Was given an instant pot for Christmas so will definitely try this but plant-based as I have a family history of cancer and need to avoid all the estrogen in dairy--thanks for posting
my grandma was telling me I need to sterilize my containers before I put the finished yogurt in to keep in the fridge. I told her that makes no sense, but she's insisting. I've never made yogurt before...what do you think? It doesn't look like you sterilized your plastic container before pouring your yogurt in.
It will keep the flavor nicer and possibly help it last longer. Usually people talk about sterilizing the instant pot (rather than the end container) by rinsing it out with boiling water because the active cultures in the yogurt are just a beneficial strain of bacteria, so we don't want them to have any competition in that perfect growing environment. Sterilizing your end containers is more of a canning/preservation technique tho. I side with your grandma on that one, since I hate having my hard work literally spoiled
@@Homemadefoodjunkie Great thank you! I have searched different videos about this and I thought yours is thr best video, well explained and straight to the point. Happy holidays!!
You need the live cultures from it in order to make more. Once you've made it once, you can use your last few spoonfuls to make more with the cultures.
Hmmm. I’m not sure this method will work without the yogurt function. You need the milk to get to 180 degrees f. And then cool it down to 110 degrees f. Then let it ferment overnight at 90 degrees f and then strain it. You can do this without an instant pot. Here is a recipe that will work for you. www.homemadefoodjunkie.com/homemade-greek-yogurt-recipe/ have a great weekend!
