    Why is that you can still make viable yogurt when you haven't sterilized the inner stainless steel pot? I understand that the pot is clean but it is not devoid of bacteria. I was under the impression that once you put the milk in, you are mixing whatever bad bacteria in the inner pot with the milk so it was necessary to boil it in order to once again start with a clean foundation. Is this being too meticulous?
    Also, isn't that the longer you let your yogurt ferment in the instant pot, the more (hopefully) good bacterial cultures are inside? So a yogurt that has been cooking in the instant pot for 12hrs will have more beneficial bacteria than a batch that was allowed to go for 10hrs?

    @instapottin' with Poonam, I followed this recipe but have poured into 6 little Mason jars instead of filling up the inner pot, hopefully it'll still work the same. Love watching your videos btw… Easy to follow. Thank you.

    Hi Poonam, thank you for the easy yogurt video! I'm new to Instant Pot and will be trying my hand at yogurt tonight. Question, when you time your yogurt for 10 hours, is the taste/texture about the same/equal to that of Fage yogurt or would 8 hours equal that taste/texture?

    you missed the first 12 steps of making yogurt with the instant pot. we followed this video and ended up with a slimy white mess. for everyone that wants real yogurt do these things before you do what poonam does.

    PHASE ONE: HEAT THE MILK
    Make sure the vent on top of the unit is turned toward "sealing" and the unit is plugged in.
    With the inner pot in place, pour in 1/2 gallon whole (I like organic) milk.
    Push the Yogurt button, then Adjust.
    The word "More" will light up, and the word "Boil" will appear on the display.
    The unit will then begin heating the milk. It took exactly 26 minutes for the Instant Pot to heat 1/2 gallon of milk to 180°F, the target temperature for Phase One. "Yogt" appears on the display when complete.
    Remove the lid from the Instant Pot. Do not let condensation from the lid drip into the milk.
    In order to "hold" the milk at 180°F for 5 minutes, press Yogurt and Adjust again. This turns the heat back on. Even though the lid is now off and the milk won't reach a boil, this additional heating time will ultimately create thicker yogurt without the need for milk powders or other thickeners. Hit Keep Warm/Cancel when complete.

    PHASE TWO: COOL THE MILK
    Unplug the unit. Carefully remove the inner pot and place on a wire rack. Cool the milk to 115°F, the target temperature for Phase Two. To speed cooling, set the inner pot (only! not the entire Instant Pot!) in a shallow bowl of icy water and stir gently. Test the milk frequently with a thermometer or affix a candy thermometer to the side of the pot. Without the ice bath, the cooling process took 37 minutes. Lift off and discard any milk "skin."

    PHASE THREE: INOCULATE WITH A STARTER CULTURE
    Place 2 tablespoons active yogurt into a medium bowl. This is your starter.
    Ladle 1/2 cup of the warm milk into the starter. Scrape the milky starter back into the inner pot.
    Return the inner pot to the Instant Pot. Remove the thermometer. Close the lid. Plug in the unit. Make sure the vent points towards "sealing." (UPDATE: During this phase, the vent can actually be pointed in either direction.)

    This method looks so easy and nice. Your videos are great!!

    Unfortunately as FairLife's cows are fed Genetically Modified Grain & their product is in non-decomposing, leaching, toxic, plastic containers; cancer, infertility…… our family chooses to use milk from our local dairy's organically fed/pasture-grazing cows, which is in raw form and delivered in glass jars.

    Keep your beautiful recipes coming though with your beautiful family <3

    What an easy and good recipe! Poured in a half gallon whole milk, stirred in a heaping tablespoon of Nancy's yogurt, put on the lid, set the yogurt timer for 8 hours! Excellent yogurt. You may want to drain the whey for a creamier product. Easy, straightforward and yummy. Thanks for another winner.

    I have watched your other awesome videos but this one is most confusing. By reading the comments i think i have some idea. What does the yogurt setting actually do? Meaning i can leave the yogurt out on kitchen counter as well and it will take 8 hours. I understand its my preference but would like to understand the difference.

    Didn't know that I can make yogurt from cold milk. I normally boil my milk cool it to room temperature and then make my yogurt. Lately my yogurt is quite tangy and no one likes tangy yogurt. Any suggestions how to make less tangy yogurt.
