Yogurt Face-Off: Instant Pot vs. Sous Vide | Consumer Reports

You can save money and avoid added sugar by making your own yogurt at home. There are also products that can help. CR pits the instant pot vs. the sous vide …
I've made yogurt in mt instant pot and it came out just fine. Same as the oven in fact. I'm going to try my sous vide though since it makes great creme brulee
I've been using IP for my yogurt for years. The recipes vary depending on the milk, the culture (which base yogurt was used), and other factors. Each batch can be a little different. Not sure one test should be your basis of conclusion. Not a good test CR.
Adding to the instant pot comment. My yogurt in the instant pot has always turned out. That said, I now use the sous vide method on my instant pot and the results are incredible.
Perhaps Consumer Reports does not understand the sous vide functionality of an INSTAPOT? The temperature And pressure is controlled by a microprocessor. You sound silly comparing either to manual methods, and unwise putting the lack of pressure control in the sous vide against the Instapot. More research please.

I use sous vide and always comes out perfect.
TOTALLY DISAGREE on your IP yogurt experience. Mine comes out wonderful every single time. After 8 hrs, I transfer it into a cheese cloth lined colander and place it in the fridge. I can vary the time and get it to the consistency I want from creamy to almost near mozzarella cheese density.
I've made some of the best yogurt I've ever had in an Instant Pot… granted I strained it with cheese cloth to make greek yogurt
That's not my experience with making yogurt using the Instant Pot. Mine always comes out thick and even. Perhaps the recipe I used is different.
I make yogurt in my instapot quite regularly, letting it incubate for 10 hours. That gives me consistent results. You've got something wrong with your method.
Oven or pot on for five to eight hours I DON'T think so !! The cost and time far out weigh any benefits !!
I've never had a problem making yogurt in my Instant Pot – I do it weekly. I use lactose free milk so I can skip the boiling step and just incubate it for 8 hours. Your tester may not have mixed the yogurt into the milk thoroughly enough and that's why she got such a poor result.
Vegan yoghurt please
