Question 1

Do I need to put water in the bottom of the Moulinex DJC2 yogurt maker for it to work?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not necessary to put water in the bottom of the Moulinex DJC2 yogurt maker. This yogurt maker operates by direct heating of the jars and not by a bain-marie system like some models. The bottom of the device should remain empty.

Here are the steps to prepare your yogurts:

Carefully mix 1 liter of milk with the starter (store-bought plain yogurt, homemade yogurt, or freeze-dried starter). Whisk the yogurt to obtain a smooth paste before adding the milk while continuing to whisk.
Distribute the mixture into the provided jars.
Place the jars without their lids in the yogurt maker.
Put the main lid (A) on the yogurt maker and plug it in.
Select the fermentation time (usually 8 to 15 hours depending on the quality of the milk used) using the timer or switch according to your model.
Let the yogurt maker run without disturbing it, keeping it away from vibrations and drafts.

Practical tip: During fermentation, place the date lids (C1) on top of the main lid of the yogurt maker rather than on the jars, so they are nearby for sealing.

After fermentation, gently remove the main lid, avoiding condensation from dripping into the jars, then close each jar with its lid and refrigerate for at least an hour before enjoying.

Question 2

Does the Moulinex DJC2 yogurt maker have a rotation function during fermentation?

Accepted Answer

The Moulinex DJC2 yogurt maker does not have a rotation function during fermentation. This model has been designed to create a stable and motionless environment, which is essential for the successful fermentation of milk into yogurt. Unlike some more sophisticated devices, the DJC2 operates on a simple principle: maintaining a constant temperature without any mechanical movement of the jars.

The DJC2 comes in two versions to set the fermentation time. On the version without an electronic timer, a graduated rotary knob from 1 to 12 located on the lid allows you to indicate the time at which the yogurts will be ready. For example, if you start fermentation at noon and want a time of 8 hours, you set the knob to the number 8. On the version with an electronic timer, you simply select the duration via the timer button, and the device automatically stops once the time is up.

The fermentation duration varies from 8 to 15 hours depending on the type of milk used. Throughout this process, the jars remain motionless inside the device, allowing the cultures to gradually transform the milk into yogurt. It is important not to move the yogurt maker during its operation and to place it in a location free from vibrations or drafts, in order to ensure consistent fermentation and a uniform final texture.

This absence of mechanical movement is actually an advantage for home yogurt makers like the DJC2, as it promotes a good texture and stable fermentation of the yogurt. Once fermentation is complete, you should refrigerate the yogurts for at least one hour before consuming them, or wait 24 hours for a firmer texture.

Question 3

What is the function of the graduated button from 3 to 15 on the Moulinex DJC2 blender?

Accepted Answer

The graduated button from 3 to 15 on the Moulinex DJC2 blender is used to adjust the rotation speed of the device. Each number corresponds to a different speed level:

Low speed (3-6): suitable for gently mixing delicate ingredients or for preparing delicate sauces.
Medium speed (7-11): ideal for blending thicker preparations or for chopping food.
High speed (12-15): used for quickly grinding, emulsifying, or liquefying harder or bulkier ingredients.

By adjusting this button, you can tailor the blender's power according to the desired texture and type of ingredients, allowing for optimal results in your culinary preparations.
