Good item

The starter makes fantastic tasting yogurt, the yogurt is very high quality using this product better than other ones I have bought from different companies in the past, I will always buy this one now. Batch after batch it comes out the same high quality. If you're debating whether or not to get it, don't debate, just buy it. You'll be glad

Yogurt was very thin.

I bought a Euro Cuisine yogurt maker back in late 2008 and used it routinely for many years. The last time I bought the Euro Cuisine culture, however, was back in 2011. About two years later, I got away from making my own yogurt. Decided to try it out again, and glad I did. The packaging and even the product itself seem to have changed a little. It's even better now. I made my first batch yesterday and it came out great. It is so much better than the yogurt I've been buying at the grocery store, even though that yogurt is Greek, organic and nonfat. But it's still too sweet and tastes more like vanilla pudding than vanilla yogurt. This homemade stuff is nice and tangy with just the right amount of sweetness to it. The yogurt firmed up very nicely (I always add a little nonfat powdered milk to ensure firmness). I'm going to have to make another batch very soon because those seven little jars will not be lasting long.Update 9-5-2017: I decided to try another brand, a brand that is often seen here and even at health food stores. Yesterday, I made a batch. I noticed it took a lot longer for the yogurt to begin to 'set' and for roughly nine hours I was worried that the yogurt culture was bad and would not work. By twelve hours, though, the milk had solidified into yogurt. Sort of. I tasted it this morning after chilling the yogurt overnight and it is bland beyond words. It's like eating pudding-milk without even much milk taste. I can't even taste the vanilla extract that I flavored the milk with. The consistency is nice, very smooth, not runny (a little bit of whey on top, not much) but it is so bland. I guess I got used to Euro Cuisine's tangy flavor. I much prefer the tangy and yes, strong flavor to this 'nothing' yogurt. I won't name the product and I didn't buy it here on Amazon although Amazon does sell it.Now I understand why some reviewers here find Euro Cuisine's yogurt culture too strong. I guess it's all about preference and what you get used to. I won't be experimenting ever again.Recommend!

I found that using half of the package of yogurt culture starter for the batch makes the perfect texture. Before , I found out about using a yogurt starter I was using probiotics and prebiotics. Half of my batch was runny. I used a thermometer to test the water in the yogurt maker which was consistent on all sides. So, I started reading the reviews and learned so much more.

Don't waste your time or money. I have wasted three batches of milk and followed recipe details to the letter, using a digital thermometer.... and end up with liquid. Absolutely a waste.

How to use again and again WITH A CROCKPOTI bought because of all the good reviews saying it works but I didnt have a yogurt marker, nor was I buying one. So I made yogurt with my crock pot proving this works without the maker.How I make with my crock pot:First batch, follow the instructions on the package. Once I add the yogurt culture, I kept the milk at a temperature between 110-120. Keep a thermometer handy and check every 30-60 minutes and click it to warm/low/high depending on how fast I wanted to heat it up. Let it sit for 8 hours and store.Using premade yogurt, 4 cups of milk to 1 TBSP yogurt. Heat yogurt to 180 and let it cool to 120. Add the TBSP of yogurt and repeat the 8 hours of keeping temp between 110-120.Good luck and happy yogurt making 😊
