24 HR Yogurt Maker?

[Ravenlunatic]

The reason this yogurt I want to make is called 24 hr yogurt is because you let the milk sit for 24 hours in the maker, not just the number of hours it takes to 'make' yogurt. It is the 24 hours to ensure all the lactose is removed from the original milk. It is for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. The yogurt maker has to be able to hold the 110 degree temp for 24 hours.

I don't know that much about yogurt makers, will they all do this? Or are they designed for less time? Which yogurt makers are good? Have you had success?

Thanks for any insight.

My yogurt maker only stays on for 19 hours, so what I have to do is to set it for five, and then go and reset it when it's finished, for another 19 hours, to make 24 total. It's not that much of a pain in the neck though; if I'm not going to be able to be there five hours into the time, I just adjust whatever time I'm setting it for to accommodate my plans.

I have this one:

although I will say I paid a LOT less than they're asking for it there. I am very happy with it on the whole, however.

I always ferment 24 hours, and I don't use a yogurt maker. A heating pad set to low and a big towel work well for me. As does my crockpot set to "warm" (if I hadn't lost the cord).
