Get Cultured

Our Inventor, Bruce, took great inspiration from this piece in the New York Times. He realized quickly that he had been relying heavily on store bought, mass produced yogurt-- But, making yogurt at home was a simple and engaging process that could be completed in 5 easy steps.

Heat milk to about 200 Degrees-- keep it there for about 10 minutes
Cool the milk down to around 120 degrees
Add Culture (either a tiny amount amount of yogurt, or cheap/easy culture packets)
Let the milk/culture incubate overnight in a temperature controlled environment
Filter the Whey, throw it in the fridge & enjoy.

Bruce’s gorgeous Yogurt By You ignites this process with a non-electric yogurt cylinder designed specifically to help you through all the key steps of at-home yogurt making: insulating the culture, filtering the whey, and refrigerating the yogurt.

Insulating Culture

Yogurt By You’s double walled, insulated stainless steel cylinder will keep your milk & culture at the optimal temperature for the entire incubation period. The cylinder can make up to 1 quart of homemade yogurt (32oz, or 4 servings).

Filtering Whey

We’ve included a hard rubber colander which will allow you to easily filter the whey created during your Yogurt’s incubation period. The colander attaches to the both the top and the bottom of the cylinder.

Curved feet extend down to provide a space where the whey can run out into a sink or large bowl.

Refrigeration of the Yogurt

Yogurt By You serves as the perfect solution for storing and refrigerating your home-made yogurt until you’re ready to serve.

Added Perks

Dual compartments make for easy cleaning and storage.

Yogurt By You will ship with a variety of culture packets, as well as a book of over 50 yogurt recipes and a “How To Get Cultured” instruction manual. With the Yogurt By You kit, you’ll have everything you need to start making your own gourmet yogurt at home (except of course, you’ll need to buy the milk separately).

Beamer

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Quirky’s Beamer is an iphone case with a built in light. This light can dual function as a flash for your iphone’s camera as well as a light for use whenever you see fit - Dropped something under the table at dinner? Need a flashlight for your car? Squinting to read a menu in candlelight? Taking a picture in the dark? Beamer is the case that shines!

Beamer is a hard, durable plastic case with a friction-fit, 2 piece design. Beamer’s base slides out for quick insertion of your iphone. Turning on the light is easy. Simply press the silicone button once and the light will remain on for 10 seconds - leaving you with enough time to snap your picture. Pressing the button twice in a row will leave the light on indefinitely until you are ready to turn it off - to do so, just press the button a 3rd time.

Beamer’s super bright LED is powered by its own battery (residing on the inside of the case) so it does not drain any of your iphone’s battery. And not to worry, the button is set in a groove to avoid being accidentally turned on when in your pocket thus keeping the battery alive as long as possible.

You can choose from one of quirky's funky case colors. With the Beamer, all you iPhone-ers out there need not feel jealous of your Blackberry-ing friends. Now you too can have stellar phone pictures.

NOTE: Beamer will use replaceable Lithium coin cell batteries for an estimated life of about 10 hours of super bright illumination

StashCan

Description

Bags where they belong!

Quirky’s StashCan is a kitchen trash can with the added ability to store trash bags in the can itself. No more hassle with drippy bags, and time consuming trash removal. The StashCan makes your trash routine far simpler, cleaner, and speedier. (oh and it looks pretty too!)

Step on StashCan's foot pedal to open the lid to dispose of your garbage. Once your trash is full, simply open the stainless steel rimmed top and pull out the removable, lightweight, plastic liner containing the full trash. Remove your full trash bag and clean the liner (if necessary).

Replacing the liner with a new, unused trash bag is simple due to the storage unit in the top, rear of the can. Never search around your kitchen for trash bags again! This separate trash bag compartment allows new bags to be easily accessed by pulling upward on the next available bag in the roll or stack. Once replaced, pop the liner back into the StashCan.

With the StashCan, trash removal is a chore that you and your children won’t mind completing!

NOTE: trash bags not included.
