Instant Pot Yogurt (Two Ways)

[@trenacraig5989]

My mom had been battling a post operative infection. I made your Greek Yogurt (fantastic BTW) and since her doctor said my mom should really up her intake of protein for wound healing, I gave her the whey from my straining of my yogurt. She is doing really great now her infection is almost gone and her wound is healing nicely. She uses the whey in her smoothies every morning. And, she loves the yogurt too. She say's it's the best she has ever had. Thanks, Jeff!!

[@karenlombardi8242]

I make yogurt once a week - although I personally do the 'boil method' - sterilizing the pot, bringing the milk up to boil, cooling, then adding the yogurt starter, incubate for 10 hours, chill undisturbed for 6, strain (same strainer) for about 3 hours. It's a longer process by a few hours, but so worth it. Fairlife milk is $$$. And out of each batch of non-sweetened yogurt, I freeze my own 1 TBSP starter cubes and keep those in a container in the freezer. I haven't bought yogurt in 2 years!

[@TLJTHELITTLEJUICE]

Karen Lombardi / reg milk is better then fair life. It’s almost $4 for 1/2 gallon. I’ve recently tried it and it’s not as good as the traditional way. The whey doesn’t even come out yellow with fair life. I keep the whey and use it as my starter. Fair life also needs to sit for 12 hours to get the tangy Greek flavor. I also used the condensed milk in it. Wasn’t a fan. To each his own.

[@WillYllera]

At what point do you freeze the 2-3 tablespoon? Like right after the instapot incubates 8-10hrs or after you strain and leave it in the refrigerator for a few hour?

[@karenlombardi8242]

When it's completely strained to my liking, I transfer it all into a designated yogurt container - THEN I pull my Tablespoons to freeze. After they freeze, I pop them into zip bags and into a sealed container. I thaw them out in a measuring cup that I set into a dish of warm water while I get my yogurt started. Don't microwave it!

[@karenlombardi8242]

I've never even tried Fairlife ... because all they have at my market is Chocolate anyway! I never thought of using the whey for starter ... I'll give that a try too! And I'm with you about the sweet ... I like it plain, with honey and fruit, I've used flavored syrups for a changeup, use it on potatoes, and my famous banana bread :)

[@TLJTHELITTLEJUICE]

Karen Lombardi why waste your actual edible yogurt when you can use the whey? Whey stays in the fridge for 6 months or you can freeze it. Most people dump the whey but it’s good for smoothies, gardening, making breads. You don’t need to waste any of the milk when making yogurt. I’d never buy yogurt again. I’m single and I make it 2 times a week. I also make Kiefer. It has 3 times The probiotics then yogurt and it’s easier. It’s a little weird at first with the separation but no tools needed. Just the grains. No cooking, it just sits and it’s sooooo healthy. The amazing things God provided us naturally for cents. ✨🙏✨

[@olga6509]

I use normal pasturised milk (no boil) and it works wonderfully!!! Lasts for up to 4 weeks in the fridge! Also.......strained it makes the best creamy yogurt cheese ever. Just line a square container with cheesecloth pour in the strained creamy goodness to the rim, fold the cloth closed, pop the lid on and let it sit in the fridge for 5-7 days!!! No need to buy cream cheese anymore.....this stuff is awesome!!!

[@sabinaz3217]

What are your steps? I hate waiting for milk to get to 180 degrees.

Your recipe is great, from a girl who does not care for yogurt I love it so does my family. Just made my 3rd batch. My strainer cane in this morning and now I am making the Greek. Thank you, I love my pot and looking forward to making your dip. And checking your other recipes. Thank you a pleasure to listen to.

[@suburbanhomesteadsurvival7118]

If you invert the strainer on the inside of the lid( minus the bottom container) it will pop out like a Jell-O mold. If you keep the whey and add berries or bananas or what ever, it makes a great health smoothie!

[@denisefrosh6298]

I am making my very first batch as we speak, boil method. When I put it in to incubate, I set it for 9 hrs. The timer started counting up, wasn’t expecting that and was confused. I ran to you tube and looked you up and was reassured that my pot is working properly. Thanks so much for the video and instructions!

I been making yogurt for 6 years and havent bought a starter since. a new gallon of milk after heating to 185 degrees then i cool it down to115 degree add a quarter cup of my yogurt stir in put in insta pot with loose lid on venting. Turn on yogurt setting and push 12 hours. Then I put it in colander with coffee filters and let it drain two hours in pan underneath. Perfect thick yogurt every time.

I just made the regular yogurt and it is absolutely perfect and SO delicious! I think it is one of the most yummy things I've made in my IP! Thanks Jeff!

[@genepark6923]

Got the strainer you mentioned, thank you. I prefer whole milk but would rather have milk direct from the source because it tastes better than homogenized pasteurized stuff from the stores. In the dark of the morning before breakfast in the sub zero weather I'd trudge cup the road to the barns and find the milk cow waiting to enter the milking parlour. I'd pout some feed in her manger, clean her udder band tie her tail down to keep from being swatted as stuff thawed, sitting on an one legged stool I'd begin milking. The feral barn cats would line up along the wall behind the cow waiting to be squirted with milk. I'd usually fill 2 pails. I'd bury forehead in her flank where it was nice and warm. I'd lug the full pails back to the houseman taking them to a cold room where there was a large tank with a conical bottom and a glass tube on the side of it with a spigot on the bottom. The cream would float to the top so that the milk could poured off. What was not drunk or used for cooking was fed to the chickens and slopped to the pig. Cream was used for tea and grandma's coffee and churned. It was also sold to the local creamery along with eggs that were candled before taken to town. All of our cattle were tested by a vet so there was little danger of disease. All of the milking was done before and after the schoolbus. In the winter I never saw my home in daylight but we could see the Aurora Borealis.

[@applegal3058]

I bought an Instant Pot three weeks ago, and made yogurt in it using full-fat milk. Just put it on the Yogurt setting on High, and it will boil the milk for you to 180 F. Then remove the bowl to a cold ice bath and stir until it reaches 110 F. Then stir in your culture starter yogurt, and put the pot back into the Instant Pot. Hit Yogurt button again, but this time on the Normal setting. Set the time for 8 to 10 hours, and it works perfectly ❤

Greek yogurt is also great for baked potatoes instead of sour cream.

[@kasekase28]

Would you add vanilla in the beginning like you did with the sweetened condensed milk if you wanted that flavor? Or after it's done along with toppings?

[@GaiaOne]

I do my add-ins afterward, mostly because it lets me change the flavor from bowl to bowl. I usually make a gallon at a time.

[@gerardacronin3095]

I bought my Instant Pot specifically to make yogurt and have been very happy with the results (except for the time my cultures died). I’ve been using the slightly more complex method of scalding the milk first (which requires a thermometer). Now I’m wondering if I should just do the cold start method. Is the ultra pasteurized milk essential because it is not scalded? If not scalding the milk I would definitely sterilize the pot first. I agree with buying the EuroCuisine strainer. So much tidier than coffee filters! I happen to prefer Greek style yogurt and since I am trying to be healthy, I don’t add any sweeteners.

[@2adamast]

Scalding is to denature proteins to avoid curds, maybe not scalding helps for greek style.

[@sbeckas]

If you use the IP to make the Greek-style yogurt - how much is really made after the yogurt whey is discarded? I have a really small apt style fridge-storage is limited.

[@GaiaOne]

A quart of milk will give you about 1/2 cup of drained whey. (The longer you drain it, the more whey you'll end up with.) So, it will be about a quart of yoghurt less about 1/2 cup, or about 3-1/2 cups of finished yoghurt.

[@arlenemurphy804]

Great job. Noticed you keep brown sugar in the fridge. Never did that. Is there a reason?

[@BarleyJack72]

A Murphy we’ve always kept ours in the fridge. Brown sugar contains molasses, and when exposed to more humid conditions can make brown sugar “hard”. Keeping it in a humidity controlled environment (like one’s fridge) helps prevent this from happening, and keeps the sugar soft. But then again I live in FL, and humidity is a constant issue here.

[@DonWalkerProductions]

I put a large marshmallow in my brown sugar container--it keeps the brown sugar from getting hard. I live in WI where summers are super humid--especially this year. Yuck!

Do you know the temperature in the instant pot for yogurt ? I need to have about 90 F to make french cheese like in my country .

QUESTION: Can you pour your yogurt liquid into jars and place the jars in the instant pot to ferment? Then just seal with a lid and put in the fridge? I understand the Greek style we wouldn't want to do that being it needs to be strained, however, other regular yogurt might, right? No?

[@xichen8358]

I don't see anywhere on the Fairlife bottle or website where their milk is ultra-pasteurized. They claim that it is ultra-filtered. They also say on their website that it is pasteurized at a higher than normal temperature for less time, which results in a longer shelf life (but normal shelf life once the product is opened). So, does this mean that it is indeed ultra-pasteurized? I've made yogurt before using your recipe and the cold method, but this is the first time I try it with Fairlife and the cold method.

[@humancondition2000]

xi chen Hi, I agree. This Fair Life milk is not ultra-pasturized. It is ultra-filtered. You dont have to scald the milk because Fair Life enzimes have broken down the sugars for the bacterial cultures to grow.

[@junipercameryn7375]

I like to use the whey as a substitue for buttermilk in pancakes

Can you double the batches by using 2 bottles of Fairlife and 4Tbl of yogurt starter?

Yeah, Debbie, you can. I make a gallon at a time, using a gallon container of milk and two heaping tablespoons of starter yoghurt in my 6-qt Instant Pot. I use the boil method, myself, and set the IP for 10 hours 'cause I like it a little more tart.

I've heard the strong smell comes from the rubber gasket on the lid of your instant pot...take it out when you make yogurt...you don't need it..since the "Yogurt" method is NOT a pressure cooking method..and glasslid would work....so take the rubber gasket out and make yogurt as you would normally ...

I’m trying to find out where you got your cutting board stove cover

Can you make a sweet nd sour yoghurt with the insta pot? The sweet and sour yoghurt is an south asian desert where you add sugar to the milk and make your yoghurt as normal except you add more live culture so that the yoghurt is a little more tangy and then you end up with a sweet nd sour yoghurt. I also like to use half whole milk and 1 tin of carnation milk. I don't own a instant pot but I'd like to purchase one just for the yoghurt function.

If you flavor the yogurt to make blueberry or strawberry yogurt would you puree the fruit and add to the milk in the beginning or you cant really do that?

[@tidegirl6526]

Add your toppings and mix ins to the finished product not during the making process.

Can Fairlife milk with DHA Omega-3 added be used to make yogurt? Thanks.

Aren't all the milk that sold in the supermarket all pasteurized so that we can skip the boiling the milk etc?

[@porukun52]

“Ultra pasteurized” if you can find it, does work better. Makes firmer yogurt. Whole Foods sells it. Also I like “grass fed” cows.

I never thought about using sweetened condensed milk to flavor the yogurt. It doesn’t effect the incubation results?? I don’t have a yogurt setting on my IP but I have seen some other videos of how to make it in a IP Lux. I’m going to try this next week! Thanks

Just got my Ultra. WhooHoo I'm making this today. It's cooking now. Fingers crossed 😊

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

I have found the easier and safer way to get the yogurt out of the strainer is.. Put the strainer lid over the yogurt and tip it upside down onto the lid. The yogurt will just plop right out. wala

[@kris5948]

or turn it upside down over a bowl and it plops right out! For a long time I was scooping it out of the strainer and lost half of it, then discovered it plops right out in a bowl!

I haven't made yogurt because I thought it was too time consuming but after watching this, I now feel differently. I'm going to take the plunge. However, one thing that ran across my mind when watching you use the regular lid to make the yogurt. Should you change the ring first?

[@mgriffing100]

I wondered that too but he did say it wasn't pressure cooking and we could even use the glass lid if we wanted to. Given that, I wondered whether to just remove the ring entirely while making the yogurt if using the regular lid?

[@kayebaby4142]

I've watched other videos that say to remove the ring. That if your ring has smells in it those smells transfer into the yogurt

[@tektak-tu6db]

Do you think unstained yogurt test like a kefir? do you know what I mean? I don't know if you ever tried it.

[@1180Olivia]

So i havent done much research on yogurt making yet, but im assuming when you use regular milk you boil it to sterilize it? If so then why do you not need to do that to the condensed milk?
