YOGURT
You can make yogurt in your Magic Chef Multicooker by using glass bottles. Make sure they are heat-proof.
There are two steps involved to make yogurt. The first step is to pasteurize the milk by heating it to 180°F which
sanitizes the milk and kills pathogens and bacteria. The second step is to let it cool to 115°F, add the yogurt starter,
and then press the yogurt button to actually make the yogurt.
1.
Finish the "Cooking Preparation" according to page 14 of this manual.
2.
Pour 1 cup of water in the inner pot and place metal rack inside.
3.
Pour milk in your glass containers leaving some room to add the yogurt starter later on. Then place your
glass containers on the metal rack.
4.
Close the lid and turn the exhaust valve to "Sealing".
5.
Press the "Manual" button and then press the "-" button to change the time to 1 minute. Press the "Start"
button or wait 10 seconds to begin cooking. This will boil the milk to 180°F.
6.
Lines on the outside of the display will circle indicating it is preheating. Once the preheat time is complete,
it will show the 1 minute of cook time. Use the natural steam release method.
7.
Allow the milk to cool to below 115°F.
8.
Add the yogurt starter or fresh yogurt to the milk and stir. Place the containers back into the inner pot on
the metal rack.
9.
Put the lid on and turn the exhaust valve to "Sealing". Press the "Yogurt" button and use the "-" and "+"
buttons to select the correct time according to your recipe or yogurt starter.
