In my quest NOT to buy another single use appliance, I found this article on alternate methods to make yogurt.

I knew my crockpot was too hot even on low, though I had used it in the past for less fussy yogurts. I tried keeping my first batch in a thermos jug, that was a fail, but could have been for a number of reasons.

Yesterday I used a carry sized, soft-sided cooler, and a heating pad set at low. The yogurt is in a large mason jar, about 24 hours now, and it tests now exactly at 100 degrees. Pure luck! I warmed the 1/2 and 1/2 to 100 degrees before adding the heating pad and zipping the lid.

Add next morning, looks like yogurt 😆It is VERY Tart so I think this batch has worked.
