USING THE YOGURT PRESET
Prior to using the Yogurt preset
(which maintains the correct
temperature for creating
yogurt), you must boil the
milk using the Steam or Sauté
function first.
HOW TO MAKE YOGURT IN A PRESSURE COOKER
If making your yogurt in jars, it is
best to use the Steam function to
begin.
1.
Place the inner pot into the
cooker and place the rack into
the pot.
2.
Fill mason jars with milk and
place them onto the rack inside
the pot (without lids). Add ½ cup
of water to the pot and close the
pressure cooker lid.
3.
Select the Steam preset and
adjust the pressure to low.
Adjust the time to 1 minute.
The pressure cooker will start
automatically after 10 seconds.
4.
Once the pressure cooker
beeps, use the pressure release
switch to release any remaining
pressure before opening the lid.
Carefully remove the mason jars
from the cooker and place onto
a heat resistant surface. Allow
milk to cool down to 115°F (use an
external thermometer).
NOTE:
Use tongs or oven mitts
to remove the mason jars, as the
jars and contents will be very hot.
5.
Once the milk has cooled down,
add your yogurt or yogurt starter
to the milk and stir until there are
no chunks.
6.
Place the jars back into the
cooker and close the lid.
7.
Select the Yogurt preset and
select a cook time between 6-24
hours. The longer you set it for,
the tangier your yogurt will be.
8.
When finished, use tongs to
remove the mason jars, add the
lids and store for later! For Greek
yogurt, strain the yogurt prior to
storing.
If making your yogurt in one large
batch, it is best to use the Sauté
function to begin.
1.
Place the inner pot into the
cooker and place the rack into
the pot.
2.
Pour 1/2 gallon of milk into the pot.
3.
Select the Sauté function, and
gently stir the milk as it heats up.
Sauté the milk until it reaches a
temperature of at least 180°F.
Turn off the sauté function and
allow the milk to cool to 115°F.
4.
Once the milk has cooled down,
add your yogurt or yogurt starter
to the milk and stir until there are
no chunks.
5.
Close the pressure cooker lid and
select the Yogurt preset. Choose
a cook time between 6-24 hours.
The longer you set it for, the
tangier your yogurt will be.
6.
When finished, place yogurt in a
container for storing. For Greek
yogurt, strain the yogurt prior to
storing.
