Preparation

Step 1

Pour milk in pot.

Add powdered milk and stir.

Lock lid in place, plug in cooker.

Press yogurt. Quickly press adjust until display reads "boil".

When boil is finished (about an hour), immediately unplug cooker, remove lid and cool milk to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix in yogurt starter.

Lock lid in place and turn on cooker.

Press "yogurt" and incubate for 8 hours.(Be sure it is set to "normal", which is 8 hours).

When 8 hours is up, cover and store in fridge a few hours. I do overnight.

Pour or dip yogurt into the strainer(s).

Place strainers in refrigerator and let strain for 2 to 3 hours for regular yogurt and 6 to 8 for Greek yogurt.

Place yogurt back in pot; add the vanilla at this point, if desired. Mix to distribute evenly.

Place yogurt in air tight containers and store in fridge.

Add your favorite mix-ins and enjoy!
