Having recently been sent the Hansells easy-to-use yoghurt maker to try, here's how I got on. I received the yoghurt maker starter kit.

Yoghurt contains 4 active, live cultures, including acidophilus and Bifidus. Suitable for vegetarians and gluten-free. Plus, yoghurt is fresher than ready-to-eat yoghurt from the chiller shelf.
Everything you need to make your own yoghurt is included: a yoghurt maker, six yoghurt sachets, one 1kg tub, and two 500ml tubs - perfect for taking your yoghurt with you on the go.
How to make yoghurt with the Hansells Yoghurt Maker
It's really simple to use too - just 3 steps.
Mix with cool water
Half fill the yoghurt tub with clean drinking water (15-20⁰C °C). Add yoghurt mix, secure lid and shake well. Makeup to the 1kg level with more cool water. Replace the lid, shake well, then release air from the container and reseal.
Into the yoghurt maker
Pour boiling water into your yoghurt maker to the specified line. Place the tub into the yoghurt maker and immediately shut the lid.
To set the yoghurt
Leave for 8 hours or overnight until set. Remove from the maker and place in the fridge to cool. Some separation may occur. Gently stir before serving to produce a smoother texture, if desired. Hansells Yoghurt will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
My thoughts
The finished yoghurt was truly impressive -thick, creamy, and packed with flavour.
Having used Easiyo, a similar yoghurt maker, in the past, I have to say I much prefer Hansells. The mix blends effortlessly just by shaking the container - no whisk needed!
So, whilst the Easiyo really needs a whisk to mix properly. 😉
The Hansells containers are a great shape for the fridge, and you can actually make two different flavours at the same time simply by using half a sachet in each 500g container; two 500g containers sit side by side in the yoghurt maker.
I've found the seals on the containers are excellent too, and better than the brand I just mentioned.
Making your own yoghurt means it's far fresher than supermarket yoghurt and contains 4 active live cultures, including acidophilus and Bifidus, which is great for helping the digestive system break down food.
There are no artificial colours or flavours and no stabilisers or preservatives.
So, all in all, the Hansells Yoghurt Maker gets a big fat YES from me!
Each sachet produces 1kg of yoghurt; extra sachets are available too and can be used in any yoghurt maker.
Flavours available
Classic or Greek-style yoghurt, regular or ‘lite’ low-fat version, and include honey, strawberry and vanilla.
The Hansells Yoghurt Maker makes a fantastic gift for health-conscious foodies, vegetarians, mums, and elderly relatives.

Thanks for the review, I was tossing up between the Hansells and Easi-yo so that seals it for me :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously this is, in my opinion, far better, Happy yoghurt making!
