    First effort at making yoghurt was a failure, second attempt was a resounding success. I'm using half of it exactly as it came out as it's the texture of honey and I strained the other half for 24 hours. It's solid! OH absolutely loves it.

    Has anyone tried it with skimmed milk powder pre-mixed to 1 litre rather than UHT? It's doubled in price since the original recipe was posted and that means the price has increased quite a bit.

    I did another load of curried parsnip soup in it, and I have to say slow cooker soup rocks.
    Better is good enough.

    I'm pretty sure that's how I used to make it & add extra powder to make it a bit thicker. Going back years though, before we got skimmed milk in cartons :D

    I didn't use a slow cooker though, it was the flask method.
