mold on my yogurt ... if i scrape it off can i still eat it?

[Guest guest]

i've been using a euro cuisine yogurt maker for months ... it was great while it

lasted ... the last two times it's gotten too hot and killed the yogurt ... it

also had mold on it and smelled rotten … which has never happened in the months

i've been doing this. so i made a batch yesterday in my oven at 107 for 24

hours ... that's the temp the light will get it to ... i sterilized everything

.... when i got it out tonight it had a tiny amount of mold on it ... a few small

spots of blue and some white ... smelled great. i usually don't sterilize

anything so I thought that would solve the problem but apparently not. i need

my yogurt and this is getting frustrating … not to mention the cost of losing my

third batch!

i found one post online about the safety of eating it ... and i searched and

searched to find that one … someone said scrape the mold off and use it for

cooking. well, i scraped the mold off and it tastes great. will it be safe to

eat? I did find a post on this board that said to toss it ... but it's killing

me to think of tossing the third batch. someone tell me they ate it with the

mold scraped off and they were fine. LOL

I will use vinegar and peroxide next time and a separate sponge. I've been

canning for years and know about keeping everything sterile … I've never had

problems canning or with my yogurt until now. I'm so bummed.
