Who says you need a yogurt maker to make yogurt? According to Phyllis Hobson in the cookbook "500 Treasured Country Recipes by Martha Storey and Friends," you can make yogurt in a thermos, an oven, on a heating pad, in the sun, on a woodstove, and in a crock pot or Instant Pot. All of these methods are very easy and simple to achieve the perfect yogurt for your taste buds. Which method you choose just depends on how long you're willing to wait for the yogurt to come together.
