Yogurt is full of probiotics, which are in fact living organisms that can be very beneficial for the entire body when they are consumed in certain quantities.

Dash Yogurt Maker Looks and Features
Dash Yogurt Maker has very simple design. It is especially convenient for people with limited kitchen spaces due to its small size. It consists of a base container, a yogurt container and a lid. In addition it has an on/off button on the front of the maker. Bear in mind that this is a rather basic maker which means that certain prepping and manual control will be needed.
Unlike the fully automatic makers, with this maker you will have to pre heat the milk. When you decide to make yogurt pre heat the milk you intend to use at the desired temperature. Make sure you use the milk right after you finish heating it. The next few steps are very easy. The milk, or your ingredients for making yogurt (as you might be using a powder or similar) should be placed in the yogurt container. Then the container should be placed inside the yogurt base and the lid should be closed. You will have to plug in the unit and wait for the maker to do its job. Unlike the fully automatic makers, with this maker you don’t have a display where you can adjust the time of the fermentation. In addition it doesn’t have an automatic stop when the fermentation is finished. That means that you will have to decide on your own how long do you want the process to take. The time will be determined by the type of yogurt you are making but it usually takes from 6 to 8 hours for the process to be finished. When the maker has finished its work, you should turn it off to let it know that the work is done.
