This yogurt maker comes with 4 , 5 ounce jars. These too worked out great for me. I make different kinds of yogurt now everyday in these jars. yogurt with whole milk for my kids and yogurt with fat free milk for myself and husband. I also purchased on big bowl from walmart that fits perfectly into this yogurt maker...for days when I need more yogurt when we have ppl over and stuff...and it makes more than 1/2 litre of yogurt......
I usually let the milk sit in the maker for 6 hours to make sweet/non-sour perfect yogurt for daily consumption. But when i need sour yogurt for some dish ( like rava idli) and stuff I let it sit for 8 -10hrs and it works out great.
It consumes very less power, this device comsumes only 11 watts and so haven't seen any noticeable difference in my electric bill too..

this maker makes good yogurt. and the design is compact and looks good. it doesn't take much space at all while sitting on the counter. and the BPA free glass jars even make this model more awesome!i would definitely recommend this yogurt maker to singles or small family who don't actually require big amount of yogurt daily/weekly.

Makes good yogurt...now. On first try I used Trader Joe's 2% milk and Greek Gods plain yogurt as starter, used the amount suggested in the instructions, 1/2 cup i think. I heated the milk & cooled down beforehand, left in for 8 hours. Result was runny & inconsistent setting, inedible and too sour. Second try I used Strauss Family 2% milk and two generous tablespoons of Fage plain, heated/cooled milk beforehand, plus put a paper towel in the machine, under the jars. (I suspect the floor of the machine gets too hot for cultures to survive, don't need too much starter). Result was perfect yogurt after 8 hours, thick & creamy even without straining. Very happy esp since Amazon price was only $18 for new.Honest reviews on Baby Chef Artisan Yogurt Maker
I chose this one since it was the perfect size for me since I'm single. The instructions say to use 1/2 c plain yogurt or starter, 4 cups of milk, and 1/4c to 1/2 c instant non fat dry milk powder. I didn't do that. First off, the 4 cups of milk is way too much and will not fit in the glass containers.I used 3 cups of organic, ultra pasteurized(UHT) milk and about 1 1/2 Tbsp of Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt. If you use UHT milk you don't have to parboil. I wasn't thrilled about using nonfat dry milk so I left that out. Came out perfect for my tastes. I pulled out two at about 7 hours and the other 2 after about 15 hours. I didn't notice a huge difference in tartness but the consistency for the ones that stayed in longer was a tiny bit thicker. I mostly use yogurt for smoothies so I don't need it to be very thick. The consistency reminds me of yogurt you can get in Europe or Asia. Next time I may try using a full fat, organic Greek yogurt as a starter and see how it comes out. I also saw a recipe that uses 2 c milk and only 2 tsps of yogurt as a starter. I just got this yesterday so I'm still in the testing stages but I totally love it so far and would recommend this to anyone!
