I use normal pasturised milk (no boil) and it works wonderfully!!! Lasts for up to 4 weeks in the fridge! Also.......strained it makes the best creamy yogurt cheese ever. Just line a square container with cheesecloth pour in the strained creamy goodness to the rim, fold the cloth closed, pop the lid on and let it sit in the fridge for 5-7 days!!! No need to buy cream cheese anymore.....this stuff is awesome!!!

My mom had been battling a post operative infection. I made your Greek Yogurt (fantastic BTW) and since her doctor said my mom should really up her intake of protein for wound healing, I gave her the whey from my straining of my yogurt. She is doing really great now her infection is almost gone and her wound is healing nicely. She uses the whey in her smoothies every morning. And, she loves the yogurt too. She say's it's the best she has ever had. Thanks, Jeff!!

I make yogurt once a week - although I personally do the 'boil method' - sterilizing the pot, bringing the milk up to boil, cooling, then adding the yogurt starter, incubate for 10 hours, chill undisturbed for 6, strain (same strainer) for about 3 hours. It's a longer process by a few hours, but so worth it. Fairlife milk is $$$. And out of each batch of non-sweetened yogurt, I freeze my own 1 TBSP starter cubes and keep those in a container in the freezer. I haven't bought yogurt in 2 years!

I just made my first yogurt rule of thumb never do a gallon of milk now I gave a gallon of yogurt 😂

Got the strainer you mentioned, thank you. I prefer whole milk but would rather have milk direct from the source because it tastes better than homogenized pasteurized stuff from the stores. In the dark of the morning before breakfast in the sub zero weather I'd trudge cup the road to the barns and find the milk cow waiting to enter the milking parlour. I'd pout some feed in her manger, clean her udder band tie her tail down to keep from being swatted as stuff thawed, sitting on an one legged stool I'd begin milking. The feral barn cats would line up along the wall behind the cow waiting to be squirted with milk. I'd usually fill 2 pails. I'd bury forehead in her flank where it was nice and warm. I'd lug the full pails back to the houseman taking them to a cold room where there was a large tank with a conical bottom and a glass tube on the side of it with a spigot on the bottom. The cream would float to the top so that the milk could poured off. What was not drunk or used for cooking was fed to the chickens and slopped to the pig. Cream was used for tea and grandma's coffee and churned. It was also sold to the local creamery along with eggs that were candled before taken to town. All of our cattle were tested by a vet so there was little danger of disease. All of the milking was done before and after the schoolbus. In the winter I never saw my home in daylight but we could see the Aurora Borealis.

If you invert the strainer on the inside of the lid( minus the bottom container) it will pop out like a Jell-O mold. If you keep the whey and add berries or bananas or what ever, it makes a great health smoothie!

Jeff, I made the unstrained yogurt, It came out perfect and it is the best yogurt I haven ever eaten in my life! Thank you for the awesome videos.

We love our instant pot because of you, therefore we have named our instant pot "Jeffrey" in your honor. Your videos are perfect. Our Jeffery recently made gumbo and it was the best ever. Thanks so much.

I’ve been wanting to make yogurt in this thing for a while. Now you have given me the motivation to do so. Thank you and I’ll do an update to let you know how turns out.

I can't tell you how often I come back to your recipe!!! Hope you are well during this difficult time. Thank you for inspiring me to experiment in the kitchen!!

Your recipe is great, from a girl who does not care for yogurt I love it so does my family. Just made my 3rd batch. My strainer cane in this morning and now I am making the Greek. Thank you, I love my pot and looking forward to making your dip. And checking your other recipes. Thank you a pleasure to listen to.

I just made the regular yogurt and it is absolutely perfect and SO delicious! I think it is one of the most yummy things I've made in my IP! Thanks Jeff!

I am making my very first batch as we speak, boil method. When I put it in to incubate, I set it for 9 hrs. The timer started counting up, wasn’t expecting that and was confused. I ran to you tube and looked you up and was reassured that my pot is working properly. Thanks so much for the video and instructions!

I've fallen in love with Greek yogurt and Amazon has a good deal on the IP Duo today. Thx for posting.

OMG! Thank you! This is the best recipe! It's so easy for making Greek Yogurt! I use the Noosa plain it comes out creamy every time!

I made regular yogurt over the weekend using your method and it was delicious! Thanks Jeff! Love your videos.

Jeffery, you are a hoot and a half! Thank you for all your encouragement, your orange and blue “Instant Pot Bibles” and just being fun to watch and learn from!

Made this yesterday and just sampled it (the sweet version) and its utterly delicious x Thank you for yet another great recipe x

Wow this is awesome I had no idea you could make yogurt like this, so cool!!

I followed your recipe for regular yogurt, Jeffery and it is so yummy!!!!! Thanks!

Im making yogurt for the first time using your recipe. My housemates and I are excited!!!

Can you link to that strainer? Thanks for the tutorial! I've been considering making my own yogurt but hadn't worked up the nerve yet.

Thank you!! You make learning how to use my new IP fun and relatively easy!! You are very watchable and welcoming!

Jeffrey Thank you for this yogurt video i am a Diabetic and i like to have homemade quick healthy easy recipes and i love yogurt but it's expensive so thank you for this recipe i really appreciate it.

Can I add sweetened condensed milk to the boil method yogurt? Unfortunately my Lux doesn't have the yogurt button so I have to do the boil method which is no big deal, I was just more curious as to if i could add the sweetened condensed milk or not.

Thanks for this demonstration. My first try wasn’t successful but you give me hope. Lol. I love your videos.

ty so much for caving on your yogurt stance :D I stopped buying yogurt at the grocery store when they started sweetening with frankenstein sweeteners. I absolutely love the idea of using condensed milk as a sweetener :)

Can Fairlife milk with DHA Omega-3 added be used to make yogurt? Thanks.

Love your videos. thanks so much you really helped me figure out what kind i like the best. I have already made the one with sweetened condensed and love , but I think I may leave it out the next time cause I don't need the added sugar.

Thank you. Very informative. Can't wait to make it in my Ultra. The creamy version!

Greek yogurt is also great for baked potatoes instead of sour cream.

People please leave his music alone, his video's are great, if you don't like the music, just tune it out. He has so much good information. and very plesant. Love you Jeffrey

Yeah I got an instapot and I am excited to make this! Love your recipes!❤️🌻🌷

Thanks for making the video I am so excited in making homemade yogurt. My grandmother used to make homemade yogurt the old fashion method. Now I have an instant pot can't wait to make it next weekend. I love fairlife it has more protein than reg milk.

Question: Id like to use some of the homemade yogurt as a starter for my next batch. However, if I add the sweetened condensed milk before making the yogurt, obviously the finished product will not be plain anymore. Will this cause any undesirable effects if you used this sweetened yogurt as a started for the next batch?

Hi Jeff...does it have to be WHOLE MILK Yogurt for the starter? Also could I use alittle Bliss Creamer along with the can of Sweetened Condensed milk to make it even alittle more sweeter ?

I made the sweetened condensed milk version and it set in fridge overnight. I just went to transfer it to another container and the SCM separated or settled. I had to mix it all together but now it is super runny. Any suggestions?

I have a 3 quart duo mini and a 6 quart duo when making yogurt in the 6 quart it says normal and in the 3 quart it says less , so do you know if that is for the pressure setting and it doesn't use pressure to make yogurt if it makes a difference and if it does is there a way to change the setting on the mini?

Hi,just found your video and it's amazing I just have a tiny question about the creamy yogurt, after it cooks do you have to keep it in the pot covered in foil or can it be transferred in a smaller container then rest in the fridge? Thank you in advance

I love when he said "what can't it do!? Well it can't do my taxes!!" This is video help inspire me! Thanks for posting!

I made the one using the condensed milk. It is the best yogurt ever. Not too sweet but just right. Made homemade granola for it and it is great! Thanks. Love all of your videos. Got my Granddaughter hooked on the instant pot and you too. My Granddaughter is ordering the strainer to do Greek. (I used Fage Greek yogurt)

Just got my Ultra. WhooHoo I'm making this today. It's cooking now. Fingers crossed 😊

Just made this as the video instructs. It came out perfectly and I have a strainer like Jeff's en route. I will make Greek yogurt next.

Brewing as I type. Can’t wait to try tomorrow!

I have an instant pot mini and it doesn’t have a normal - medium setting. It does have a custom temp setting. Should I set it at 190 degrees for the medium temp?

Hi Jeff, and thank you! I made the regular yogurt this way last night. Divine. Maybe too good! I'll certainly never buy it at the store again. Love your videos.

Would the one with sweetened condensed milk be good with Caramelized sweetened condensed milk? And, would it be ok to add vanilla to the sweet one at the beginning?

Please, please, please make more recipes in the Ultra pot!!!! Thank you :-)

Thanks! I had no idea you could make yogurt without heating the milk up and cooling it down before you added the yogurt starter. Thanks! I have that yogurt strainer, it works great. I have lined it with coffee filters, it makes getting the strained yogurt out a bit easier without hurting the fine mesh.

Hi, I love your videos, thank you!! I have a question, I have an Instant Pot Air Fryer + EPC Combo 8QT Electronic Pressure Cooker; what setting do I use for yogurt, then?

Hi Jeffrey. I made the regular yogurt yesterday and had some this morning. Yummy! Can the Greek yogurt also be flavored with the sweetened condensed milk? Would you still do it for 10 hours? BTY it is way better than any store-bought yogurt I've ever had. Thanks.

I have the duo crisp with air fryer. Want to make yogurt. It says to use sous vide. Is it suppose to show the time going down? Mine is only showing on after putting the time and the temp

I have found the easier and safer way to get the yogurt out of the strainer is.. Put the strainer lid over the yogurt and tip it upside down onto the lid. The yogurt will just plop right out. wala

I haven't tried the cold start method yet but now I will. That strainer you are using for Greek yogurt, could it be used to clarify stocks or broths too? Or would you avoid using it for yogurt and broth?

Turned out perfect!

Great video! What if your Instant Pot does not have a yogurt setting. Is it possible to do manually?

I have the duo crisp and there is no yogurt button but I heard it works with sous vide. I checked the internet and got varying recipes. Thoughts on what tou wpuld suggest?

Once the yogurt cycle is finished, is it alright to pour it into jars before letting it set in the refrigerator? Or, is it necessary to put it into the fridge immediately when finished?

So enjoyed watching your video. Very informative and so simply explained. Thank you for sharing.

I like mint flavored yogurt. I have added the flavor at the end but it doesn't seem to be as good as the store bought flavor. I was wondering if I should add it in the beginning, not sure how much per pot.

So i havent done much research on yogurt making yet, but im assuming when you use regular milk you boil it to sterilize it? If so then why do you not need to do that to the condensed milk?

Very good video! Clear directions and easy to watch!

Thanks! I've made yogurt before, but never the easy way you have shown. I've never tried the Fairlife milk, but I'm going to. The creamy yogurt looks so yummy!

Thanks for showing me how to make yogurt. I appreciate it

Hello, can yogurt starter be stored in the freezer? I was thinking about putting two tbsp of starter in tiny containers and storing in the freezer so I always have it. That way if I don't want to make yogurt within two weeks I don't have to buy a whole container of starter yogurt. PS Fairlife milk is now available in Canada. Thank you for the wonderful videos!

@Pressure Luck How much Greek yogurt did it make in one go? I'm just trying to compare the price here in Canada to see how much I'm actually saving

This might sound crazy, but my Instant Pot (Evo Duo Plus, 6Qt) doesn't have a medium setting. I'm looking under: Yogurt/Incubate/[High or Low]. Any advice?

can i use the yogurt i just made for the starter as my next batch?

Great video. Tanks. I was wondering what if I wanted to do a Cashew or Almond yougurt? Would it be the same way?

No matter who they are we are all one family , The Family of Mankind ! Blessed Be .Happy Holidays And a fantastic New year !!🎉🎊

I just got our instant pot for christmas. I was wondering, If I wanted to do whipped yogurt like yoplait does. How would I do that?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This totally fixed my Greek yogurt game 👌😁

Good video with two options for yogurt. Thank you.

Love yogurt, would love to try your amazing recipes, Do you have a link where I can purchase the yogurt strainer from, Thanks for sharing 😀❤️😀

I made this last night!! Added condensed milk!! YUMMY - Thanks Jeffrey

I have made your creamy yogurt and love it. But in watching this again, am wondering if you can add say 1/3 of the condensed milk to the greek yogurt just to give it a little sweetness. Will it still turn out thicker? I like greek yogurt because of the thickness but usually have to add something sweet to it so that it isn't so bland.

Thank you for your detailed videos!! You are awesome!! My type of thinking. Again, thank you, you are inspiring me to use my IP, as soon as it comes.

I have the IP Duo with Air Crisp, and thus no yogurt button - can I do the cold start method and thus not boil the milk?

I’m trying to figure out how to copy this recipe using the Duo-Evo-Plus. The choices I have is custom,pasteurize and ferment. I know I should use ferment. But there’s no medium setting. Only high and low. And that’s my question do I use high or low?

I been making yogurt for 6 years and havent bought a starter since. a new gallon of milk after heating to 185 degrees then i cool it down to115 degree add a quarter cup of my yogurt stir in put in insta pot with loose lid on venting. Turn on yogurt setting and push 12 hours. Then I put it in colander with coffee filters and let it drain two hours in pan underneath. Perfect thick yogurt every time.

Made yogurt using your recipe, it is fantastic. Will do it again.

I just did yogurt in my IP, it was set on low, I didn’t notice, ran for 8 hours is it any good now?

Tried your recipe for the "regular" yogurt. Omgosh! I followed each step and it came out perfect. There is no comparison with store bought. I will never buy yogurt from a store again. ❤❤

Great video, I got a couple of different things from it we always have here sweetened condensed milk to make flan. I also enjoyed seeing that yogurt strainer I'm going to get one of those I can also use that for when I make my pot cheese that is a cheese that is in between Cottage cheese and farmers cheese you could use it for desserts for regular dinner dishes, my favorite macaroni and pot cheese. Happy New Year!

Next time do I need another bought yogurt or can I use the end of the one I made to start a new batch? Thanks!

Was all set to make your yogurt and found out I don't have a yogurt button on my 8 qt Lux 80. So disappointed. Is there any other way I can make it in this pot. I also have a bread recipe that needs to use the yogurt button.

😆 I'm going to get a Insta/Pot now😉 Thanks for sharing!

🤣 hahahaaaaa, if you do ever find an Instant Pot that can do taxes, promise you'll let us know 🤣

Would you add vanilla in the beginning like you did with the sweetened condensed milk if you wanted that flavor? Or after it's done along with toppings?

Freeze the whey in an ice cube tray and then empty into a plastic freezer bag. Do the same with stocks.

Jeff I love all your videos!! Love my IP and love yogurt so I can’t wait to make it just like you showed us. Not sure about the sweetened condensed milk as I’m trying to avoid sugar so what about adding Stevia drops instead? Thank you so much. You’ve taught me everything I needed to know about using my IP. And, all your recipes are the best. 😍

i know you probably wont get this but im going to ask anyway..lol do you leave the lid gasket on? saw another video that advised taking the lid gasket off because it may contaminate the flavor

I really enjoyed your video! Informative and down to earth. I was just curious if anyone has try to flavor their yogurt with vanilla. How much flavoring should I use?

We have a 8 LT. new instant pot, it doesnt have a yogurt setting on it so what would we put it on ?

I never thought about using sweetened condensed milk to flavor the yogurt. It doesn’t effect the incubation results?? I don’t have a yogurt setting on my IP but I have seen some other videos of how to make it in a IP Lux. I’m going to try this next week! Thanks

Thank you so much for doing this video. It was so interesting but I don't have any desire to do it myself!

Can you make yogurt in an Instant Pot Lux even though it doesn’t have a “Yogurt” preset button?

Best video on instant pot yogurt. So many others were incomplete.

If you flavor the yogurt to make blueberry or strawberry yogurt would you puree the fruit and add to the milk in the beginning or you cant really do that?

Do you know the temperature in the instant pot for yogurt ? I need to have about 90 F to make french cheese like in my country . The base it's simple but instead of adding yogurt to the milk we add "presure" or lemon juice and whey from precedent batching . It is sooooo good but maybe you know about it. Thanks for your help. Merci beaucoup .
