Making natural yoghurts (for 7 pots)

Pour 1 natural yoghurt into a bowl then mix it until a liquid and uniform consistency is obtained.
While mixing, gradually add 1 liter of whole milk (recommended) or semi-skimmed milk until a uniform consistency is obtained.
Divide the mixture into equal quantities in the glass pot.
Place the pots without their lids into the yoghurt maker then refer to the « Launching a cycle on the appliance » section.

You can flavour your yoghurts. Refer to the « Recipe tips » section in these instructions.

Select the cycle duration by pressing repeatedly on the Time button until the desired duration is reached. You can set the fermentation time to between 1 hour (display: 60 minutes) and 15 hours.
Press the on/off button to start the program. « Hr » flashes.
It takes at least 9 hours with whole milk or 12 hours with skimmed milk to make a sufficiently firm yogurt. However, you can vary the fermentation time according to your taste and texture preferences. The smoothness of the yogurt depends on the fermentation time and the quality of the ferments used during preparation.
Preparation begins. The time is counted down in hours on the display screen, then the last hour is counted down in minutes.

When complete

The appliance stops automatically at the end of the selected time, and the display screen and the appliance go into standby mode. You can also interrupt the cycle by pressing the on/off button.
Unplug the power cord from the mains and remove the transparent lid from the appliance.
Place the yogurt pots with their lids in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. You can store the yogurts in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days maximum.
Serve the yoghurt any way you want: as it is or by adding, for example, sugar, jam, cereals, chocolate, chopped or mixed fruits, etc.

Useful operating tips

Choice of milk

You are advised to use whole milk (for a creamier result) or semi-skimmed milk. Be aware that skimmed milk makes the consistency of the yogurts more delicate.
If the milk is already sterilized (UHT), you can use it directly when it is cold.
If you are using raw milk or pasteurized milk, you should first boil it, wait for it to cool, then remove the skins.

Choice of fermenter

You can use either

Natural yoghurt from the supermarket.
Natural yoghurt from a previous production. The yoghurt obtained can be reused up to 7 times as a fermenting base. After that, fresh yoghurt must be used for more active fermentation.
A freeze-dried fermenter is available in pharmacies or in specialist stores (allow in additional 2 hours for fermentation).

The ferments are activated at a very low temperature (45°C) and die beyond that. This is why you should boil them with the milk.

Useful information on the yoghurt maker

You must wait several hours for the yoghurts to form. As a result, we recommend preparing the yoghurts in the evening. The next morning, place the yoghurts in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving them.
Condensation forms on the lid of the yoghurt maker when it is in use. This is normal. Be careful not to let water drop into the yoghurts when you remove the transparent lid.

Recipe tips

For thicker yoghurts, you can add powdered milk to the mixture (2 or 3 tablespoons for 1 liter of milk).
Use a container fitted with a pouring spout to make mixtures, as it is more practical for pouring liquids into pots.
You can add crème fraiche to the mixture for a creamier yoghurt.
You can make savoury sauces to accompany starters: Greek sauce, cucumber, garlic, and herbs, basil, tarragon or any other aromatic herbs.
Fruits must be cooked before being incorporated into the mixture. However, when you plug in your yoghurt maker, all of the yoghurt’s ingredients should be cold or at room temperature.
Fresh, raw fruits often release too mush water and the results are not as good as with cooked, drained fruits.
You can sweeten your yoghurts during preparation or just before eating with honey, cane sugar, maple syrup, etc.

Whey

It is found on the surface of yoghurts. It is a residual liquid rich in lactose proteins, vitamins and minerals.

You can drink plain whey to enjoy benefits.
You can reuse it for your next batch of yoghurts.
You can reuse it for making pancakes, breads, brioches, etc. to replace water or milk.
Whey keeps for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
