To refute the benefits of dairy products is simply pointless. Daily use of kefir, cottage cheese and yogurt favorably affects the body. The more useful these products are, the less foreign impurities are added to their composition. However, to be sure of the high quality of the protein source is possible only when it is made with your own hands. I am glad that there is nothing difficult in this lesson, the main thing is to have available raw materials and a special device, whose name is a yogurt maker.
This kitchen technique is different. It is distinguished primarily by functionality and equipment, which directly affects the price. Many buyers often see which jars for yogurt makers the key indicator of good quality is. Let's see if this is really important.
So different dishes
We all remember very well the not-so-distant times when milk, kefir and fermented baked milk were sold in glass bottles sealed with a foil lid. These were products of remarkable quality, incredibly tasty, they pop up in our memory as something wonderful, even magical. At the moment, manufacturers can not afford such a container, and nobody is completely reluctant to mess with it. As a result, the consumer remains at best with a tetrapack paper bag, and at worst with plastic. From it make bottles, jars and containers for cottage cheese and sour cream.
Jars for yogurt makers are of two types: glass and plastic. Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. For many consumers, glass will always be a clear favorite in view of its safety. Indeed, this material is non-toxic, it does not emit harmful substances when heated, it is easily and simply washed, it is not afraid of sterilization, which is necessary for the preparation of a high-quality sour-milk product.
Plastic jars for yogurt makers are good when they are made from food grade plastic to be heated. In this case, you can be sure that the yogurt made in such a container will not be poison poisoning the body. The advantages of plastic are durability and strength. The disadvantage of low-quality jars can be fusibility. During the preparation of containers for the preparation of yogurt, many housewives pour them with boiling water, after which it is deformed.
Indoor card
In addition to the fact that jars differ in different models of yogurt makers, all their types are closed with different lids. They can be plastic and rubber, colored and plain, have threads or be without them, some contain a universal dater from the outside, which will not let you forget when yogurt was prepared.
The modification of the caps does not affect the quality of the product in any way, but there is one important point. Everyone who wants to make a tasty and healthy dessert at home needs to know it. It concerns such a controversial question: do I close the jars in the yogurt maker right at the time of its preparation? No, you don’t have to do this. Lids must be used to cover the containers when the yogurt is removed from the appliance and transferred to the refrigerator for ripening.
Minus one
In different models of yogurt makers, the number of cans is different (most often it is 6 or 12 pieces), rarely any of the manufacturers completes the device with additional capacity. And sometimes there is a need. Jars can burst, break, or simply get lost.
If this happened, you need to go to the official website of the manufacturer or its distributor and look at the information on whether there are spare jars for your model selling there.
If the problem cannot be resolved in this way, there is an alternative way - to independently select the container in height and diameter. For this, a miniature jar of baby food, canned vegetables or fruits, a small elongated plastic tray may come in handy.
One for all or all for one?
Another question that interests those who only want to buy a yogurt maker, and its owners - does the quality of the prepared product depend on the volume of the dishes? It was experimentally established that yes - the size in this matter matters. If you use small jars for a yogurt maker, the treat will turn out to be denser and denser and will be as similar to traditional yogurt as possible.
A large volume capacity (1 liter), which can be found in some devices, is also suitable for preparing a delicious fermented milk product, but its main purpose is to obtain cottage cheese.
