Total volume
The total volume of the device allows you to estimate how much product can be prepared in it at a time. In ice cream makers and yogurt makers with a bowl for cottage cheese, the volume is determined by the capacity of this bowl. And if there are several working glasses, the total volume is equal to the sum of all the containers.
Volume of 1 glass
The volume of a separate working container for yoghurt. The division of the total volume into separate glasses simplifies the dosage and speeds up the process of preparing yoghurt; in addition, in this way you can more accurately choose the volume of preparation — after all, it is not always necessary to prepare a full yoghurt maker, sometimes it is enough to “load” only a part of the glasses.
Number of glasses
The number of individual working containers (glasses) of the yoghurt maker. Dividing the total volume into several small containers speeds up the cooking process and facilitates dosage; also yoghurts with different additives can be prepared at the same time in different glasses thanks to this.
Bowl for cottage cheese
Unlike individual glasses for yoghurt, the
container for cottage cheese is one utensil that occupies the entire useful volume of the yoghurt maker. Such a scheme is optimal for the preparation of cottage cheese and sour cream, since in this case it most often does not make sense to divide the product into small volumes (as is done with yoghurt).
Number of programs
The presence
of several programs in the device allows you to cook various products without any hassle. The yoghurt maker itself adjusts the right time (and sometimes temperature) for preparing a given dairy product.
Shutdown timer
The shut-off timer automatically switches off the device after the time required to prepare yogurt or ice cream has elapsed. Thus, you can avoid worrying about confusing the shut-off time and “overcooking” or “undercooking” the product. It is important to remember that it is advisable to immediately place the finished yogurt or ice cream in the refrigerator, so the presence of a shut-off timer does not eliminate the need to pay significant attention to the preparation process.
Display
The display makes the device easier to operate, making it more visual. The device screen can display the selected cooking program, the time remaining until the end of the process, information about the delayed start and other similar parameters.
