Instant Pot Yogurt Traditional Method 

Glad I have an Instant Pot with the yogurt setting. My first batch turned out perfect, thanks to your other recipe.

Hi Olga! Here's a tip for a warm place for yeast dough, yogurt, sourdough starter... anything that is fermenting and needs warmth. I have a microwave over my stovetop. It has lights that shine on the stove. The lights generate a nice gentle heat, probably 80-85 degrees, inside the microwave. I use that space to raise bread and have used it to make yogurt. You can even use your car to make yogurt. I lived in inland Southern California and had a night job at a newspaper. In the blistering summer, I would prepare the milk and some of last week's yogurt, pack it in containers, and leave it in my car when I went into the office at about 3 p.m. The sun would go down and the car would gradually cool. I would drive it home after work and put it in the fridge. The next morning it was firm, tart, and just lovely. I know that sounds weird, but when you are a broke journalist who loves to cook Punjabi food, you get creative to save money :) I've had an IP for several years and have never made yogurt in it. I'm trying it this weekend!

Thanks for all of your helpful tips. 😊 I used to make yogurt the 'old fashioned' way boiling milk in a large stock pot, waiting for it to cool down, then adding starter, wrapping the pot in towels and then put it in my microwave to incubate overnight. 🤯 I finally bought an Instant Pot last month and am excited to make yogurt again as it's much easier in the IP. 😋

that's fantastic using the yoghurt setting to proof the bread!

There's some great tips here. I had not thought to use the yogurt setting as a bread proofer.

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

Wow! That was a plethora of very useful info. Thank you so much. You answered several of my questions. Now I MUST watch your other videos.

Amazing video! Just the explanation and instructions I was looking for! Thanks

Thank you Olga! wonderful instructions for beginners, enjoyed it very much. will try it

Умница, красавица, Спасибо!!!

Thank you for so much good info!

thanks

I so appreciate learning all of these pro tips prior to trying out homemade yogurt! I didn't realize most yogurt has sugar in it until I looked for an option for my baby. 🤷‍♀️

Its simple...u don't need IP atall. Just boil milk in a sauce pot , then leave it on counter until its hot enough that u can stick ur finger in for 2 secs without feeling too hot.Then add 2 spns culture and mix thoroughly and transfer it to a bowl, place it in a warm place or a under stove oven overnight. The oven should be off. Next day morning place the yogurt bowl in refrigerator for couple hours and it gets nice and hard and ready to eat. Tips: If u want very thick yogurt just boil milk for some more time on low flame setting.

Perfect video! I learned so much.

Thank you

Great information!!! Thank you! Can you please make a video how you make farmers cheese in instant pot? 🙏

Great video Olga, can you do a kitchen organizer video sometime. Thanks

I was wondering if you can make ricotta that’s what I want. Now I am off to buy insta pot!!

Can i use ouii yogurt as starter mix with condense milk?

Can I boil the milk separately in a milk cooker and set it for setting with live culture in warm setting ?

My yogurt didn’t work because I didn’t research enough and added the live yogurt before boiling 🤦🏽‍♀️ I tried to cook it for 8 hours. Is it safe to keep the milk and cream and try again with more yogurt doing it properly this time?

Is the non-boiling method suitable for unpasteurized milk?

Can you use plant milk please?

What do you do to add flavors?

Regular milk is certainly cheaper but you must use the boil function. The price of Fairlife has gone up so much.

how to make ricotta cheese with intant poy??

wondering if anyone has tried this with goats milk

Thanks for the video but I failed.

I just thought fairlife was awful tasting so I didn't use it thinking the yogurt would be awful too.

No need for instant pot , just put in the oven. Overnite.
