Acidophilus makes yogurt a bit more tart than starter without it. This starter makes a nice creamy yogurt that's not too tart. It's the only starter I use now. I make yogurt several times a week.

Nice mixer for the money. Makes a great smoothy, milk shake or fresh fruit mash for an ice cream topper. Its a bit big and bulky and be sure to wash right after use since it is one piece. May not stand up to a Pro but for fun household use it is just fine.

This product has only two racks, takes 30 minutes to start steaming, and the timer cannot be decreased or stopped after it has been set, so if you set it for 45 minutes but then realize your food might be ready after 40 minutes, your only recourse is to pull the power cord or take the food out of the very hot steamer. I threw this product out after 2 days.

This all started a few months ago. I purchased a Magic Bullet. After like two uses O ring broke on blender and chopper very soon after. After that it leaked without seal when using liquids. Not good. Gave it away.
Next bought a cheap blender from Target. If I put more than 1 cup of tomato sauce or liquids it leaked through center opening post. Returned it to target.
Then I purchased this Girmi. This thing is powerful. Did a good job however if I added more than a cup of liquid it came out through center opening post down to rotator. and when I tried to pour a thick mixture into a small opening it was difficult. Easy to clean. I will be giving it away soon.
Then I purchased Hamilton Beach 80384 Deluxe. This does a great job as did Girmi at chopping Ceylon cinnamon sticks except same problem if you start using liquid or more than a cup it squirts out from top around stainless bowl and out. not good.
I tried using some cat food lids to cover stainless bowl and then using a paper clip, push activator switch in real of unit. Not good. Liquid comes out. Then found a cat/dog food lid at Petmart. You can see it at [...] it is one with like two recess edges and slit in top. It fits perfectly into top of Stainless bowl then using plastic outside cover of HB 80384 it fits into recess in top of plastic lid giving a greater seal. However you still have to use a paper clip to activate switch at rear. A little annoying so decided I needed a larger bowel and more sealing and chopping but not much more than a cup
Point of all this I am trying to mix Ceylon Cinnamon sticks with powdered Cocoa and Water or tomato sauce and spices with flax seed. Blenders will not chop up flax seed or Ceylon Cinnamon small enough. I do have a blender however it is too much trouble to first chop sticks in chopper and then transfer results to a blender for final blend. I'll be giving this one away too if Black & decker EHC650 works.
Now I purchased a Black & Decker EHC650 Ergo 3-Cup from Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow. Cup size is more than 1 which is good and less than 8 which is good. I sure hope it does Ceylon Cinnamon sticks than adding powdered Cocoa and water to produce a finish result in one bowl.
Black & Decker EHC 650 is totally useless at flax seed or Ceylon Cinnamon sticks. Bottom of motor as it faces plastic bowl gets splash up from swirling tomato sauce or Cocoa mix I mix up and you can't just put it under faucet to clean.
It appears to be easier to first chop flax or Cinnamon Sticks using Hamilton Beach 80384 then toss results into a cheaper Hamitlon Beach basic blender with plastic cup and lid for final processing.
Someone needs to come up with a good Chopper/blender that will do more than a cup and less than a pint and be liquid tight.
