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. Leave the
lid off and heat the milk to 180-185°F by pressing the SLOW COOK LOW
function. Use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has been
reached.
3. Remove the removable cooking pot from heat and allow the milk to cool to
lukewarm (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. 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.
Do NOT use a metal whisk as it will scratch the non-stick surface of the
removable cooking pot.
5. Place the lid on the Multi-cooker; align the handle with the condensation
collector (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. 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 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.
6. Press the START/STOP button to begin the yogurt function. The unit will begin
to count down in 1 minute increments once the correct temperature has been
reached.
7. When the yogurt is ready, remove the lid. There may be some yellowish
liquid, whey, on top of the yogurt. This is normal, whey contains nutrients and
protein. Mix it back into the yogurt.
8. If you prefer regular yogurt, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours
before serving, or until yogurt cools down. If you prefer making Greek yogurt,
please refer to page 22.
NOTE: THE MULTI-COOKER SHOULD REMAIN PERFECTLY STILL DURING
THE COOKING PROCESS. DO NOT MOVE THE APPLIANCE; DO NOT REMOVE
THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT OR THE LID AS THIS WILL AFFECT THE
FIRMNESS OF THE YOGURT. DO NOT ADD ANY FLAVORING BEFORE
COMPLETING THE YOGURT MAKING PROCESS.
Yogurt Making in Glass Jars:
