Toffy Yogurt Maker K-YM1

Yogurt is only the latest aspect of the Japanese love for fermented foods: natto soy beans, sake, and soy are just some of the Japanese diet's fermented staples and now that milk has become (more or less) a standard in most families too, yogurt is the next reasonable step. Of course, like almost anything in Japan, yogurt must be made to perfection, which means that for many people, the usual supermarket stuff won't do: they need something that allows them to make yogurt at home exactly the way they want it, and the Toffy Yogurt Maker K-YM1 is the easiest way to do that!

How easy? You won't even need to take the milk out of its carton! The Toffy Yogurt Maker K-YM1 can take any milk carton up to a liter (33.8 fl oz) and keep it at a steady low temperature until fermentation is completed and your yogurt is ready. It has a timer that goes up to 48 hours so you won't have to always check to see if it's done. And as for the other fermented foods like natto or amazake (sweet sake), it can do those too, plus boil eggs or steam a chicken breast for your salads! All that in a compact 140 x 300 x 140 mm (5.5 x 11.8 x 5.5") unit!
