INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
-
Prepare following utensils: a high sided saucepan, a pitcher, and a whisk.
-
Ensure all these utensils are thoroughly washed with warm water and soap and they are dry before start making yogurt.
-
To make yogurt, pour 7 glass jars (equal to1.3 liter or 42oz) of fresh, pasteurized milk (it can be either whole milk, skimmed or semi-skimmed) into a high-sided saucepan.
-
Heat the milk until it boils (82°C or180°F), for 1 to 2 minutes and starts to climb the side of the Saucepan.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the milk to cool to lukewarm (43°C or 110°F).
To accelerate the cooling down, place the saucepan in cold water. -
Stir in one glass jar (equal to 170g or 6oz) full of plain yogurt with some of the milk in a separate bowl until the yogurt is dissolved and you have a smooth mixture. (The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. If you use the homemade yogurt, please repeat only 1 time. Freeze-dried Yogurt Starter can be used instead of yogurt. Follow the directions on the Yogurt Starter package).
-
Mix the room temperature milk very well with the smooth mixture as prepared above.
-
Pour the Mixture into the seven jars of the yogurt maker
-
Place the jars – without the white lids – in the yogurt maker.
-
Cover the yogurt maker with its clear cover.
Boiling ensures a firmer yogurt familiar to most American tastes.
For Softer Yogurt Without Boiling: You do not have to boil the pasteurized milk; however you must make sure that the milk is at room temperature before pouring it into the glass jars, and you need to increase the time to 8 hours for whole milk, 10 hours for 2% milk, and up to 12 hours for skim milk.
For Firmer Yogurt Without Boiling: Just add 10 tablespoons of powdered milk to the room temperature pasteurized milk before pouring it into the glass jars.
