Operating your Yoghurt Maker
USING YOGHURT SACHETS
Use commercially available yoghurt
sachets that include milk solids and
yoghurt culture. These are available from
supermarkets nationwide.
Following the directions on the sachet, mix
the contents of the sachet with clean water
in a jug. The yoghurt sachet directions
usually state to add water to the sachet
contents up to a total volume of 1.0L.
(Note that is not adding1.0L of water to the
sachet contents, rather it gives a total
volume of 1.0L including the sachet
contents.)
Whisk/beat contents and water together
until smooth then pout into the Yoghurt
Maker’s inner bowl. Place internal lid and
external lids in position. Plug in Yoghurt
Maker and turn on at power outlet.
Leave Yoghurt Maker overnight, or for 7 ½
to 12 hours. Generally, the longer you
leave the yoghurt in the Yoghurt Maker, the
thicker it will become.
DO NOT move the Yoghurt Maker while it
is in use.
DO NOT place the Yoghurt Maker where it
will be exposed to draughts or vibrations.
When you remove the yoghurt from the
Yoghurt Maker, be careful to prevent
condensation on lid from dripping into
bowl.
When you remove yoghurt from the
Yoghurt Maker, place the yoghurt it in the
fridge for 8-12 hours before eating. DO
NOT place the Yoghurt Maker unit in the
fridge. You may need to stir the yoghurt
before consuming.
Refer to yoghurt sachet for instructions
regarding how long the yoghurt can be
kept.
USING YOGHURT STARTER
Yoghurt starters (eg freeze-dried) are
available in New Zealand via specialist
online retailers, though not generally in
supermarkets.
Whereas supermarket-stocked sachets
usually contain milk solids and are added
to water, yoghurt starters contain the
culture but no milk solids, and are
generally added to warmed milk before
placing in the Yoghurt Maker,
Yoghurt starters vary in their composition
and in how they are used. Follow the
directions on the packet of your chosen
yoghurt starter. Unused yoghurt starter can
usually be usually be stored in the fridge or
freezer; refer to the instructions on the
yoghurt starter packaging.
Just as with sachets, you will need to
experiment to achieve your preferred
consistency.
