Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi , This conversation was on another SCD list. It was was written by Claudine. I will give you her email if this is not clear enough. Mimi ------------------------------------------------------------------ I use a crock pot with a lamp dimmer to make yogurt, which works well for me, as I make 4-5.5 qts at a time. Also, the dimmer helps me, as the incubation temperature fluctuates with the room temperature. You can figure out where to set the lamp dimmer by running a trial with water and testing the temp with a thermometer, and making sure it stays in the 100-110 degree range for at least 24 hours. --------------------------------------------------------------------- >Oh, so the " dimmer " has nothing to do with using a light! The dimmer >actually controls the heat temp. of the crockpot??? Wow, that is >great. I will look for one today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, Sheryl, that's correct. When you use the lamp dimmer with the crock pot, it decreases the heat output so you can get it to the correct incubation temperature. If you plugged a lamp into it, it would dim the lamp. So clever. I wish I could credit who thought of it originally,but it has been passed down the line via the wonderful Internet.. > Does anyone use an electric crock pot, on low, to make their yougurt?

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I read the other post about the dimmer and that sounds wonderful. I tested my crock pot on its regular low temp and it was much too hot so eventually was able to get my oven to the correct temp using a 60 watt bulb and preheating the oven. Best of luck!
