Should I Buy a Yogurt Maker?
Q: I love yogurt and eat it almost every day for an afternoon snack, and I cook with it often as well. I usually buy the large 4-cup containers of Stonyfield low-fat or Trader Joe’s European Style plain yogurt. But I have been thinking of getting a yogurt maker.
I have a small kitchen and generally oppose unitasking appliances, so I was hoping to hear from those who have yogurt makers — do you use it regularly, or does it now collect dust? Do you like the quality of the yogurt you can produce? Is there anything else you can do with it besides make yogurt? Is it worth the space and do you think you save money in the long run?
