An ode to my Salton Yogurt maker:
O dear buddy,
You make the yogurt
Everyday
Everytime
Perfect Thickness
Perfect Consistency
And without any additives
Ok,
Now that the ode is done, let me explain that. Ever since I got the Salton Yogurt maker from Amazon.com for about 15 dollars, my yogurt consumption has gone up. Apart from the little amount of saving that it brings in (2.50-3.00 dollars) every time and apart from the fact that the yogurt I make myself does not have any additives, It is a pleasure to use. There were people complaining about it not having a thermostat and some other fancty features, but for what I need, it is just absolutely perfect and simple. I take a tupperware, microwave the milk to lukewarm, pour it in the container provided, mix a few spoonfuls of existing yogurt and put it in the yogurt maker. I do this in the night before going to sleep and when I wake up, I have perfect yogurt. There are no switches, no thermostats and no settings whatsoever. Just plug it in when you want the yogurt making process to start and take the plug out when it is all done in the morning.
...and before people in India start chuckling that in India we just put the culture in a utensil, mixed with milk and leave it at room temperature, well, here, in Seattle, most of the year, the temperature is under 60degrees farenheit and it is very hard to make yogurt like that.
So, in conclusion, all hail the Salton.
