Lakeland Bulk Yogurt Maker

Every mother knows the importance of ensuring their children get plenty of calcium, usually in the form of milk. So when you have one that pretty much point blank refuses to drink it, eventually to maintain sanity, anyone would give up and let them eat yoghurts instead. Now from a financial point of view this can get expensive so I finally decided to buy a yoghurt maker and chose one from Lakeland www.lakelandlimited.co.uk. This cost me £19.95 and as I like Lakeland items I spent over £45 so the postage was free. Under this amount it would have been £3.35. Having read some reviews I knew that I would need some natural yoghurt and milk to make it ...  Read the complete review

It crept up on us gradually. First we discovered that yoghurt is a pleasing alternative to cream or custard with puddings. Then we found that if you add some cumin it makes a good savoury topping for a jacket potato. A spoonful a day even seems to control a digestive problem suffered by one of our dogs. I found that I was buying more and more yoghurt. I was using two or three 500gr pots of yoghurt each week at a cost of £1 to £1.40 per pot. Sometimes I would find that I ran out before the weekly shop so I decided that it would be simpler if I made the yoghurt myself. It isn't difficult to make as it's only sterilised milk plus some existing ...  Read the complete review

Is the Lakeland Bulk Yoghurt Maker. Gosh, how exciting. You get an outer unit – base with power unit and domed lid - that does the making of the yoghurt. You get an inner unit – bowl and domed lid - that does the holding of the yoghurt. You get a rather useless spoon thing. It is all very easy really, the Lakeland Bulk Yoghurt Maker. You take a pint and a half of milk, a tablespoon of yoghurt and you mix it together in the inner bowl. You put the inner unit into the outer unit. You plug in the outer unit. You look at the fiddly ticker thingy on the top and decide not to bother with it. You wish it were a proper timer or not there at all. You go away for ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these to see if I could reduce my food bills by making yogurt at home and boy, is it working! I debated between this one and an Easiyo, but decided on this as I don't need to buy sachets - I can just use milk and yogurt straight from the supermarket. I find it really easy to use and can get everything mixed up in about 5 minutes. The yogurt maker itself consists of an plastic inner container with a lid and an outer container with a lid. You put a teaspoon of yogurt into the inner container, add 900ml milk and 2 tbsps evaporated milk powder and pop it in the outer container and wait for 8 hours and voila - yogurt. You can then add flavourings ...  Read the complete review

Oh how I miss yoghurt! Being dairy allergic is certainly a pain. I do like Alpro yoghurt, but the cost in relation to the dairy counterparts can get silly sometimes, as well as some flavours having sweeteners... something else I have a intolerance for! I really like a nice creamy or set yoghurt over fresh fruit... but alas cost kinda forbids this tempting treasure to be less than a bi monthly 'treat'. Imagine to my surprise (OK OK I hinted to both my Dad and his wife so I knew it was coming!) for my birthday last year my Dad presented me with quite a large parcel from Lakeland... and inside was the yoghurt maker and a spare tub & lid ...  Read the complete review
