YogoMagic

Hello all! I recently saw a Yogomagic at Value Village and it reminded me of the identical model that my mom has from way back when. They are old yogurt makers from the 60's, when yogurt was first invented. Anyway - I got my mom's from her instead of payin g $2.99 at Value Village (although it would have been worth it!) and then grabbed the directions out of the one at Value Village. Well, the directions were in french so I tried looking it up on the net but nothing came up. So I decided to post the directions here on my blog incase anyone else ever needs some yogomagic instructions! (My husband translated the french for me)

It's simple! Just warm up 1 litre (4 cups) of milk on the stove or microwave until it is almost too hot to put your finger in. Put the milk in the container & then add 3 tbsp. of store bought yogurt to the milk and mix it around. Make sure the yogurt has "active bacterial culture" in it. Then simply put the container in the warmer and wait 6 hours and you have 4 cups of yogurt made from 3 tbsp.'s! It's like magic! ;o) You can also use powdered milk instead of regular milk by just mixing the appropriate amount of powder to water, although I tried this and the yogurt came out with a grainy texture. This is only my second batch that I am making now & I used regular milk, so we'll see how it turns out! If you like yogurt & you see a yogomagic - you should get it! It's a blast from the past!

Thanks for the info. I have a Yogomagic which I have never used and have lost the instructions, so have been reluctant to attempt to use the device.
Thanks again.

Hi
I'm writing from France where I also have a Yogomagic ! My Mom gave it to me yesterday because I want to make yogurt to my 9 monts old boy. I mean, real yogurt...ha ha.
My mom bought it in England twenty years ago, but lost the notice. Not much to be found on the web, except your blog. If you can mail the notice, it would be great !
Thanks

I have most of a Yogomagic that I bought and used often 30-35 years ago. Somewhere between then and now in one of my moves, I lost the inside container that you place down in the unit with the yogurt makings inside. Do you have an idea where I could get a replacement for that container? I always loved the yogurt I made...much better than what I buy now.
