Flea Market Score!
We make and eat a lot of yogurt. It's probably our biggest use of excess milk here. I've been looking at yogurt makers, but a good one just isn't in the budget right now. I went to the flea market in a nearby town Monday morning, and there, on a table amid some really bad "vintage room decor" sat a Cosmopolitan Yogurt Maker by Salton. The graphics on the box were the epitome of 1970's marketing art. I opened it up and found that all of the parts were there. There were 5 small white glass jars with lids, a measuring spoon with built-in thermometer, the warming unit with lid, and even the instruction manual. It was ALL there. I asked the guy behind the table how much he wanted for it, and he said, "Ah, gimme $3, and it's yours." I didn't even want to haggle. For $3, I was glad to relieve him of his yogurt maker. I brought it home, washed, bleached, and washed again, and followed the instructions to make a batch of yogurt. It worked! Perfectly! It doesn't make as much as we usually make at one time, but it beats the heck out of trying to regulate the temperature in the slow cooker or cooler methods. I always get too busy to keep a good eye on those methods.
Anyway, I'm excited, and I just wanted to share.
This is the model I got, but it is not my actual yogurt maker. It's a picture I found online.
