I have been making Greek Yogurt in the Instant Pot and every time it turns out perfectly, until the last 3 times, I was like what did I do wrong?!? It was the NORMAL setting! I didn't realize I had it on the low setting, so my yogurt wasn't setting. You are a genius. Gahh Thank you SO MUCH!!

I just stir in 2 heaping tbls good yoghurt into the cold milk in the instapot, set for normal heat for 7-9 hrs depending on how sour tasting I feel like, and hit the yoghurt button - no preheating or anything and it turns out perfect every time - thick and tangy.

This is THE Instantpot yoghurt making video. By far the best tips. Thanks.

I’ve tried both ways and the yogurt was perfect each time. Thanks for all the great Instant Pot information - I got one for Christmas and had some spectacular failures before I found your videos!

I don't know if I have already sent you fan mail, so I'm just going to do it again in case I didn't..... I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I have now been making yoghurt using this method for over a year and I am SO glad this video exists. Thank you so much.

Finally an easy to follow recipe. Other videos left me confused and uncertain where to begin but you brought me clarity. Thank you

Thank you SO much for all the hints. I bought my instant pot / yrs ago specifically for yogurt. No idea why it took so long to actually do this.

I tried both ways of making the yogurt. I think the boil method turned out much better. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you, I really appreciate all the details! This is a terrific tutorial.

OMGOSH! I’ve had two failed attempts!! I followed two different KZfaq videos. I take Ownership for maybe messing it up. Your KZfaq video is so great! The explanation so clear and easy! Thank you - you have a fan! 😊

I made the fast version of this and it turned out exactly as shown. It was barely tangy though. I’m going to try 12 or more hours next time. But thank you, you have a gift for teaching! Got to love thoroughly thought through instructions!

thank you for explaining how to use the instant pot instruction the best yet on youtube

Love your clear instructions, will give it a try!❤

thank you, all your videos are great , your my go to girl for all good recipes, your so well spoken & everything i make from you comes out perfect. thank you

I tried the first method and it’s the tutorial that actually worked for me it came out perfect. Every other attempt it came out runny and that’s how I thought it should be. Thank you so much I will use this method all the time as we can’t get faitrade milk or any other ultra pasteurised milk in the UK only ‘filtered pasteurised’ ❤

Thank you going to try this out, and the tips for using the whey are a great bonus.

Such a good video. I keep coming back to it.

Made it with your instructions and it came out delicious !❤

I made yogurt yesterday and it came out so yummy. I never buy yogurt again😎 Your explanation is very clear and easy to follow. THANK YOU SO... MUCH🥰🥰

Was given an instant pot for Christmas so will definitely try this but plant-based as I have a family history of cancer and need to avoid all the estrogen in dairy. Thanks for posting

This is, hands down, the best tutorial for homemade yogurt. I followed the instructions using the whole milk fair trade brand. It is a family favorite. Considering this is only the second time I’ve made yogurt, I feel like this is a recipe that anyone can follow and be successful. Thank you! This is a game changer and I definitely enjoy the thicker French style. 😊

I just made a batch of yogurt with your exact instructions and it came out perfect. ProTip: First, remove the inner lid rubber band. The rubber absorbs smells from previously cooked foods which can transfer odors to the yogurt. There’s no need for this rubber band since the Instant Pot is cooking with zero pressure. Thanks so much from breaking down the instructions seamlessly. I’ll be making yogurt instead of buying!

This was a great easy method to use it tastes great thank you for your share.

just did the quick method at 8 hours (normal) easiest yogurt i've made, thank you!

Thank you!! This is so detailed and helpful

OH My Your GOOD at this. Thanks !!! And I SUBSCRIBED.

I use the Fairlife method, lactose free. I add agave nectar to feed the cultures. Delicious!

Oh my goodness! NONE of the instant pot yogurt recipes mentioned changing the temperature above Low! I noticed that the inner pot was hardly even warm at the endn of 8 hours, but since the recipes (and I looked at about six of them) didn't mention adjusting the temperature, I figured everything was okay. My first attempt ended up like plain old milk, except that it was a little thicker at the very bottom of the inner pot. Will try your technique tomorrow and hope for better results. Thanks a million for the tip.

Thank you today I really learn the real reason why my yogurt is not creamy from you because my settting in low not medium. Thank you very much for your instruction .

I really love your energy, your explanation and all your tips :) I'll follow your recepe and let's see tomorrow how it goes

I use 12 hours and use coffee filters to strain my Greek yogurt. I then separate it into two containers and season 1 for yogurt cheese after another day! Tfs

I use coffee filters doubled up to strain my yogurt. Works great every time.

Love this video! For the jar method, should I keep water in and place the jars inside or should I put the jars on the empty instant pot with the rack only? I understood you put warm water in to warm up but not sure if you kept it

Neat! I've read some use ice cube trays for the culture freezing method so they can use the cubes for later batches. I guess egg containers maybe can be used too? I ate all my natto containers... though still have some culture coming from Japan I think supposed to be here in November. Found some local Asian markets that have the natto ready to eat packages in the frozen section. Amazing how gross a lot of the ingredients are in yogurts now days. Really a lot of the products in stores are synthetic yuck (not like everything is bad though, synthetic). I guess like is said items not in the perimeter sections... the when reading ingredients outside produce... starts getting sketchier. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you I didn't know how to use the instant pot

Very good Information.

Kristin, Thank You Great video I have subscribed & will check out more of your videos.

Great tutorial, thanks!! My IP model comes with Low, Medium, and High temperatures; I assume that Normal means Medium.

Thank you I have made this and it’s great. Can I use the same method for goat milk?

Thank you for mentioning normal temperature for 8 hours. I am going to try for the first time.

hello does that mean if I use the regular UHT milk I should do the boil method? We don't have Fairlife here in our area.

Great tutorial! Thanks! I want to make Greek yogurt. When do I strain it? Right after the 8 hours of cooking? Or after it has set in the fridge for 12 hours?

Hi I loved your vid it was the easiest to follow. I want to make ricotta but I know you have to strain the yoghurt and use the whey within 4 hrs or too much protein is destroyed. If I strain the yoghurt staright away will it not thicken? Have you tried to make ricotta after the 12 hrs. Many thanks 😁👍

Thank you for this recipe. I’ve done it since January of this year and it have come out creamy and delicious. However I just made a batch and it ended up with dark brown spots at the bottom. Like burnt milk. Yogurt still tasted good. But what do you think happened? Took me awhile to scrub it off. Is my yogurt still safe to eat?

Thank you for such a detailed yet straight to the point recipe! I am wondering, can I add live fermented probiotics as a starter? The yogurt in South Africa does not specify which live cultures are inside, the labels simply say "yogurt cultures". I am wondering whether I can add the yoghurt as a started plus the additional probiotics?

I used fairlife chocolate milk and made yogurt. It was great.BTW I use whole cream to make butter. What can I do with the liquid that is left in the bowl? Thanks. Enjoy your videos

Delicious but when should I add vanilla when using fairlife method. Should I mix it in with the starter?

I'm new to your channel and I live in Mexico varies Milk which range fresh cow milk to 1/2 gallon milk pasteurize to ultrapasteur milk carton which what we use at home is that a good option for greek yogurt in your final step yogurt making in this video?

I have a IP Pro 10 in 1 and it does not have a normal button, only High and low. I can custom select at 110 degrees, would that be correct?

Thank you A Mind Full Mom for this super easy way to make yogurt- it's sooooo good! I can't eat store bought anymore because its so "artificial" tasting from sweeteners. I uses the FairLife 2% milk method to make it easier. Question for you - it turned out perfectly but after I stored it in a glass airtight bowl in the refrigerator it kept separating and getting really watery. Is this normal ? I kept pouring the water out when I wanted to eat it but ended up throwing it out after three days because it seemed kind of gross and I wasn't sure it was a normal occurrence? Or should I just stir it before serving? I have another batch a just started, this time using FairLife whole milk. Just curious for your thoughts ! Thanks!

Hi, is there anyway that I can thin out the yogurt if I don't like it thick? Thanks

With the fast version do I take some out for my starter for next batch after it cools

very nice

Does the instant pot go to a "keep warm" setting after a yogurt setting is complete, or just shut off?

Hi Kristen, I have been eating home made yogurt most of my life, my dad used to make it and then I made it at home. As time has gone on first working full time and then my health took a turn for the worse, I just started buying it at the supermarket and my favourite is Kafir yogurt, I was wondering if your recipe would work with kafir? As I live in England, I doubt we have that milk, but we do have Cravendale milk, maybe one of your viewers, may be able to tell me if they have used that I think it is triple filtered, so it may suit your second method. I really want to thank you for all of your wonderful tutorials, I feel really confident using my instant pot and I am simply Loving all of your recipes so far! Take care x

Hi there, thank you for your fantastic tutorial! I haven't got an Instant Pot yet but am considering buying one for this very purpose. If you use the UHT milk can you program the Instant Pot Yoghurt settings to skip the boil function and go straight to the incubation phase? As the culture is added at the start of this method, the boil feature of the Instant Pot Yoghurt program would destroy the culture... is this correct? Thanking you in advance.

what an amazing tutorial! Thank you! I am going to try this tonight, but unless I get the energy to run back to the store, I am using a dried yogurt culture packet. Do I just add it in at the same point that you add the plain yogurt? Thanks again for a wonderful video.

Do you strain Greek yogurt before or after cooling in the fridge?

If making Greek yogurt, do you strain in as soon as the cycle is complete in the IP, or after it sits in the fridge for 8hrs?

after 8 hours using the jar method, should I just cover the yogurt in mason jars with lid and ring then refrigerate?

Is ultra filtered milk the same as ultra pasteurized milk? Can I use either one in cold method?

I'm confused. Is ultra filtered the same as ultra pasteurized? Both products are in the stores.

Can I add condensed milk together with the culture during preparation

This has been super helpful! Psa 54:4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

Can you use filtered pasteurised? Not ultra

I kept tapping on the "link" on the left hand side of the screen, but it wouldn't take me anywhere. Please help.

Your Instant Pot Cold Start Yogurt recipe says it makes 10 servings. What size are those servings (4 oz, 6 oz, etc)? Also, if I half the recipe (32 oz ultra filtered milk & 1 tablespoon live culture yogurt) is incubation time still 8 hours?

Do I have to strain the yogurt right away after 8 hours of setting in the fridge?

You can strain the yogurt overnight to create cream cheese.

Can nut milk be used? If so, do you still boil to 180 and cool to 110?

I tried to make the second way with the same milk and greek yogurt, after 8 hrs, it looked the milk curdle in big chunks and smelled like a baby throw-up. What did I do wrong?

I used organic milk that said ultra pasteurized on the carton. To make a smaller amount in a Mini, I used 2 pints (1006 grams by weight) milk + a tablespoon Fage yoghurt. I really would have loved it if the vid had a text overlay because I had to write instructions In order to separate them from the commentary. If only I’d known up front that using ultra pasteurized (commercially produced organic) milk saves 20-30 minutes of hands-on time.

Can you still make the Greek yogurt with the second method?

Hi Kristen, ALL the milk sold in the US stores are ALREADY PASTEURIZED unless you go to a specialty store for raw milk. That is the law. So, why do you need to boil it again like you did in the video?

Is normal the same as medium? I only have medium on my instant pot.

Can I freeze Instant pot homemade Yogurt?

Hi.... it's my first time try to make yogurt. I have a question. Can we do the double amount once? And double the amount of milk and yogurt culture? Let's make yogurt 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Is the pot stainless steel? I was told not to use any metals with things like yogurt (utensils/strainers, etc.) because they are detrimental to bacteria. I know stainless steel is antibacterial.

Oh oh just noticed my IP is on low after 8 hours, what should I do now?

what if i dont have a thermoeter

can i use lactaid milk? the blue one

I followed the directions exactly as described, but I ended up with milk, not yogurt. Is this because I used almond milk as my base?? It wasn't even the slightest bit thick. Help!!!

Has anyone ever tried using kefir as a starter instead of yogurt?

The yogurt looks great and easy to make. I learnt the hard way but the slightest of saliva will turn your yogurt watery, this will happen when you put the spoon back in after it’s been in your mouth. I can always tell when my children have done this 😂😂😂

I will try with raw...it's the only milk I will use

We prefer 12 hours. Find out what works for you.

HELP , took yogurt out of cooker and it was just like the milk i dumped in, i forgot to add the starter, now what?

Szkoda że nie jest po polsku 🌺

It’s really not the best to used store yogurt.. start fresh with a strain an insulin with Fos and high fat milk ..some strains you do at duff temp and longer tmie 36 hours
