I haven't made yogurt in a long while.....when I did it for my young kids, I used organic milk and as a starter an organic yogurt like a plain stoneyfield. That was it. I used an extremely large measuring cup and rested it overnight in my then gas oven. With my daughter into greek yogurt, I am going to have to give this another try! Gas oven is long gone so hope it will rest well in the non-gas oven
