• Should I put yogurts in the refrigerator straight after the end of the
EN
heating cycle?
It is not essential. If you start the cycle at night, you can wait until you
get up to refrigerate them. You don't need to be there when the cycle
finishes.
•Sometimes condensation forms on the lid, what should I do?
This is normal. If there is significant steam condensation at the end of
the programme, lift the lid without tilting it and move it to the sink. This
will prevent drops of water from falling into freshly prepared yogurt.
• Do I have to use all the jars?
No. If you don't want to use all the jars, cover the unused spaces with the
jar lids or with empty jars.
• Do I add the sugar before or after?
You can add the sugar to the yogurt you are making at the same time
that you add the cultures. Before tasting you can also add sugar, honey,
vanilla sugar, syrup etc.
• A little tip for great yogurt...
To get firm and even yogurt, all the ingredients used should be at room
temperature.
• I love fruit yogurt. Can I add fresh fruit?
The acidity of fresh fruit can sour the yogurt, so we recommend adding
fruit in the form of jam, coulis or cooked fruit. Alternatively, you can add
fresh fruit at the time of tasting.
• Can I make two flavours/recipes at the same time?
It is possible to make several recipes at the same time as long as the same
programme and cooking times are used.
• How can you get a firmer yogurt?
The firmness of your yogurt will depend on three criteria: the type
of milk used, the fermentation time and the culture. To get very firm
yogurts, choose whole milk or add whole milk powder. As a culture, use a
commercial yogurt with as long a use-by date as possible. The longer you
let them ferment, the firmer the yogurts will be.
