The Yogurt Maker will automatically shut off at the end of the cooking

cycle. The

ON

indicator will turn off and the timer will show “0:00”. A

beeper will sound for one minute to remind you to remove the jars and

place them in the refrigerator.

Yogurt must be chilled for 3 to 4 hours before serving. Be sure to save

some yogurt to use as a starter for your next batch. Plain yogurt will

keep in the refrigerator 10 to 14 days.

Tips For Best Results

If yogurt is left in the machine too long, the curd and liquid whey will

separate. Once this occurs, it cannot be reversed.

Yogurt made with skim milk or skim milk powder will have a soft con-

sistency. For thicker, creamier yogurt, add 1/2 cup (50 ml) milk powder

to the milk before heating.

When using commercial yogurt as a starter, buy only brands that con-

tain bacterial culture and check the expiration date–culture becomes

weaker over time. Use only plain yogurt–flavoured varieties will not work.

The longer yogurt remains in the machine, the more tart and firm

it will become.

If you are using raw milk or pasteurized milk that has been in your

refrigerator for several days, let it boil for a few minutes before cooling

to the Add Starter level. Boiling inhibits the growth of bacteria, which

may interfere with the yogurt culture.

Heating the milk for too long or at too high a temperature will produce

poor quality yogurt.

Do not add starter to cold milk.

After refrigeration, a watery liquid may form on top of your yogurt. This

is a natural occurrence. Simply mix it in or drain it off.
