Great idea I am saving this
Hi. Of all the videos on making yogurt in the IP I find yours the easiest. Can I use whole milk powdered milk? It's what I use in bread making and kefir so I have it on hand.
You can use regular one-quart mason jars in the 6-quart Instant Pot if you position them just right. That'll make a lot more in one batch.
Also and depending on the model, if you press the Yogurt button several times it will display "boil," which is the proper way to sterilize the milk. It's raise the milk temperature to 180 degrees, shut off, and display YOGT" (or something).
Not during the scalding process but during the incubation process can you use reusable plastic one piece lids?
Nope…there is a better way – cold start..check it out
Hello how are you?
I like your recipes, the Lux Mini Instant Pot, my Lux Mini does not have the button to make yogurt, what other option could I use to prepare the yogurt?
Thank you!
Is 12 hours the max time for the yogurt setting?
After the milk goes thru that 2 minute scald phase and you pull the jars out to cool…would that Technical be pasteurized milk? Could I just continue to cool it down and put in the fridge to drink? I wanted to use fresh raw goat's milk to drink and I am trying to find a easy way to pasturize it. Thank you so much I will make yogurt too!
Hello, can't wait to make yogurt in my new Instant Pot, thanks for the easy to follow instructions. I am not sure if you answered this question already but, is it necessary to add the dry milk powder?
Whoever posted about the Jars Lids on or Off.. UNLESS U WANT WATER FROM THE STEAM DRIPPING DOWN INTO YOUR JARS LEAVE THEM ON…WHILE COOKING OR STEAMING THE MILK BEFORE ADDING YOUR INGREDIENTS..
Hello, Thank you for posting this how-to. Following your directions, I made 2 batches of yogurt with fruit successfully a month or two ago. Those were my first and second attempts ever. Very pleased. =) Then, I got busy and wasn't able to make another batch for a few weeks. I've tried to make my 3rd attempts and 4th attempts since and I'm not sure what I'm doing differently (unknowingly) but while the milk is scalding, I hear some loud pops from within the pressure cooker. Sure enough when I open the instant pot (after de-pressurizing it), the glass mason jars have basically exploded with the bottom glass jar portion broken off and all the milk in the pot. What am I doing wrong that I didn't do the first times…? The only things I can think I might be doing in error is 1. tightening the lids too much??? and/or 2. shutting the vent when the milk is scalding??? Please help. =( Thank you for your time.
The correct temp. for incubating yogurt is 115 degrees.
Great video and recipe. Super easy. I make it plain and add whatever I have on hand. Also thick enough for sour cream substitute. Since I done have access to raw milk, I use store bought, and usually use 2%, or whole milk. If I use 2%, I add 11/2 T dry milk, and cook 10 hours.
Ive have a better idea. Go in the store and buy you a youghurt for 29 cents..
Thank you for this. I like that you scald the milk on pressure instead of heating it for a long time. Also, the information about sweetener and fruit – that's great! I think I'll try it with stevia and see how that turns out. Good tutorial!
Thanks for the video Im going to try making it in my new IP. Question, I dont really like greek yogurt, I like softer yogurt, how can i make a softer consistency. Also can I use organic low fat milk and stevia as a sweetener. Thanks again 🙂
all what you need is plan yogurt , the rest is not needed at all, after you steam it wait until it's cool down 90 degree and are you over it mix it very well and cover it and save it in a warm place for 8 to ten hours depending how warm the place up
I used the recipe and the yogurt turned out awesome. Thanx for sharing your recipe.
I was surprised to see that you put the lids on when you were scalding the milk, and then the video showed you taking the jars out of the instant pot without the lids on. Did I misunderstand about the lids being on?
How do you make the thick and creamy yogurt that yoplait used to have?
HI, This is Karen again. I am going to be making 1 jar tonight. I took the yogurt and strained it so I am going to use that in tonight's try. In your video after you add the yogurt it seems to me from the video that it is already thick because the fruit is laying on the top.Is this true? Because the ones I did it was still liquid and went down in the jar. Is this suppose to happen? How thick should it be at this point before adding the fruit? Wish me luck tonight. Thanks
Made mine and just took it out of the frig and it tastes great but it is very runny. What did I do wrong?
After posting I watched other video's doing this and they use the yogurt button for the 1st step. Is your way better than doing that?
Just received my instant pot going to try this tonight.Can't wait to give this a try. Do you have any other recipes to share using this pressure cooker? I see at the bottom you made baked beans and canned them. Did you do this in the pressure cooker? I would love to have this recipe and how you did the canning. I have an XL pressure and I can in that one. Do you know if you can do canning in the IP? I would love for you to make more videos using this cooker.Thanks Karen
I wanted to make sure about the milk. In the video you are using 1 1/2 cups of milk but in the recipe it says 1 1/3 cup which is the correct amount. I am going to be making this today. Look easy and I just got a pressure cooker yesterday. Thanks for making this video. Karen
I have standard mouth jars, I assume they will still work, hope so as I have my first batch in to scald now.
trying the yogurt. after i add all the stuff and put the lids back on do i put them on all the way or leave them loose?????
Thanks for this video. Pressured Prepped, cute name. I have a bunch of questions. Will the IP hold 4 jars? 2) It looks like you're using an infrared thermometer to check when it's safe to add the culture. Doesn't an IR thermometer just measure surface temperature when the temperature in the middle of the jar is much warmer? 3) Adding fruit and sugar before the incubation period; doesn't that start turning into alcohol? Thanks.
I'm trying this now. I'm so excited! I'm going to do 2 with fresh berries and 2 plain. 😊
Awesome job on the video!! I used one of the other videos and my yogurt was too thin. Yours was much easier to understand! Thanks for letting me know that if I bump the time up to 12 hours I will get a thicker yogurt. I'm trying to learn how to make Noosa Style yogurt, it is my favorite . Thanks again!
This recipe comes out very nice. Thick yogurt. I have a vanilla and nutmeg infused honey that I like to put on my yogurt after its cooled down. I skip the fruit. Thanks again for an easy to follow video that is worthwhile to watch.
I'm getting my IP on Wednesday, so I'm going to do this yogurt recipe this weekend. Thank you for simplifying this process! I do have a question about the starter: I have read that when using store bought yogurt for the starter, it will not last indefinitely as a packaged yogurt starter would. Has this been your experience?
Making it right now. You made it sound so much easier than the other videos I have watched.Thanks
The max is 4 pint jars.
Reg or Wide mouth size quart jars dont fit in the Instant Pot!
can you use quart jars ? If so, how many will fit into the pot?
do i have to use dry milk and sugar? what happens to the whey? can it be strained to make it more like greek yogurt? when choosing milk can i use half and half or heavy cream to create an even thicker yogurt?
DO you know if this can be made with Coconut milk that is homemade by me using coconut flakes, water and then ran thru the vitamix and strained thru nut bag? I know I would still need some sort of starter but I like how this is made with flavors as that is a request my family has asked for that I didnt think I could do 🙂 thanks for the video!
Do you add sugar, powered milk and yogurt to each jar or is that the total for the whole recipe?
I made yogurt last night!! I watched your video about 6 times during the process so I appreciate that it was short and easy to follow. Followed your recipe and it turned out great. Very creamy! I'm excited to try different flavors now. Do you think I could put vanilla extract in it when I put in sugar, powdered milk, and yogurt starter? I'm going to try skim milk too.
For step 1, do you cook the milk with the rings & lids on or off? It looked like when you took the jars out of the pot there were no lids.
Would love to see more instant pot videos! I'm considering buying one. Do you think it is worth the $?
