Which thermometer for home made yogurt?

[Ravenlunatic]

So I am on the brink of trying to make my own 24 hour yogurt, but don't know which kind of thermometer to use. I have a digital one that has a little metal tip that you stick into your food... is this adequate? Or do I need something else?

Thanks

That should be fine. You'll just need something that will register in the 110 degree range (some thermometers only do higher temps).

I've never used a thermometer for making yogurt.

me neither. I boil the milk, then let it cool for 30min, and at that time, it is warm enough so that when i touch the liquid, i don't burn my finger. THAT is the temp i mix the starter with the milk, heat the oven a little bit(when our house is cold) and wrap the yogurt in a blender and stick the mixture in the turned off oven.
