| Let a Yobot make creamy and delicious fresh yogurt. |
Sebastopol, CA—Ever since über-chef Thomas Keller (The French Laundry, Per Se) introduced sous vide cooking techniques to his four-star eateries, water immersion control cooking is all the rage. Long the sole purview of professional kitchens, you can now buy a sous vide machine for the home—if you want to spend upwards of $500. With a little wit and just $75, MAKE Magazine Volume 25 shows you how to create your own sous vide cooker easily and inexpensively. (To watch it in action, go to makezine.com/25/sousvide, where you can see Cooking for Geeks author Jeff Potter using his own homemade sous vide machine to delicious effect.)
MAKE Vol. 25 takes on the kitchen through a variety of fun, easy, and inexpensive projects. MAKE and its sister publication, CRAFT, have pulled together the best DIY projects for the kitchen in just one place: blog.craftzine.com/archive/food. There, you'll learn how to create your own yogurt-making robot, the Yobot, with just a crockpot and an easily obtained Arduino microcontroller. And what's better than fresh honey on homemade yogurt? Using just a barrel, some lumber, a bungee cord, and screws, you can construct the "Honey Cow," a beehive that encourages the insect's natural comb-building behavior, making extraction easier for you.
MAKE Magazine is the freshest, widest-ranging DIY technology magazine in the world, focusing on everything from robots, rockets, and electronics to home, kitchen, and crafts.
