Zigmund&Shtain YM-216DB

Not German at all

The Zigmund&Shtain YM-216DB yogurt maker, despite the German-sounding brand name, has nothing to do with Germany. Nevertheless, this is quite a solid technique that meets all modern European quality standards. This model, which is affordable for any buyer, has a good functional content and will last in the kitchen for a long time, delighting homemade sour-milk sweets. The device with a heating element power of 21.5 W has a built-in timer for 15 hours, allowing you to programme the duration of the cycle using an electronic control panel equipped with a display. You do not need to monitor the work of the kitchen assistant — after the specified time, the automation will automatically turn off the yogurt maker.

Works for two

The device is a plastic rectangular container for placing milk containers, which is covered with a transparent lid on top. The device is completed with 6 glass jars with plastic lids with a total volume of 1080 mL, as well as a large plastic bowl with a capacity of 1.5 liters with a lid. In addition, the manufacturer added 2 spare jars to the package as a gift. But the most important difference between this yogurt maker and other models is the large area of the heating bath, which allows you to install all the containers there at the same time. This is very convenient if you plan to cook both yogurt and cottage cheese at once. At the end of the yogurt preparation programme, you can remove the portion jars and leave the cottage cheese bowl to “languish” for a few more hours.
