Total volume
The total volume of the yoghurt maker, which determines how much product can be cooked in it at a time. In yoghurt makers with a bowl for cottage cheese, the volume is determined by the capacity of this bowl; otherwise, the total volume is equal to the sum of the volumes of the yoghurt cups.
Shutdown timer
The shutdown timer automatically turns off the yoghurt maker after the time required to make yoghurt. Thus, you can not be afraid to confuse the shutdown time and "overexpose" or "underexpose" the product. However, note that it is advisable to immediately place the finished yogurt in the fridge, so even the presence of a shutdown timer does not eliminate the need to pay considerable attention to the cooking process.
