YOGURT FUNCTION

TIPS FOR MAKING YOGURT

• Youcaneithermakealargebatchofnaturalyogurtdirectlyinthebowl

(maximumquantityof1litreofmilk),ina17-cmdiametersoufflédish

ormakenaturalyogurtinindividualoven-proofglasscontainers.The

45in1bowlfitsaboutfouryogurtcontainers,dependingontheirsize.

Washthecontainersinwarmwaterandwashingupliquid,thenrinse

anddrythemthoroughly.

• All the equipment used in the yogurt making process should be

sterilisedusingMilton sterilizing solution or cleaned inadishwasher.

Sterilising is important to prevent the introduction of undesirable

airbourneorganismswhichcouldinterferewiththeincubationofthe

culture,andresultsinrunnyyogurtwhichwillnotset.

• Preparetheyogurtmixtureasinstructed(seerecipebookorthesection

“Choiceofmilk”and“Fermentationtime”intheinstructions).

• Youcansweetennaturalyogurteitherwhenyoueatthemorwhenyou

makethem.Aftermaking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 the default cooking time of 8 hours. The cooking time is

adjustable from a minimum of 6 hours to a maximum of 12 hours.

Selectthecookingtime.

• Press«Menu»keytoselectfunction«Yogurt».Thescreendisplaysthe

defaultcookingtime,andthe“Start”lightflashesred.

• Press«Temperature/Timer»keytoselectthetimesettingfunctionand

thenpress«<»and«>»tochangethecookingtime.

• Press«Start»key.Theapplianceentersinto“Yogurt”mode,the“Start”

lightstopsflashingandthescreendisplaystheremainingcookingtime.

• Attheendofthecookingtime,theappliancewillsoundthree“beeps”

andwillreturntostandbymode.

These is no keep warm at the end of the cooking.

Use for making yogurt in oven-proof glass containers.

• 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appliancewill“beep”severaltimes.

• Thereisnokeepwarmfunctionattheendoftheyogurtprogramme.

• Chilltheyogurtintherefrigeratorforatleast4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.Forthickerconsistencyyogurtadd

skimmedmilkpowder(seerecipesinrecipebook).

• 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.

CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT

Milk

What milk should you use?

Allourrecipes(unlessotherwisestated)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:

• Long-life sterilised milk:UHTwholemilkresultsinfirmeryogurt.Using

UHTsemi-skimmedmilkwillresultinlessfirmyogurt.However,youcan

usesemi-skimmedmilkanddissolve2-5tablespoonsofdriedskimmed

milkpowderper1litreofmilktogiveathickerconsistency.

• Pasteurised milk:pasteurised whole milk will give a creamier yogurt

with a little skin on the top. Yogurt made with pasteurised semi-

skimmedorskimmedmilkwillresultinarunnytexture.Asthistypeof

milkstillcontainssomeheat-resistantgermswhicharenoteliminated

by pasteurisation, the milk must be boiled first, cooled to hand-hot

(36°C)andthenstrainedthroughafinesievetoremoveanyskinbefore

used foryogurt making. For a thicker consistency yogurt, before the

milkisboiledadd2to5tablespoondriedskimmedpowderedmilkper

1litreofmilk.

• Untreated raw milk (farm milk): It is imperative that this type of

milk is boiled for a fairly long time and it is dangerous not to do

this. After boiling let it cool down to 36°C before using for yogurt

making.Usingyogurtasaculturestartermadefromrawfarmmilkis

notrecommended.

• Powdered milk:usingskimmedmilkpowderreconstitutedwithwater

willresultinverycreamyyogurt.Followthemanufacturer’sinstructions

onhowtoreconstituteintoliquidmilk.

Choose a whole milk, preferably long-life UHT.

Raw (farm milk) or pasteurised milk must be boiled then cooled and

needs the skin removing.

The ferment

For yogurt use one of the following ferments:

• Onesmallpot(100g-150g)ofshop-boughtnatural yogurtwiththe

longestexpirydatepossible;youryogurtwillthencontainmoreactive

fermentforafirmeryogurt.

• Freeze-dried ferment. In this case, follow the activation time

specified on the ferment instructions. You can find these ferments

in supermarkets, pharmacies and in certain health product stores.

(FortheUK:Freezedriedfermentisonlyavailableonlineandinsome

healthfoodshops.)

• Oneofyourrecently prepared yogurts–thismustbeanaturalyogurt

and recently prepared. This is called culturing. After five culturing

processes, the yogurt used loses active ferments and therefore risks

giving a less firm consistency. You then need to start again using a

shopboughtyogurtorfreeze-driedferment.

If you have boiled the milk, wait until it has cooled to room temperature

before adding the ferment.

Too high a heat may destroy the properties of your ferment.

• Thisfunctionisto makesoftcheese.Preferablyuse fullcreamwhole

milk(seerecipebookforrecipes).

CREAM/CHEESE FUNCTION

Fermentation time

• Your yogurt will need between 6 and 12 hours of fermentation,

dependingonthebasicingredientsandtheresultyouareafter.

Fluid

6h 7h 8h 9h 10h 11h 12h

Firm

Sweet Acidic

• Oncetheyogurtheatingprocessisfinished,theyogurtshouldbecooled

completely,coveredwithalidorclingfilmandplacedinarefrigerator

foratleast4hoursorpreferablylongerbeforeconsuming.

• Whencovered,naturalyogurtswillkeepforamaximumof7daysinthe

refrigerator,dependingonthefreshnessofthemilk.Yogurtswithjam

oradditionalingredientswillkeepforupto3days.

• Aclearliquid(whey)mayformontop oftheyogurtandthisis best

stirredbackin.Alternativelyyoucanpouritoff.
