I owned Salton yogurt makers for over 30 years, and when the last one died, I found out Salton no longer makes them. So, I purchased this model. First off, the description says the jars hold 6 ounces of yogurt. No way! If you follow the recipe and heat 1 quart of milk, and add the 1/2 cup of live culture yogurt, you are left with almost 3/4 cup that won't fit in the jars! The tiny jars are more like baby food jars, and not only do they not hold 6 ounces, the tiny opening and lip on the inside make them hard to eat out of and clean. As a side note, in the 30 years I have been making yogurt I have never added any more than 2 heaping tablespoons of yogurt and always got perfect results.
