Yogurt Makers You Can Use
To keep your L. reuteri or L. gasseri at the best temperature, you'll need an appliance with a temperature adjustment of 100°F and a timer that can be set to 36 hours. This can be a yogurt maker, Instant Pot, or sous vide device. You'll need to make sure your device has those features. Here are some appliances that should work well for you.
An insulated mug works great for making Yogurt Plus, Skyr, or Greek Yogurt. Any good-quality insulated mug that holds at least 30 ounces should work well. You can also make these yogurts in a yogurt maker—both methods are easy, and I’ve included instructions for each in the recipes.
Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker
This is a great yogurt maker that can make small jars or bigger bowls. They even have one that makes 12 jars. They are available on Amazon, and you can buy extra jars and bowls if you'd like. It comes with a lifetime warranty and lets you set the time and temperature. It is perfect and convenient for making L. reuteri or L. gasseri yogurt, as well as other yogurts.
Luvele Yogurt Maker
This is a great yogurt maker. It is a 2.1 QT (2L) Glass Container and is made by Luvele, which is a terrific company that is passionate about what they do. Highly recommended.
Luvele 4 Jar Yogurt Maker
This is another great updated yogurt maker from Luvele. You get 4 jars which are each 13.5 ounces. It keeps the temp between 78 and 122 degrees F and has a 36-hour digital. It's great for making multiple kinds of yogurt.
Sous Vide
We've made dozens of jars of yogurt with this device. You can make larger batches so it's very convenient. It's actually a well-known cooking method used by many chefs.
You'll need a sous vide stick and a container to place the yogurt in a water bath. It allows you to make several jars at one time and controls the temperature perfectly.
Here is a link for the container I use but you can use your own container if you'd like:
Instant Pots/Pressure Cookers
Not all Instant Pot models have a manual temperature setting that can be set to 100°F.
L. reuteri and L. gasseri bacteria love human body temperature. Regular yogurt makers and Instant Pots are usually set to higher temperatures of 110°F or more, which is too hot for L. reuteri or L. gasseri to survive.
Test your device with a cup of water and a thermometer before making your first batch. I hesitate to recommend certain brands because it isn't always standard for all the pots, so please just make sure yours can maintain 100°F.
An insulated mug works great for making Yogurt Plus, Skyr, or Greek Yogurt. Any high-quality insulated mug that is at least 30 ounces will work.
Instructions are in the recipes.
I have my own mug that you can purchase.
