How does it compare with a fixed-temperature yogurt maker?

The dial spans 75 to 131 degrees F, so you can target specific cultures instead of one preset. Most budget makers run at a single warm setting.

Can I make dairy-free yogurt?

Yes. The maker works with plant milks as well as skim, whole milk and half-and-half. Use a starter suited to non-dairy milk.

What comes in the box?

The yogurt maker, two 1-quart glass containers, a yogurt guide, a recipe book and access to a setup video.

Do I need to buy a starter culture?

Yes. You supply the starter or a spoonful of existing yogurt; the device only controls temperature.

How long does a batch take?

Incubation runs for several hours depending on the milk and culture. Plan to start a batch well ahead of when you want to eat it.

Can it replace probiotic supplements?

It makes cultured yogurt, but it is not a medical treatment. Talk to a doctor about gut conditions rather than relying on the maker.

Our take on the Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker

The Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker is a countertop incubator with adjustable temperature control from 75 to 131 degrees F. It ships with two 1-quart glass jars, so you can culture large batches of milk, half-and-half or plant-based milk at home. The wide temperature range lets you target specific cultures such as L. reuteri, which most fixed-temperature yogurt makers cannot do. It suits people who want to control strains, additives and batch size rather than buy tubs. The trade-off is that you supply the starter culture and do the milk prep yourself, and a batch takes hours of incubation.
