Yogurt Program

You only need two ingredients to make yogurt at home: any type of milk and
plain store-bought yogurt (with live active cultures) or starter yogurt.
Choosing the Milk:
The following types of milk may be used:
1. Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1% or skim milk)
2. Powdered milk
3. Long-life UHT sterilized milk
4. Soy Milk. Be sure to use UHT soy milk, which contains one of the following
ingredients: fructose, honey, or malt. These ingredients are necessary for
fermentation and you cannot be successful if none are available in the milk.
Live Active Cultures-Unflavored Yogurt:
All you need is a small amount of plain, unflavored yogurt with live active cultures,
often called probiotics. The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or
used from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. Homemade yogurt can only
be used a maximum of 2 times as starter yogurt. If you use the store bought
yogurt and prefer a particular brand, try using that one as a starter.
The Live & Active Culture seal, from the National Yogurt Association (NYA), helps
you recognize those products containing significant amounts of live and active
cultures. The seal is a voluntary identification available to all manufacturers of
yogurt whose products contain at least 100 million cultures per gram at the time
of manufacture. Since the seal program is voluntary, some yogurt products may
have some live cultures but not carry the seal.

Note: For 5 cups of milk use a ½ cup of plain yogurt or 1 packet starter
culture. For 1 cup of milk use about one tablespoon of plain yogurt.
NOTE: You can make yogurt either directly in the removable cooking pot or
using glass jars in the removable cooking pot by placing them on a steamer.
Yogurt Making Process:
1. Take the starter yogurt from the refrigerator so that it has time to get closer to
room temperature while you heat the milk.
2. Place the amount of milk desired in the removable cooking pot. Place the lid
on the cooker, turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM and heat the milk
to 180°F-185°F by pressing the YOGURT function ONCE and then pressing
START/STOP. The temperature icon blinks while the unit is heating. The
display reads HEAT, and once the milk reaches the proper temperature of
180°F-185°F, the unit beeps and goes to standby mode. Use a thermometer
to make sure that proper temperature has fully reached.
NOTE: The unit only detects the proper temperature of 180°F-185°F when a
half gallon (8 cups) of milk is used. If using a different amount of milk, please
use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has fully reached.
If needed run the HEAT program again to get to the proper temperature.
3. Remove the removable cooking pot from heat and allow the milk to cool to
anywhere between 100°F-110°F. To accelerate the cooling down process,
place the removable cooking pot in cold water. Do not let it cool below 90°F.
Use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has been reached.
4. Stir in the plain yogurt or starter culture packet and use a silicone whisk to
mix it with the milk until the consistency is smooth with no lumps remaining.
5. Place the lid on the multi-cooker; align the locking pin on the lid with the
open lock symbol and turn it counterclockwise until the locking pin clicks into
place. Turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM when using the yogurt
program. Press the YOGURT button TWICE. The preset cooking time is
8 hours. Depending on the flavor of yogurt you like best, you can choose
how long to cook the yogurt for by pressing the + or - button once for each
additional half hour or to decrease the time by a half hour. To fast advance,
hold the button down until you reach the desired cooking time. The longest
cooking time is 24 hours. The preparation time impacts the yogurt taste.
With longer cooking time, the yogurt will have a more tart flavor. With shorter
time, the yogurt will have a milder flavor.
