Making yogurt is not as easy as it seems. You will need some equipment – a double boiler, a candy thermometer, and an incubator to maintain a constant temperature of 108 to 112 degrees F plus a host of other useful equipment that will already be available in your kitchen. The incubator will be the most specialized equipment that you will need. A makeshift incubator may be made from an ice chest pre-lined with aluminum foil, with jars of hot water inside to simulate an oven. An oven may also be used but it will entail a lot of supervision to maintain the temperature. A bit of a hassle, wouldn’t you say?

Making yogurt will not be that bad if you had a Deni yogurt maker. It is the easy way to make homemade yogurt. Simply prepare the ingredients, pour the mixture into the glass jars and set the timer. You will have up to a quart of homemade natural yogurt in no time. A see-thru lid allows you to watch the process, but you don’t have to do that if you didn’t want to because a timer will automatically shut off the machine when it is done. You can try all the different recipes that you can find and enjoy healthy dessert every time.
