    This procedure is too time consuming and complicated for me. My old Instapot, a new gallon jug of pasteurized milk with Vitamin D, with a can of sweetened condensed milk, and yogurt starter works great with just pressing the yogurt button and waiting 8 hours. Perfect every time. Drain for Greek style using cheesecloth and sieve. Keeps in refrigerator at least a week; still fresh.

    I have a yogurt function on my Ninja but the temperature is too low to cause the reaction. Is there a way I can set it to 110 and bypass the default? I had to go back to my sous vide unit to heat the milk.

    My Foodi is an older model without the yogurt function, so I use my IP. I let the IP do the boil, then remove the pot and put it in a water ice bath in the sink. When it reaches 110°, I add the starter and ferment for 9 hours. It takes me about a little over an hour to make the yogurt. Have made homemade yogurt for years and love the flavor much better than store bought. I like to use organic whole milk, which gives the yogurt a better texture and flavor. I like my yogurt thick too, so I strain it for about 8 hours. I don't cool the yogurt before straining, and I still get a decent yield. One quart of strained yogurt produces about 3 cups of whey. I can also use the strained thicker yogurt like sour cream for salad dressings and other food dishes. Thanks for mentioning not to stir the bottom of the pot after the milk boils. The sediment on the bottom if mixed in will make the yogurt texture grainy and unpleasant to eat. I learned that the hard way the first time I made homemade yogurt.

    I LOVE regular yogurt but am not a fan of the Greek yogurt because of the tanginess. Can a yogurt like this be made in the Foodi? Is the regular yogurt not strained? Is that the difference between regular and Greek yogurt? How would you make a regular vanilla yogurt?

    Very nice. I make yogurt in my IP once every 2 weeks. I also strain it and usually get 1/2 gallon of yogurt per gallon of milk. The whey goes into my morning smoothie and bread doughs, as well as serving as the incubation source for the next batch. I use only whey to incubate the next batch: 1/4 cup. I freeze an ice tray of whey then bag the cubes until I need them.

    I use Fairlife milk and freeze-dried culture. I set a custom temperature of 110F on my instant pot. Set it at 6pm. 6am I have yogurt. I strain it for Greek yogurt. I save the whey that I use for bread making.
