurt.

[@kainaat8242]

How do u keep some of it for the next batch and how long can u store it I mean do u store it in the fridge or freezer

[@Jaques2go]

I e followed the instructions to the letter for greek yoghurt using the best live yoghurt, dull cream milk, measured it all out, after 8 hrs on C1 it was still liquid, so I out it on for another 8 hrs and it was exactly the same.. xouldnanyone please tell me what I did wrong. The only thing I didn't do is use a thermometer. I guessed the temperature...I've done it before using the method of just putting it in the oven overnight with the light on and it was perfect? 😢

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

All I can think of is the milk was too warm or too cold and it killed the culture.

[@annadelamere342]

Does pasteurised milk need to be brought up to the boil?

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

No it doesn’t.

[@altitude1039]

Interesting. . . Thank you for sharing. I've been making my own yogurt for decades, using a 5 litre pot and a heating pad, and was curious about these appliances.

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Glad you like it.

[@Maria-xk6zw]

Thank you for the video explaining 😄 My only question is as I see in any other yogurt makers they put water before container, is this one the same? Thank you

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

There’s no need to put water in.

[@Maria-xk6zw]

Thank you for your quick reply!!! 🥰

[@ghazalar9407]

Thank you very helpful and clear demonstration

[@UnusualElan]

interesting, it doesn't look like it produces much greek yogurt, glad i've seen this and and my Friends eat a lot of it. thanks

[@annieh6021]

Thanks for a clear and detailed explanation of how to use this machine. Also, are you from the East Midlands, by any chance?? Your accent sounds just like ours.🤭

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Yes well spotted Nottinghamshire.

[@annieh6021]

Thought so, me duck!

[@Dazzler37]

I've just got a Von Chef (eBay auction) yogurt maker which looks very similar and has the same containers and strainer. The problem for me is that the machine only heats at the base and I find that I can't get a uniform heat throughout the milk. The bottom half is warm, the top half is cold. I took the temperature and it doesn't get above 40 C too. Do you happen to know (or remember) if the Lakeland maker has heating coils that go up along the sides of the container? Giving even heating from bottom to top? I know this was three years ago now, but I thought I'd ask before I ditched the Von Chef for a Lakeland machine 🙂

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Not sure where the heating coil is situated but I’ve never had a problem with cold milk.

[@Dazzler37]

Thanks for letting me know about milk, that's good to know. I know where the heating coils are in the Von Chef machine because I can feel where they are using my hand when the maker has been on for a little while. The heat can be felt inside at the bottom, but not inside up the sides

[@georgiageorgi436]

Thank you so much 😊

[@peteandrews271]

Does it taste like greek?

[@hopefullyitworks5894]

many thanks!

[@wendyshepherd3719]

I've just got this from a charity shop ! Your instructions are so clear .just one question when and how do you flavour a yoghurt

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

The instructions say to add flavouring after the yoghurt is made, just stir it in.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

Charity shop???? Sounds like someone dumped it cos they did not like it, or thought it was useless!

[@beaulieuonnp593]

@@treasurehunteruk9718 I like mine

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

@@beaulieuonnp593 I really liked the idea of making my own, but I don't think it is cheaper. Plain yoghurt is so cheap and the milk alone would come to the same price.

[@axathens1691]

The liquid is full of proteins so it is better to mix it from the beginning . Not to dry it. This what you did we say in Greece "strained yogurt" and you we separate by this way from the proteins, and become to cheese. (strained yogurt is become to cheese) The reason you see the liquid is because you boiled the milk before. If you don't boil the milk you don't see the liquid and the yogurt is better, and full of proteins.

[@dsvlogs3024]

Really nice.

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Thank you.

[@clairephillips7275]

Can you use almond milk or soya milk x

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

I did it with Alpro Soya Milk (unsweetened) and it worked fine, you don’t need to boil milk, use at room temperature. Not tried almond milk but have heard others do and it comes out ok.

[@clairephillips7275]

I tried making the cheese with uht milk didn’t heat it up and it came out so runny I had to throw it away

[@beaulieuonnp593]

Yes, it will just take longer, it says so in the instructions

[@eileenfb1948]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@marylandsmann1175]

Thank you

[@petergardiner7071]

Does this work for soya milk? Barbara x

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Yes it does.

[@janallen1243]

Excellent explanation

[@juliacox3119]

The instructions say chill for 3 hours before straining and then strain in fridge for 6. So now I’m really confused and will have to experiment!

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

My method seemed to work fine, not sure what the point of chilling for 3 hours is but will try it and see if it makes a difference.

[@juliakathleencox]

@@ProductReviewsHelp Having tried it I agree. I've found that you need to monitor it as you may not need it so thick. Just a few minutes seems to be long enough.

[@davidfarrar2454]

When making the next batch, do you save 100ml or 100g ? For the starter you said 100ml, for the next batch you said 100g

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

100ml but 100g is more or less the same anyway.

[@markusackermann4668]

I’ve bought this yoghurt maker and it overshoots the target temperature significantly! I have tried it several times and checked the temperature of the milk/yoghurt many times during the process. The set temperature I use is 37C and the measured temp went as high as 54C! That’s unacceptable especially for more sensitive bacteria strains!

[@AlfieTheProducer]

Very good video

[@tonydeepuk]

i use 50ml of store yoghurt per 1litre of milk instead of 100ml & it turns out perfect,.

[@MrTcp01]

Great video thanks

[@freman75]

Are you satisfied with this yogurt machine?

[@ProductReviewsHelp]

Yes we are.

[@Fendermanpaul]

You're not supposed to boil the milk, only simmer. And it's Kefir.....not keefer 😅
