Using Non-Pressure Cooking Smart Programs
Smart Program: Yogurt
The Yogurt Smart Program is a non-pressure cooking function with 3 preset
options to allow you to make different types of fermented dairy and non-dairy
recipes.
For best results, follow a recipe when making yogurt.
If you are starting with
unpasteurized
or
pasteurized
milk, follow all the steps in

If your milk is
ultra-pasteurized
, you may skip ahead to “Step 2 – Add Starter
Culture”. This method of yogurt making is called “cold start”.
What You’ll Need:
• Food Thermometer
• Milk or a non-dairy alternative
• Active yogurt culture
