yogurt maker

also called yoghurt maker

A cooking appliance that makes yogurt by INCUBATION rather than cooking: it holds milk plus a live culture at a steady low fermentation temperature (around 38-43 C) for several hours so bacteria thicken it. It neither browns, boils, fries nor crock-cooks; its heat is a held incubation warmth (preset on basic models, thermostat-adjustable on others). Beyond that it answers its batch capacity (the total volume of yogurt per batch — the headline spec, stated directly by a single-bowl model, or jars x jar-volume for a multi-jar one) and, on the multi-jar form, its jar count (the set of individual serving jars it ships with). Distinct from a multicooker with a 'yogurt' program (a pressure-crock cooker offering yogurt as one cooking_program value — not a dedicated incubation box; a real yogurt maker has no crock, no pressure, no cooking), and from a non-powered cooler-and-towel method (unpowered, no held temperature).
