Yogurt Cooking Mode
Basic Yogurt Cooking Directions
•
Place
at least
48 oz (6 cups) of fresh milk into a
high-sided saucepan (1 cup of milk makes about a
cup of yogurt) and place on a stove top burner set to
medium heat.
•
Meanwhile, set out your active yogurt culture to
warm to room temperature (see below for details).
•
Heat the milk to
180º F (82º C)
. If you do not have a
thermometer, heat the milk until it just starts to froth
but well before it boils.
•
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the milk
to cool to 110º F (43º C). If not using a thermometer,
wait until the pot is just cool enough to touch with
your bare hands (still very warm but not hot). It is
very important that the temperature is not too hot, or
you will kill the active cultures.
•
When the temperature reaches
110º F (43º C)
, add
about a cup of milk to your yogurt culture and stir to
distribute it evenly. Add the culture mixture to the
balance of the milk and stir until you have a smooth
mixture and then pour into your clay pot. And cover
with the clay pot lid.
•
Ensure the exterior of the pot is clean and dry.
•
Place covered clay pot into the Cooker on the
heating element.
•
Close the Cooker cover. You will hear a “click” when
it snaps shut. Plug cord into a 120-volt AC/60Hz
