Homemade yogurt in the crockpot

I was wanting to get a yogurt maker but then read on another blog that making yogurt in the crockpot IS possible. It is so easy too!

Ingredients
8 cups (half-gallon) of whole milk
1/2 cup store-bought natural, live/active culture plain yogurt (you need to have a starter. Once you have made your own, you can use that as a starter)
thick bath towel

Plug in your crockpot and turn to low. Add an entire half gallon of milk. Cover and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.

Unplug your crockpot. Leave the cover on, and let it sit for 3 hours.

When 3 hours have passed, scoop out 2 cups of the warmish milk and put it in a bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup of store-bought live/active culture yogurt. Then dump the bowl contents back into the crockpot. Stir to combine.

Put the lid back on your crockpot. Keep it unplugged, and wrap a heavy bath towel all the way around the crock for insulation. Let it sit for 8 hours.

Fresh yogurt will last 7-10 days. Save 1/2 cup as a starter to make a new batch. It isn't quite as thick as store bought, but still has a nice consistency.

I'm so excited about this, but now need to think of ways to use all this fresh yogurt I made. Any ideas?
