Euro Cuisine YM80 Yogurt Maker Review (and easy coconut milk yogurt recipe!)

11/16/2013

18 Comments

 
Picture
The Euro Cuisine YM80 Yogurt Maker is a great tool for making paleo friendly yogurt at home. I really missed yogurt since going paleo, and everything I saw at the store, even coconut milk yogurt, had a bunch of additives, so I went without. 

The YM80 Yogurt Maker  comes with 7 glass jars and lids that allow you to make a variety of different flavors of yogurt at one time. I love this machine because it allows me to enjoy yogurt without having to worry about what other additives or preservatives are in my food. I can add whatever fresh ingredients I want and experiment with flavors. And the price is great for such a useful tool.


The 7 glass jars that come with the machine are well made and can be used for a variety of things in between yogurt making, which I makes the price even better. The unit is less than 10" wide so it doesn't take up much counter space and all of the jars fit inside for easy storage. For an additional $10 Euro Cuisine makes another model, the YM100, that includes a timer, but because I just leave mine on overnight and turn it off in the morning I haven't found the need to use a timer. The machine also comes with detailed instructions and recipes on how to make dairy yogurt for those that drink milk (see instructions below if you want to make coconut milk yogurt).

I make my yogurt using coconut milk and I empty in a few capsules of probiotics as a starter. Once you start making yogurt you can just use a couple tablespoons of the previous batch of yogurt as a starter. If you like your yogurt thick, leave the cans of coconut in the fridge overnight and drain the milk (save that for a smoothie!) and only use the cream. You can also strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth after making it if you want it extra thick. You can also blend the coconut cream in a food processor with fresh fruit, raw honey, vanilla extract, etc. to make different flavors of yogurt. Check out my favorite paleo yogurt recipe HERE, or follow the instructions below for a basic yogurt!

Basic Paleo Coconut Milk Yogurt:
  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk, left in fridge overnight to separate
  • 2 capsules of probiotics, or 2 Tbsp. previously made yogurt

1. Drain the milk from the cans and scrape the coconut cream it a bowl.
2. Empty two capsules of probiotics or add 2 Tbsp. of previously made yogurt to the bowl and stir to combine
3. Scoop the coconut cream mixture into the glass jars and place the jars in the machine. Leave the lids OFF the jars, place the machine lid on and turn the machine on. Leave on for 15 hours (or longer - the longer you let it ferment the more sour the flavor will be).
4. Place the lids on the jars and stick your yogurt in the fridge to cool for a few hours. The yogurt will keep for up to a week in the sealed containers. 

For extra thick yogurt: If you like your yogurt very thick, you can strain it through a cheesecloth after it has chilled, or you can substitute 1 box of coconut cream, chilled in the fridge overnight and milk drained, as a substitute for the 2 cans of coconut milk.

I'm curious. I have made cow's milk yogurt a few times, and it required heating to a certain temperature. Do you happen to know why and why coconut milk doesn't need it? Thank you!

Ah that is a good question and I actually researched that before I made the coconut milk yogurt because I was curious as well! The scalding denatures the protein in the milk which makes less separation between the solids and the whey (helps make the dairy milk yogurt more firm). Since coconut milk doesn't have the same components as dairy the heating of the coconut milk isn't necessary :-)

I have coconut milk in 2 different sizes and cultured coconut milk in a third in the fridge. Can you please be more specific for the nervous yogurt maker?

This is something that I am definitely interested in buying! For a couple of years now, I have been integrating yogurt into my eating menus. I read this article once, it says that yogurt is one of the most tummy-friendly desserts. Like it can help your digestive system in many ways, however, I never really liked the taste of yogurt. That is why, I plan to experiment with this yogurt maker you have here. I am thinking of doing something crazy, like adding vegetables to it.

Hi there, have you heard of easiyo yogurt makers? Plastic containers and an incubater where you poor boiling water, put in the container (with a lid) then put the lid on the yogurt maker and leave overnight or longer, would this work with your recipe? Have been dairy free for ages and havn't tried any alternatives yet

Hi..just wondering if you tried making the yoghurt in the easyo yoghurt maker? I have one of these and would love to know if it worked? Thanks :-)

I tried this exactly according to instructions, and after taking one out of the fridge found that it was rock hard. What could have gone wrong??

I highly recommend buying a box of spare jars too. It adds to the cost, but this will allow you to start a new batch without having to wait to use and clean up the jars from the previous batch. It will also provide you with spare parts, which I discovered the hard way. I somehow lost a lid from the original set about two months after I got the yogurt maker. If I hadn't had the extra jars, I would now have a yogurt maker that makes six jars of yummy yogurt, rather than seven.

Interesting recipe..good to hear why milk does not need to be heated. I am curious to know why you suggest leaving the lids off the the jars. Thanks so much

You leave the tops off the jars because that is what the manufacturer's directions say.

LOVE the fact that you don't have to boil! That way we can eat all the wonderful live enzymes. Thanks so much for sharing!!! So glad I can add this to my family's diet!

Can I use yogurt from my last batch rather than probiotic capsules? If so, how much of my yogurt should I mix in?

So sorry. I just looked at the recipe again and found the answer!

Wondering what your definition of 'cans' is? What size? My daughter is lactose intolerant and drinks coconut milk. We just buy it in the half gallon cartons in the organic section at our grocery store. Think that would work?

Hello,
I have this maker at home and use it to make yogurt. It works like a charm. I've been wanting to try it using coconut milk. Is the two cans of cream after leaving in the fridge enough to fill the 7 glass jars? Thanks :)

Could you make this with almond milk? Cashew? I'm allergic to coconut. :(

two questions: 1. if you only want the "cream" from the canned milk, why not just use canned coconut cream to start with? 2. can you add other things to it when making it. Like honey or maple syrup for sweetener or vanilla extract/beans, fruit, etc? or do you add that after making the plain yogurt?

Are you supposed to be able to fill all 7 jars with this recipe?
