Yoghurt
Serves 8-10
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 8 hours
Setting: Overnight
• 2L whole milk
• 35g plain Greek yoghurt, with live cultures
1. Ensure the stainless-steel inner pot is sterile by running
it through a hot dishwasher cycle or under boiling water.
Place milk in pot, attach lid, and select the 8-hour yoghurt
function.
2. The yoghurt function will heat milk to 75°C. Once
temperature has been reached, the machine will beep -
this takes approximately 15 minutes. The 8-hour timer
will now begin. Remove lid and allow milk to cool down to
a temperature of 42°C degrees - this will take around 30
minutes (please watch for this).
3. Once milk has cooled, remove milk skin, add Greek yoghurt
and whisk well to combine. It is important that the yoghurt
starter is not added to hot milk or the live cultures will die.
4. Attach lid and allow the yoghurt setting to continue.
5. When cooking time has completed, remove the inner pot.
Carefully transfer the yoghurt to a storage container and
refrigerate overnight until set. Homemade yoghurt will last,
refrigerated, up to one week.
Note: Make sure the yoghurt label lists ‘live cultures’ under the
ingredients list. These cultures are necessary to the yoghurt
making process.
