Have you ever tried making tempeh and finally given up? Well, you are not alone.

Making tempeh is not hard if you know how to make them. And an important part of knowing how to make good tempeh is a good incubator. If you do not have the right incubator to grow the tempeh you will not get good tempeh consistently, or often no tempeh at all.                              

What is good tempeh? A good tempeh looks, smells, and tastes good. The tempeh should be white on the outside, firm and compact on the inside, and smells and tastes like good mushroom or has a pleasant oncom (ontjom) aroma. The fermented tempeh beans are soft like cheese.

If you want to make good tempeh you should invest in a good incubator, and you will be happy with your tempeh. Just like investing in a good oven where you must be able to closely control the temperature of the oven so that you can bake a cake that looks and taste like a cake, and not like something else. Do not use card boxes, styrofoam ice chests, and the like to make your tempeh incubator. You will not only be wasting your time, but you also won't like the taste of your tempeh.

In the following pages I will show you the links that you can click to learn the basics of making tempeh, and I will show you what I believe is the best incubator for its price that you can buy for making tempeh at home plus pictures, and other tips and hints that will help you make delicious tempeh and tempeh dishes.

Finally, be persistent. Practice makes perfect.
