I've been trying to find a slow cooker or multicooker that can drop down
ot very low temperatures. Specifically, something that can go down to
at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit for making yogurt. I'm about to give up
and just rely on a heating pad, but I thought I'd post in a last gasp here.

One thing that's really getting in the way is an unspecific "warm"
setting. No products define generally what that temperature will map to.

I was hoping to find a digital model with a timer that had this
capability. It looks like I'll settle for a old analog one -- with
something hooked in to the power to step down the power. I was told
generally The off/low/high cookers really are 0 plates/1 plate/2 plates,
and a plate that's on is just on all the way. So if I restrict the
power, that will take care of it. I can't really play games like that
with a digital model; the power consumption is low, but I don't how the
reduced power will work with the electronics.

Mom and I used to make our yogurt in a glass gallon jar...
We put it into an ice chest filled with hot water the afternoon before
and always has a nice solid gallon of yogurt the next morning after the
hot water cooled off.

Worked great! :-) And it's SO easy to make it and if you use powdered
milk like we did, you end up with fat free yogurt.
