Just wanting to know if plant based yogurts and cheeses can be made in the yogurt
maker?

o Admin Kuvings – August 29, 2018

The Yogurt Maker does comes with a recipe for making Coconut Yogurt.

As for other nut yogurts and cheeses our Yogurt maker will allow you to fully
control the Time and Temperature.
If you have a recipe that requires say 24hrs at 42C then you can set. If you
need 12hrs at 65C you can set that also.

Brad – August 5, 2018

Do I need to preheat the milk to make either Greek yoghurt or feta cheese? If so
what temperature do I use?

o Admin Kuvings – August 6, 2018

Hi Brad, No you don’t have to heat the milk before making yogurt. Yes you
do have the heat the milk before making feta cheese.

 As I have enjoyed the experience of making my own Greek yoghurt and Pickled
Cucumbers, I was wondering what the fridge life is of each of these?

o Admin Kuvings – August 20, 2018

Homemade yogurt is generally good for eating for up to 2 weeks, when

stored in the refrigerator.
For re-culturing another batch we recommend using the yogurt as a starter
within 7 days to make a new batch.

Pickles will keep for 3-4 months or longer but will lose their crunch over time.

Emma – August 22, 2018

I am interested in the yoghurt maker. When making yoghurt the instructions

usually make me heat up the milk first in a saucepan. is that step not required
when using this?

o Admin Kuvings – August 22, 2018

When I make my Greek Yogurt I don’t heat it first because I use Made by Cow
milk which is cold pressed raw milk and I don’t want to heat it… I have also
used Goats milk and again I didn’t heat it first and it also worked well.

I have tried A2 milk without heating and it didn’t produce much yogurt
Other milks might need heating to 60C to thicken them before culturing.

Heating the milk denatures the proteins, allowing them to form a stronger
network when exposed to acid (like lactic acid produced by the bacteria in
yogurt cultures).
This may give you a firmer yogurt.

 Susan Stewart – July 27, 2018

Can your yogurt maker, make 24 hour yogurt?

o Admin Kuvings – July 27, 2018

The default setting for making Yogurt on the machine is 8 hours at 42 C.

You can manually adjust the time and temperature to suit your needs.

When making 24hr yogurt is best done at 38 C so I would also adjust the
temperature down a bit.

Barbara – October 9, 2018

How do you sterilise in the microwave please

o Admin Kuvings – October 10, 2018

HI Barbara, you pour 100mL of water into the bowl and put the bowl in a
microwave. Let it run for two minutes and drain the water. After the parts
cool off, dry them off with paper towel.

This is one of the best appliances I I’ve ever bought. Yogurt, cheese, wine (yes, it
makes wine!) and pickles come out perfectly. The price is not cheap, but it’s worth
every cent. Highly recommended.

o Brad trelevan – August 3, 2018

Do I need to preheat the milk for Greek yoghurt? If so, what temperature? I
only get a small amount of Greek yoghurt, and a large amount of runny
yoghurt and whey in the bottom when I make it. I’ve tried longer times in the
machine, and longer times in the fridge.

o Admin Kuvings – August 6, 2018

Make sure you are using starter with live active cultures. Long used by dates
are better are yogurt cultures deteriorate over time. Occasionally the batch
may have a very thin consistency, it may even be liquid and that’s perfectly
fine. The texture and consistency will even out over the next several batches.
Save 6 Tbsp and reuse.

o Jenny – March 30, 2019

I haven’t purchased yet but was wondering if it does fermented Veges, such
as carrot or beetroot or kimchi etc? And along the line of ferments how
about kombucha?

o Kuvings – April 1, 2019

Hi Jenny, yes you can use the machine to ferment veggies and make
kombucha tea you just need make your own scoby our have one gifted to
you from a friend.

o Jenny (verified owner) – April 5, 2019

 Just got my new machine , I wanted to make beetroot kraut but not sure if I
use the same recipe as for cabbage, any recipes?

o Kuvings – April 9, 2019

Yes you can use the same recipe or experiment with your own combinations.

o Denise – September 19, 2019

Can you make Kefir fermented milk drink in this machine?

o Kuvings – September 25, 2019

Yes there is a Kefir Yogurt recipe in the book that comes with the machine.
1 Add the Kefir starter to milk and mix them well. Use the Greek Yogurt &
Cheese Maker to make Kefir Yogurt.
2 The bowl with the fermented Kefir Yogurt is taken out from the body, and
stored in a refrigerator. It has to be ripened and coagulated for around 6
hours to have Kefir Yogurt.

Janine – July 13, 2018

Looking at purchasing the Greek yogurt and cheese maker, hoping you can tell me
if it will make mozzarella cheese? Are you able to let me know the types of cheese it
can be used for?

o Admin Kuvings – July 13, 2018

To make Mozzarella cheese you need to be able to stretch and pull the curds
by hand so it is not made in the Kuvings Yogurt and Cheese maker. If you
google homemade mozzarella cheese you will see many recipes that will
show you how to make it in about 30 mins.
 The cheeses we do make are Feta cheese, Cottage cheese and Cream cheese
and we do have our own recipes that come with the machine.

10.  Question

Tania G – June 6, 2018

To make yogurt you need a starter. Can I use any probiotic capsules? Is there an
ideal bacteria number for making yogurt?

o Admin Kuvings – June 6, 2018

We haven’t used any probiotic capsules, some people have said they do use
them online with a longer incubation time of 18-24 hours instead of 8 which
you can adjust manually on the machine.

Joanne C. – June 6, 2018

Hi have just received my geek yoghurt & cheese maker and on page 20 it mentions
a vinegar/baking soda water (low content) to clean the bowl but does not explain
what it is how to make it!

o Admin Kuvings – June 6, 2018

To make the vinegar/baking soda water you mix 1 cup of water with 1 Tbsp
Vinegar and 1 Tsp of baking soda (bi-carb soda): Wipe the lid and handle with
a soft cloth soaked in the vinegar/soda water and finish with a dry cloth or
paper towel.
