After reading your favorite forum, the yoghurt turned out great the first time. Everything turns out exactly as described in this thread - on yogurt, BioMax turned out to be viscous in 6 hours; on two capsules of linex yogurt as jelly for 8 hours; with the addition of cream, yoghurt is more fatty with a very appetizing fatty yellow "lid". The cream had to be added because one liter of milk and 125 grams of yogurt was not enough to fill all the jars. You need somewhere 1.3 liters.
Tell me, do you sterilize jars from a yogurt maker or is there no need for this? If yes, how do you sterilize and how often?

I, for example, sterilize in the microwave before every yogurt preparation. If these are jars, then I pour a spoonful of water into each and a couple of minutes at full power. But I have long ago replaced the jars with a glass saucepan, it is more convenient for me. I also sterilize in micro.
Mams
I don’t sterilize. I wash my dishwasher at 55-60 degrees. Very clean. Then I put it in a yogurt maker, cover it with a lid. And so I keep it. But I do it every other day, so they don't stand for a long time.
Tanyusha
I sterilize in the oven for 100 C for 10 minutes before making yogurt.

And I do not sterilize every time, about once a month, or even less often, when I remember, I put jars in a double boiler for 10 minutes.
I have been making yoghurts for a year and a half, I gave a 10-month-old baby from jars that were not sterilized every time, and everything is fine, there are no problems.
Lenusya
Before making yoghurt, I scald it with boiling water (first, pour a little boiling water (so as not to burst from the temperature drop), then to the top). Pour out after 1-2 minutes.
Rustic stove
I don't handle the jars on purpose. I wash the jars and lids in the dishwasher, then keep them closed until the next use.
When the dishwasher broke, I just washed it with water, like ordinary dishes, dried it and used it for yogurt.
Not poisoned even once.
Juliya
And I noticed that if you sterilize the jars, then yogurt turns out much better! The serum does not separate at all, the consistency is homogeneous, very thick.
It is very convenient to sterilize in a BRAUN steamer, where all the jars from the Moulinex yogurt maker are placed. I turn it on for 10-15 minutes.

And for sterilization we have adapted the Avent sterilizer for baby bottles. I stayed after my daughter grew up.
The principle of operation is very simple: pour 200 ml of water, load the jars into the sterilizer and put them in the microwave for 5 minutes.
Fast and easy!

I pour cm of water on the bottom of each jar without any sterilizer, put it in microvolts, close the lid for microvolts and turn on for 5 minutes

I made yogurt from 6% milk, I didn’t like it, it’s too greasy, it’s some kind of sour cream, and not yogurt, I stewed zucchini in it, it turned out super
Mams
Yogurt on Agusha - I liked it, delicious and tender. We ate it with pleasure.

What I understood for myself. From 6% milk, yoghurt is best made in winter. In the summer you want something easier. And when it's cold, here it will be good to be fatter.

I don't sterilize cans, I wash them in the dishwasher. At 50, at least 70 degrees.Since the cans are hot after washing, they dry up immediately, I think there should be no excess bacteria there. I store it in a yogurt maker under a closed lid.
Chantal
Mams, if my memory serves me, then in the instructions for the children's sterilizer I read that the dishes remain sterile only when the sterilizer lid is closed and only within 3 hours after sterilization, I actually sterilize it additionally immediately before use, although I keep mine just like you

And we didn't buy a baby sterilizer. We just rinsed the bottles with boiling water before use ... And now the kids have grown up and there is no need for sterilization at all.

I think if there are babies in the house, then really, you need to sterilize, and if all adults, then just wash well. By the way, you can wash cans with regular baking soda - also a great way to kill all bacteria. My aunt has been doing this all her life when preserving - she does not boil cans, but simply washes them with soda. And all is well worth the winter.

we also did not buy the instructions, I read when I was studying the question, and since I already had an electric tefal steamer, I decided that to buy a sterilizer separately - it was superfluous, besides, I was more likely to cook in the steamer, I cooked bottles, and nozzles from the inhaler, and small toys, and so on and so on so I recommend it to everyone
Juliya
I've never sterilized before either. But in sterile jars, yogurt turns out better (on pharmacy bacteria). Moreover, it is very convenient in a double boiler.
Sergey Kornilov
I sterilize cans in the microwave.
I pour it on water to the height of a finger and put it in the microwave.
8 cans for 2 minutes. After a minute, the water boils and boils for 1 minute. It is not possible to take the glass with your hands, it gets very hot.
We take the jars with mittens and drain the water into the sink and leave to cool. As it cools, the jars and dry immediately.
katryna88
I also sterilize. Either I pour it over with boiling water, or in the Microwave
Serious
Tell me, did someone try to put 1 big one instead of jars in a yogurt moulik (or similar in design), if yes, which one was used, where was it taken? There are many plastic containers on sale, with lids, you can easily choose the right one, is the use of glass or plastic also suitable?
musyanya
No plastic containers for yogurt! Plastic is scratched a lot - a lot of scratches are not visible to the eye, fungi can appear in them and harmful bacilli! Glass is more suitable, someone wrote that they took transparent bowls for microwave ovens of the appropriate size, just in a mule.
NatalyaN
I took.
Serious
The bowls have no lids, but I would like to close them with a screw lid and refrigerate immediately after cooking.

I used a 1.1 L glass Pirex container, it has a plastic lid, round, perfect.

How do you dry jars after sterilization? Something they dry themselves for a very long time ... even if they are very, very hot ...
I sterilize in the Avent baby sterilizer.
Vitus
Our dishwasher on the "Intensive" mode produces 70C. We use it to sterilize jars and lids. Further, as written above, close the jars with lids and store until cooking.
julifera
Is a temperature of 70 degrees a sterilization?

I pour a little water into the jars at the bottom and put it in the microwave, boil it for a few minutes.
I take it out, drain the water, cooling it completely dry, while I chatter yogurt, you see - they are already dry.
I don’t sterilize the lids, many melt, but they don’t come in contact with yogurt, so if they introduce some microbes there, then it’s not critical

Strictly speaking in theory, 70C is pasteurization, during which 90% of microorganisms die. Sterilization can be achieved at temperatures of 135C and above. Then 100% of organisms will die. But it should be borne in mind that we use Amway's Dish Drops for dishwashers, and it, like a significant part of other powders, has an antibacterial component in its composition, due to which more than 90% of small-sized pearls should die.

Buying new jars is not a problem. Yesterday I would go to our Kiev Obolon in the pharmacy for sourdough - I saw there a spare set (6 pcs.) Of jars with lids. UAH 75 ~ 300 RUB

It's my pleasure. Other dishwasher powders, especially tableted according to the principle "all in one" - also have bactericidal properties.

Luysia
For those who do not live in Kiev: additional jars can be ordered at the service center (i.e., where Moulinex equipment is being repaired in your city).

I'm talking about Moulinex, because I ordered such jars myself, but for yogurt makers of another brand, it should probably be the same.

Rimma, can I find out where you bought such containers? I have been chasing such a 2nd year, something is no longer on sale. My favorite was broken by 1.1 liters. And I would buy the rest of the larger capacity.
Rimma71
Agata, they were sold everywhere, in all hardware stores, in accessories and dishes. I bought at Foxmart, saw at the foxtrot. If I see it somewhere, I will write.
Rimma71
Agata, went to Foxtrot today, there are such containers. 1.1 l - 75 UAH, 1.6 l - 80 UAH. Look, maybe you sell them too!
Marinka_ja
And I just pour boiling water over and that's it ... I don't put it anywhere, I don't keep any boiling water in the jar - I immediately rinse it and pour it out ... Maybe this is not enough? Although the yogurt seems to be excellent :)

today my husband gave Mulinex a yoghurt! I am very happy. but with joy came sorrow .... before the first use, I decided to sterilize in a double boiler. so the caps curled up into a tube, she herself was upset to the point of tears, so I also don’t want to upset my husband. who knows if caps are sold separately?
Luysia
peva, call the service center, I don't remember if the caps can be ordered separately.

But jars with lids are definitely possible. And yet, if you decide to buy jars with lids, then order a set of 7 jars, and not separately (it will be cheaper).

If you needed one cap, then I would give it to you ...

I will call tomorrow. thanks for the support.

When I bought a yogurt maker, and that was about 5 years ago, I also dreamed of buying additional jars, but then I realized that jars from under baby food are perfect for the Mulinex yogurt maker (I have one). And if you take from the food company HAME, then there are exactly 7 of them, just like relatives, but the volume is more included, which is convenient. Well, the caps are iron!

Girls! Dishes must be sterilized - this is the law of yoghurt making.
I think the safety of my family is worth the extra couple of minutes on this matter. But what a problem - they poured boiling water over it and poured it out, it’s a matter of fact .. To poison yourself with sour milk is a very simple matter, and it’s not a fact that you will be able to notice that something is wrong with it.
Just consult a specialist.

(And sweets - well add after, before use, who forbids?)

I make yoghurt from Vivo vials. For the uterine starter, I boil milk, a spoon, and a jar, because I’m in a liter jar and I have it in my refrigerator for about a week. And while making yogurt for consumption, I am already relaxing, well, we eat it right away in one day. You have to make a new portion every day. I put in a lot of starter cultures - it turns out in four hours it is fermented. Therefore, I am so indifferent to sterilization of jars. But if you do it for the masik, I think it is necessary to sterilize it.
And dry starter cultures (from bottles, bags, etc.) are really much better and healthier - welcome to Temka about yoghurts on prebiotics

Yes, it's not about "Therefore, I am so indifferent to sterilization of jars" - people are indifferent or sterilize because they want to invent an unnecessary activity for themselves, but that if there are some bacteria in the jar, they can simply interfere with the fermentation of yogurt (in other words, these bad bacteria will defeat the good ones in yogurt and it will remain just sour milk) - yogurt will not work. Therefore, no one will be poisoned - there will be nothing to poison with, since the yoghurt is not fermented due to the fault of these bacteria.
Therefore, I am in favor of sterilizing the jars both for safety reasons and in order to be more confident in the success of the final product preparation.
New vitamin
Girls! Well, with my bread leaven, which lives at room temperature, and various bacteria multiply in it, now I began to feel bad
But seriously, everyone decides for himself. After a year of fermenting yoghurts, I don't want to sterilize these jars, make unnecessary body movements This is probably how to iron baby diapers or not

In no case do I urge you to refuse sterilization if you are doing this or are just starting to make yoghurts..

But the big problem is that someone does not sterilize I do not see. This is my personal opinion, sorry (I didn’t look into the microscope). But curdled milk is made with unboiled milk and left at room temperature for a long time. Good bacteria in large numbers should defeat bad ones. And when we ferment, we provide just such a large amount. On this I base my opinion. It seems to me that the fermentation temperature is more influential than the sterilization of cans. It turns out the same from time to time in unsterilized quality product.

And again I repeat, I do not urge you not to sterilize. The final product is more expensive

+100 Lozya,
I don't understand: why bother with homemade yoghurts at all, if you are too lazy to sterilize the dishes?
The temperature for fermenting yogurt was not chosen by chance: it is at this temperature that bacteria grow best. The problem is that this temperature is ideal for growing not only the beneficial bacteria we need, but also harmful ones. If you do not sterilize the dishes, it is not known what you will grow instead of yogurt or simultaneously with it.Maybe it will, or maybe it will. Maybe something worse will happen.
But Lozya is right - not sterilizing spoons, us you do not harm. So don't sterilize yourself any further. Until then, until it does. Then either quit playing "yogurt" (because what you grow is half-slices, not yogurt), or you will start to sterilize.
With all due respect
