Making Yogurt in the Ninja Speedi without a Yogurt Function

[@FoolproofLiving]

I spent the last 2 hours watching your KZbin videos and can't tell you how energized I feel to get back into KZbin. Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@angelicavasquez3870]

More ninja Speedi videos please!

[@annesoper911]

I started making yogurt in the seventies with nothing more than a stainless steel pot and an oven. I scald the whole milk,let it cool some add the previously made yogurt about a cup per gallon of milk, stir it in, place it in the oven with the light on, leaving it until it's done (usually overnight),strain and consume. The way I use for baking. Very simple.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yep, you can even make it on the counter wrapped in a towel.

[@annettem749]

I would love to see more speedi recipes! Love your channel!

[@glholden30]

Go to cooking with James he has a lot of recipes

[@MiriamWalcott]

Thank you for this video. I noticed all the Speedie videos I found said nothing about yoghurt so decided to search YT and found yours. So glad that it's possible to make yoghurt with the Speedi. Hope mine turns out as good as yours.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Keep me posted!

[@ksie1464]

Good to know I can use the speedi for making my yogurt but also to turn this into sour cream: To 16 oz. of the drained yogurt add one tablespoon of lemon juice. Then refrigerate overnight. It tastes like the store bought also I use a clean sour cream container to identify. Dinner guests don’t know the difference.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Great idea!

[@theparanormalentomologist2234]

Very educational! Thank you. I am new to the Ninja Speedi and I would really would love to see some more quality Ninja Speedi content like yours! It is great to see the versatility. And wow…you really make an excellent video. Thank you.

[@PegAMurphy]

wow this is gonna be a great video Louise 💕 can't wait

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Hope you like it!

[@eveman0770]

Whey can also be used as a meat tenderize. I freeze ice cube of it

[@melodyosborne7699]

I’m so excited to see you do this. Can’t wait.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

It worked great!

[@averyvaliant]

If it makes you feel any better Louise, the UK version of the speedi doesn't have the yoghurt function OR the sous vide one. Crazy. That yoghurt looks amazing though, if I wanted to make a fruit yoghurt, such as strawberry, would you just add that in after the final product has cooled?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You might be able to use the proof function to make yogurt in it! Yes, I would add the fruit after the yogurt has been cooled and strained if you are straining it.

[@sistersoul5787]

Unfortunately we don’t even have the proof function @thesalted pepper can you a advise what fonction can I use in stead of proof ( no yogurt no proof no sous vide )

[@guadaluperosalessilva9328]

Hello, amazing video. I have Ninja Smarlid pressure cooker but am planning to get the speedi, but I am not sure. Is it worth it?

[@eveman0770]

You can use the whey from your last batch as starter too

[@teresawatson4546]

Hi I just watched your video on making yogurt in the ninja speedi without the yogurt setting I’m wanting to ask on the thermometer you used I believe it was a orange color Is that a meat thermometer or is it specifically for making yogurt? I can’t find it on Amazon Could you please tell me where I can purchase? Thanks Love the video I’m gonna give making it in my ninja speedi

[@sarahmoon60]

What about using proofing for yogurt?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That should work, but the heat source is at the top and it only goes to 95F. I wasn't sure if it would provide enough warmth down to the bottom that's why I used sous vide. However, since you can make yogurt on the counter in a warm area, it really should work fine.

[@lisagrace2559]

I love this! Also, If I'm able to get hold of the Ultra Pasteurized, can I skep the first step or do you still recommend it?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

No, you can skip the boil phase if you have ultra pasteurized.

[@kiahking5173]

Help please! For the past 8 months I have been the happy owner of a Ninja Foodie XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with Smart Lid. I used this appliance multiple times daily, looking to Louise for much of my inspiration and direction. It has suddenly stopped working 😢. The help line looked at what was happening via a video link and said I had a year warranty, so they could send a new base at no cost to me, but that this model is being discontinued and it would take 2-4 weeks to receive the new base. The alternative they offered is to purchase a new unit from the SharkNinja website at a 70% discount. That led me to this video of the Speedi. Thoughts, anyone? Should I just wait the four weeks for the new base? I have been very happy with the Foodi up until now.

[@melodyosborne7699]

Wow, great video! Thank you so much for your instruction. I also eat my homemade yogurt with Craisins & almonds, sometimes oat/almond granola. I’m headed to your Craisins video now🤭

[@nessasnook]

Great idea thank you!! I didnt think I could do it with my Speedi!

[@carolhatfield7952]

Gonna try this

[@ablitaac69]

You could do it in prove . It works very well.

[@justinadalton2822]

hey louise are you going to make more videos like this for this machine ? im planning on getting this ninja in april :)

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I've played around with a few things, but haven't really had time to master the appliance. I think what I'm going to do is focus on adapting some of my Ninja Foodi recipes to the Ninja Speedi.

[@HeavenWithouttheE]

Can you use store bought plain whole milk yogurt as a starter?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

yes, as long as it has active live cultures which most do.

[@catherine8770]

Thank you! I was wondering about this. Can't wait to try. Can you recommend a yogurt for a starter culture?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I use plain Greek yogurt, whatever is on sale and in the smallest container.

[@kerihouston1336]

Actually, the reason for heating the milk before making yogurt is to deactivate a protein enzyme that prohibits the yogurt from forming.

[@judyandmikemalone5336]

any suggestions on how to make yogurt with the ninja foodi mini. No proofing, No Yogurt, No Sous vide No dehydration 😞

[@WaynoGur]

A couple of questions. I have the ninja foodie with a yogurt function. Could you please show or tell us how to adjust making yogurt in that? Also what yogurt should I buy at the store for the starter since I have never made yogurt? I make my own pickles and Saurkraut.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You add the milk and hit the yogurt function. It will boil and then let the milk cool down. When the milk is cool enough, it will tell you to add the starter. Add in the yogurt starter and hit start. Then it will go to the ferment time. Any plain yogurt with active cultures will work.

[@cesarguadarrama992]

Porque no se usa la opcion de proof?

[@Mahalaleelle]

should i be concerned that you changed outfits 4 times LOL. i thought this would take a long time so i didnt try but you make it look easier. thanks!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

LOL! Did I really change 4 times? LOL It does take a long time, but it's mostly hands off. Making yogurt using any method takes a long time, but it isn't hard to do. I hope you give it a try!

[@IllumeEltanin]

Hi Louise. Could the quicker "boil cycle" and beginning of solidifying be because you used about a quart less milk than the other times?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes, probably. I forgot about that until watching the replay.

[@estbat1]

Good evening, Sorry I'm French and I use Google translate I am interested in your yogurt recipe. Could you send it to me so I can try it. Have you ever tried it with plant-based milk? Thank you for your videos

[@paquerette69000]

Salut, je suis français aussi et je n’ai pas la fonction sous vide sur mon speedi, toi non plus ?

[@pamelasertich9850]

I make my yogurt in my Instapot. I have done it several ways and I have strained it before. It seems that I never get a curd-like texture. Mine always comes out like a smooth texture and is forms peaks almost like runny icing. Can you tell me why and what I can do to get the texture you got in this video. I have boiled the milk before and have used ultra filtered milk. Thank you so much for your help and great video.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

How long are you straining it for?

[@IllumeEltanin]

When doing the boil method in the Instant Pot, do you whisk the milk while the boil cycle is running like Louise shows?

[@pamelasertich9850]

@@TheSaltedPepper sometimes I strain it for 6 or more hours, sometimes I don't at all. My yogurt does not look like yours even before the straining

[@elenipapakyriacou1]

Some models of ninja speedi do not have sous vide or proof what can we do to make yogurt

[@TheSaltedPepper]

You can try dehydrate like I did on the Ninja Foodi models before they had the yogurt function. I would lower the temp to about 160-170F since it's smaller. Here are the details: thesaltedpepper.com/homemade-yogurt-in-the-ninja-foodi/

[@elenipapakyriacou1]

@@TheSaltedPepper thank you so much

[@dremaharvey8433]

Can you flavor it with vanilla extract and if so when to add it?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I would add it after the incubation time. I'm not sure if the extract would interfere with the yogurt making process. I'll have to try it once and see.

Please have you figured out a way to use the ninja speedi as a presure cooker?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

There isn’t any way to pressure cook in the Speedi. You would need a pressure cooker.

[@maridiyaibrahim8210]

@@TheSaltedPepper I guess so, thanks.

[@edhill1892]

Trying to decide to switch from foodi to speedi. What do you think.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The Foodi is still my first choice.

[@annpachini2155]

I don’t like Greek Yogurt. I prefer the yogurt to have some of the whey in it and I like some type of sweetener in it too. When I make it I add some sweetener plus vanilla. Then when I’m ready to eat it I add Grape Nuts or some fruit.

[@KamenDokov]

Proof function should work for yoghurt also.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

There was some reason why I didn't use that function, but I can't remember now why it was. I think because it's so much lower of a temp and I thought sous vide would work better. Proof should work though.

[@Laceylady111]

ALL your viewers need a how to review on the SPEEDI PLEASE! 😅

[@cjpsisco]

Can you make ricotta cheese

[@sandrawestley4193]

I don’t think I can even buy unpasteurised milk in the UK, it’s against the law I believe, if your a farmer and have a herd of cows then someone like that would have access but you cannot buy it in the shops here at all.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Our milk is pasteurized, what this video is talking about is ultra pasteurized milk. Regular pasteurized milk needs to be heated first and ultra pasteurized doesn’t. Hope that clears everything up. 😄

[@mfmayes]

i wish the speedi could do pressure cook, I don't like how my boneless skinless chicken breast come out, they come out dry and hard

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Then it would be the Ninja Foodi. LOL Have you tried steaming the chicken? If they are dry and hard, you heat is too high and you are cooking them too long. So, either switch over to steaming or lower the temperature and timing on a dry cooking function.

[@Morpheusssssss]

You talk too much. I tried really hard to make it to the end, but to no avail. 😐

[@FLOODOFSINS]

You could also just use the yogurt button on your instapot.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

This is for the people who have the Speedi and don't have an Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi with the yogurt function.
