Preparing yoghourt
▯
You can even prepare your own yogurt in the combi-
steam oven.
▯
Heat pasteurised milk to 90 °C on the hob to
prevent the yoghurt cultures from being overcome
by any unwanted microbes. Ultra-heat treated milk
(UHT milk) does not need to be heated. (Please
note: If you use cold milk to make yoghurt, the
incubation time will be longer).
▯
Important! Allow the milk to cool to 40 °C in a water
bath so that the yoghurt cultures are not destroyed.
▯
Stir some natural yoghurt with identified yoghurt
cultures into the milk (1–2 teaspoons of yoghurt per
100 ml).
▯
When using yoghurt ferment, follow the instructions
on the packet.
▯
Pour the yoghurt into clean jars.
▯
You can sterilise the washed jars in your combi-
steam oven at 100 °C and 100% humidity for 20–
25 minutes before pouring in the yoghurt. Make
sure that you allow the jars and the cooking
compartment to cool down before you pour in the
yoghurt and place the jars in the appliance.
▯
Once you have finished making the yoghurt, place it
in the refrigerator.
▯
To make thick yoghurt, add skimmed milk powder to
the milk before heating it (1–2 tablespoons per
litre).
Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Which foods are affected?
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products that are heated to high temperatures, such as
crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods
(biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).

increase the preparation time if necessary.
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing
food
General
Keep cooking times as short as possible.
Cook food until it is golden brown, but not
too dark. Large, thick pieces of food con-
tain less acrylamide.
Baking
With hot air at max. 180 °C.
Biscuits
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of
acrylamide. Spread out a single layer
evenly on the baking tray.
Oven
Chips
Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking
tray so that the chips do not dry out.
