CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT
Milk
What milk should you use?
• All our recipes (unless otherwise stipulated) are prepared using cow’s
milk. You can use plant milk such as soya milk for example as well as
sheep or goat’s milk but, in this case, the firmness of the yogurt may
vary depending on the milk used. Untreated raw milk or long-life milks
and all the milks described below are suitable for your appliance:
• You can sweeten natural yogurt either when you eat them or when you
make them. Simply add one or two teaspoons of sugar or honey per
pot. Alternatively when preparing the yogurt mixture dissolve the sugar
when boiling the milk or dissolve in the cold milk (no more than 80 g
sugar for 1 litre milk).
• Press “Menu” button and scroll through to select “Yogurt”. The screen
displays “8H” and the “Start” light flashes.
• The default cooking time is 8 hours adjustable from a minimum of 6
hours to a maximum of 12 hours. Select the cooking time. A long press
on the +/- key will allow you to increase or decrease the time without the
appliance beeping.
• Press the “Start” button. The display will count down in one hourly
intervals.
• The delayed start function is not available with the “Yogurt” function.
• At the end of the cooking time, the buzzer will sound several times.
• There is no keep warm function at the end of the yogurt programme.
• Chill the yogurt in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving.
Ideally leave for 24 hours. This helps the yogurt to thicken slightly.
• Homemade yogurts do not contain the thickeners and stabilisers
contained in commercially produced yogurt and are often thinner in
consistency. Sometimes homemade yogurt has nutritious clear whey on
top which can be stirred back in.
• Homemade yogurt can be flavoured with fresh fruit or cold cooked
stewed fruit after preparation and chilling. If the fruit is added before
fermentation the fruit acids interfere with the setting process and
the yoghurts will be very runny. Some very acidic fruits, such as fresh
pineapple, can cause the yogurt to curdle or separate. Acidic fruit is best
served in a separate bowl.
