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 in the steamer.

Yogurt Making Process:
1. Remove 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 multi-cooker, turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM and heat the
milk to 180°F-185°F by setting the YOGURT function to the HEAT setting and
pressing START/STOP. 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 reached.
NOTE: The unit only detects the proper temperature of 180°F-185°F when
a half gallon (8 cups) of milk is in use. If using a different amount of milk,
please use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has reached.
If needed, rerun the HEAT program again to get to the proper temperature.
3. Remove the removable cooking pot from heat using a kitchen towel or
oven mitts 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.
4. Add the 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 cooker; align the self-locking pin with the unlocked symbol
and turn your lid counterclockwise until the locking pin clicks into place. The
screen displays the Close Lid icon
