The wife and I are partial to a nice dollop of plain yogurt, the thicker the better. That way we can pretend we're breakfasting on a harbour-side in Greece, drizzling honey over it - the yogurt, not the harbour! We'd been aware of the Easi Yo system, originating in New Zealand, for quite a while thanks to a couple of strategically-placed Lakeland Shops, one in Windsor and the other in Kingston. One day whilst browsing shops in Hereford, we wandered into their Lakeland store and bought our 'starter kit' for about £15 I seem to recall. We also bought the set of extra jars (and two yogurt pots) for around £6.99 In the starter set ...  Read the complete review

I have had this EasiYo Yoghurt maker for a while now. The real reason behind my purchase is that in our family we go through a whole mountain of yoghurts per week. Have you noticed that the ones that are better for you, with the live cultures Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus, and pre and pro biotics are always the most expensive? They may be the best choice for your family, but if cost is a factor, they may not be the best choice for your pocket. Now enters the EasiYo. I could go into the whole history, about how it was invented by someone, in their garden shed, in the beautiful country of New Zealand, but that would be boring. If you are interested, ...  Read the complete review

I have a slight obsession with kitchen gadgets, so much so that I even briefly considered extending my kitchen simply for the space to keep them out without cluttering up my sideboards! Luckily my sensible side took over and I just keep a lot of them hidden away in cupboards. One gadget that I am happy to display is my Easiyo Yogurt maker. It's quite pretty compared to a lot of my other 'makers', it also doesn't take up much space so it's always on display in the corner of my kitchen. I can't find my tape measure but it is the size and shape of one of those three litre bottles of Coke you can buy (without the lid!). The Easiyo Yogurt ...  Read the complete review

The Easiyo yoghurt maker originates from New Zealand and was created by a man called Len Light in 1982 who wanted to find an easy way of making fresh yoghurt as he knew how good it was for his family. This was a hit in New Zealand and apparently nearly every household there now has one, it was exported to 20 different counties and they started to arrive in the UK about 5 years ago. To be good for your health and immune system yogurt must contain sufficient numbers of 'live and active lactic cultures and the fresher the yogurt, the higher the population of these. Scientific studies show that besides providing calcium and protein, yogurt consumption can help ...  Read the complete review

After going to our local garden centre and seeing the easiyo starter kits we thought we would have a look on the internet to see if there were any bargains. After finding the kit on Lakeland we bought the Yogurt maker and a pack of 6 Bio-Natural Mix yogurts. My mum use to have a yogurt maker when I was younger which had 6 little cups that you put in a unit and the cups got warm, but it never made yogurt it just turned out like thick milk so we were a bit sceptical about this maker, however it has been briliant. So far we have gone through 5 of the 6 packets and have been impressed by each one, we always keep 4 tablespoons worth at the end so we can ...  Read the complete review
