Perfect Homemade yogurt. 3 Methods (Instant Pot | Oven | Warm Cloth) | How to make yogurt at home.

[@venkitaramansubramoniam4858]

Cannot thank you enough. Never did any other KZbin techniques work for me until I saw your instant pot technique. We used to try making yoghurt by directly pouring in the pot and it never gave a satisfactory result. But your trick works perfectly every single time. Thank you so much!!

I have recently started to make yogurt. I use my mini slow cooker to heat and cool down the milk. After cooling the milk I add the culture. Then I put the slow cooker into an insulated shopping bag. I waited 16 hours for the fermentation process. The result was perfect. I then strained it in fridge overnight to make Greek yogurt.

Dear Waseem, it was a very good tutorial for yogurt lovers. Your comparison give real good insight of yogurt making. It is a scientific and art of cooking .I have tried oven method and work flawlessly .Your recipe is for perfect results Some people do accept less than perfect. That is their choice .Yogurt has to be refrigerated for over night with slight lid off the container. Thanks for sharing. Raj

An excellent presentation. (Many are not.) I believe that you have a scientific background because you have analyzed the entire process. Especially knowing the correct temperature needed to know when to add the starter. I brought my milk to over 170 degrees. Then I let it cool to 100 degrees. At that moment I could have my finger in the milk and not experience any discomfort. Fortunately I had a candy thermometer. That really helped to determine the correct temperature. Thanks Again. john

I have made great joghurt with the towel method, yet, I used about five towels, placed it on a sofa and topped it with an additional blanket! It must really be packed into more insulation than just one towel! Perfect! My recipe was Turkish, so I boiled two liters of milk with a cup of heavy cream. Once it was cooled down to 40°C, I broke the skin from the fat and carefully fanned the heaped spoonful of Greek joghurt onto the bottom (not stirring but trying to keep the joghurt mostly intact as on the spoon. It still activates all of the milk!). Then packed it up and about ten to twelve hours later had the perfect, tart, yet creamy joghurt I wanted!

[@waseemsharing4199]

Thanks for sharing your experience and Turkish recipe . Never tried this Turkish recipe with added cream. Regarding amount of insulation, it all depends on the temperature of the room.

[@Attirbful]

@@waseemsharing4199 that is probably true. I‘m in Germany and mostly make this joghurt in winter, so I isolate the heck out of it to make sure it keeps the 40°C for a looooooong time!

Thank you for making this video. It was so easy to see the difference. Thank you.

awesome video

I put a hot water bottle in the insulated cooler. It keeps the warmth for 10 hrs.

[@waseemsharing4199]

Looks like a good idea.

[@freeman3320]

I would never have thought of using a hot water bottle. Excellent tip.

[@waseemsharing4199]

Thank you.

In towel method you need to add more yougrt about 3 spoons and leave it in warm area but not in cooler bag. It takes me about 12hrs and its perfect

[@waseemsharing4199]

Thanks for sharing your experience. What is the temperature of the wormer area you mentioned? Warm is relative and mean slightly different to different people depending on the climate their body is used too of living. But yogurt making bacteria are very consistent about how fast they make yogurt at different temperatures. Sorry about long explanation but if you tell us what is the temperature of your worm area then it will complete the information more precisely.

[@onyinyeajananwagu6548]

Very true

Thank you so much sir 🙏

We use another method which I suggested to many. Milk should be little warmer, cover the bowl with a lid and put it in a shawl or a sweater. Your yogurt will be ready in 6 hours even during the winter in US.

Curd making is not a tough process that it needs so much of pre-heating or any electrical device nor it needs any light of an oven to be switched on especially in warm countries where you don't need anything to make curd. Warm the milk & add 1 tsp of curd into it. Keep it for a night or equivalent hours & check in the morning. It do not need any machine or electric cooking pot to make curd. Even I have personally seen that curd do not come out that well when made in electrical cooking pot in winters. It's better to use sweater to wrap around the warm milk bowl with curd into it. The curd made with the sweater or any woolen cloth way comes out to be more tasty even in winters. I am talking about my country India & my city as well: the climate of other countries or states may varies. So, the process can be impacted by the outer conditions. But, the thing is that you don't need electric pot to make curd. It is a natural process by which curd is made. It was traditionally made in earthen pot especially in warm countries to enjoy something tasty, energetic and healthy during the warm season. I don't know if electric pot works at places with lower temperatures. I have never lived on Indian hills. So, I don't know. But, my experience says that even on Indian hills especially the ones open for the public; the curd making process goes the natural way and not the electric pot way. After warming the milk, curd needs normal room temperature to be made. Otherwise, keep the warm milk with curd into it under direct sun light. The curd will get bad. This what happens when electric pots are used for making curd: something I saw in my personal test of the curd making machine which I by chance got to do in my childhood. My mother returned the electric curd maker to the shopkeeper as the shopkeeper gave her to test it and said her to return it back if it don't work well.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree its easy to make yogurt in worm places specially when its not winter. This is what I have also said in my video for cloth method. Many places in the word specially Europe, and North America are cold and very cold specially in winter. Even in summer the developed countries have most homes with central air-conditioning which keeps even their kitchen cool. Where as in countries like Pakistan and India kitchens are mostly not centrally airconditioned and the heat from the cooking during the day is absorbed into the brick walls which keep the kitchen worm even at night. I have lived in both kind of places therefore I know all this. However that is not the case everywhere and devices like instant pot and oven with light provide sustained suitable temperature for making yogurt even in cold environments. I have also said in the video that if your room temperature were you are making yogurt is around 80F (26C) you will get better results than what I got in the video. Temperature in my kitchen during winter drops down to 68F (20C) at night and you saw the results in the video. Once again thanks for sharing your experience.

I completed your 100 likes :-)

[@samanthas9875]

You need to wrap it in to blanket and keep it in warm room by the warm radiator/night storage heater......

[@shifashahid6487]

My oven does not have the light option. How would you suggest making yogurt in oven in this case?

[@waseemsharing4199]

Bulb is key to retain oven temperature and get good results.You can try 3rd method (warm cloth) that I described in the video. Towel is not best, use some other warm thick cloth. If you have hotpot then put the yogurt pot with cultured milk at 120F covered with cloth inside hotpot. If no hotpot either then you can also put your yogurt pot covered with warm cloth inside oven that is preheated at about 120F(49c). But oven must be turned off after preheating and before putting yogurt pot inside the oven. Check yogurt first after 8hours but try not to shake it. if it is not ready then check after every 2h to 3h. Total Time will vary depending on the room temp but do not exceed 20h. My 3rd method works better in warm areas (yogurt room temperature above 80F or 27c). But it’s not perfect for cold areas and winter season. Once I have improved it, I will post another video. Let me know if you have any suggestion for my next yogurt video. Thanks for asking the question. Let me know your results.

[@shifashahid6487]

@@waseemsharing4199 Thank you I will try that! For your next video I wanted to suggest if you could show yogurt making without the yogurt setting as older versions of instant pots do not have that option :)

[@illyriumus2938]

Interesting that the towel method did not work. I have done yogurt that way all my life and never failed. The only difference is that I use a big blanket and make sure it is completely snug and warm isolation for the containers. You also may have better luck if you use containers that can maintain temp longer - i.e. aluminum.

[@waseemsharing4199]

Maintaining temperature is key. I think the quantity of worm milk also counts as more milk will take longer to cools down. May I know which city you are from and what is the temperature of the room where you make yogurt. When I made this video it was winter and at night my kitchen area temperature fall to to 67F or 19C which is low for yogurt making. Areas with higher than 72F or 22C room temp will have better luck. You can compensate lower room temperature with better insulation like you said but it did not work so well for me.

When is your next video? :D Keep it up! Would you like to be KZbin friends? :)
