TANICA Yogurut　maker Yogurutia start set Blue YM-1200-NB

I suffer from Ulcerative Colitis and have been looking into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to control my flair ups. I have found that an essential part of the diet is 24 Hr SCD Yoghurt which is fermented/digested for a period of 24 Hrs. (Google "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" for more details). The most important thing is keeping the temperature between 38 and 43 Deg C (100 to 110 Deg F) for the 24 Hr period but the problem is that all the mainstream Retail Yoghurt Makers tend to rise above 43 Deg C after about 6 hours and start killing off the good bacteria your trying to encourage. I've seen reviews of people trying to control the temperature with an in-line dimmer switch with varied success but good luck to them. Well, long story short, here is the solution. I set the temperature to 40 Deg C and have verified that it maintains that temerature between 40 and 41 Deg C for the full 24Hrs and produces perfect yoghurt to boot. Don't be put off that you have to order from Japan as it is excellent quality and there are only three buttons on the unit (Set Temp, Set Timer and Start/Stop) so you don't need a degree in Japanese to operate the unit. I cannot recommend this unit highly enough to anyone on or interested in the SCD diet.

Just a word of warning to anyone else that is considering buying one of these, you will not only need a plug adaptor but a transformer as well since the Japanese equipment runs on 100v compared to our 240v.Looking over at my melted yogurt maker feeling a little gutted right now.

This machine is the only Yoghurt maker I found that give a broad choice of temperatures (up to 65 degrees centigrade) and times (up to 24 hours).It is very easy to use when you know how to set up timer and temperature (I had to watch videos in japanese on Youtube to figure it out... as many women, I am not very technical).Something that nobody mentioned in the reviews is that I had to add 7 degrees centigrades more to obtain the needed temperature.For instance, if I want the temperature to be 40 degrees, I have to set the machine at 47 degrees. I don't know if it is due to the electricity converted from 100v to 230v? Anyway, after getting the hang on it, I am very pleased with this device. Marie

I like the fact that it's all in one pot and not several small pots and goes straight in the fridge. Also having the 2 pots is a great idea as you can start the 2nd batch just before running out of the 1st.

I have had this for a couple of years. Well worth the purchase. temperature control excellent.

This is an amazing yogurt maker ! I have tried to make 24 hour fermented yogurt and natto and succeeded !

Did buckwheat natto which has a long fermentation time (2 days) and everything was OK. Very good device!

simple to use perfect yogurt every time set the temperature and set time grate very happy with this, only down side I wish it had a glass container instead of plastic,. . you will need a transformer to use in the UK I got mine from Airlink transformers I give them the product specifications and they give me the correct transformer . .
