CHOICE OF MILK FOR YOGURT
What milk should you use?
All our recipes (unless otherwise stipulated) 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. 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
semi-skimmed milk will result in less firm yogurt. However, you can use
semi-skimmed milk and add 3-5 tablespoons of dried skimmed milk
powder to 1 litre of milk
• Pasteurised fresh milk: this milk gives a more creamy yogurt with a
little bit of skin on the top. The milk must be boiled first, then left to cool
and strained through a sieve to remove the skin.
• Raw milk (farm milk): this must be boiled. It is also recommended to
let it boil for a long time. It would be unsafe to use this milk without
boiling it. You must then leave it to cool before using it in your appliance.
Culturing using yogurt prepared with raw milk is not recommended.
• Dried skimmed milk powder: using powdered milk will result in very
creamy yogurt. Reconstitute the powder as directed on the packet.
Choose a whole milk, preferably long-life UHT.
Raw (fresh) or pasteurised fresh milk must be boiled then cooled and
needs the skin removing.
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 deep sided oven-proof dish or
in individual oven-proof glass containers. The bowl fits about four yogurt
containers, depending on their size. Wash the bowl, dish or containers in
warm water and washing up liquid, then rinse and dry them thoroughly.
18
• 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 airborne 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 in the recipe book supplied
with your appliance. Also see the section “Choice of milk”.
• You can sweeten natural yogurt either when you eat them or when you
make them. After the yogurt is cooked, simply add one or two teaspoons
of sugar or honey per individual pot. Alternatively, when preparing the
yogurt mixture dissolve the sugar after boiling the milk or dissolve in the
cold UHT milk. Use no more than 80 g sugar for 1 litre milk.
• The “Yogurt Function” has a default cooking time of 8 hours. The
cooking time is adjustable from a minimum of 1 hour to a maximum
of 12 hours. A longer cooking time of 12 hour gives a more acidic and
firmer yogurt. A shorter cooking time of 6 hours gives a sweeter, more
fluid yogurt.
• After cooking label up the yogurt with the date it needs to be used by,
as stated in the recipe.
• When the yogurt cooking process has finished, the yogurt should be
cooled completely, covered with a lid or cling film. Chill the yogurt in
the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
This helps the yogurt to thicken slightly.
• 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 added will keep for up to 3 days.
• 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. Alternatively, you can pour it off.
• Homemade natural 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.

TIPS FOR COOKING PERFECT RICE.
Recommendations for rice cooking (Rice & Risotto
functions)
• Before cooking, measure out the rice using the measuring cup provided
and rinse the rice (do not rinse if making risotto).
1 Cup =
150 g = 1 cup raw white rice
• If you are cooking two cups of rice, for example, after washing the rice
and distributing it evenly in the bowl, add water up to the level 2 mark.
• Distribute the rinsed rice evenly over the surface of the bowl.
• When the rice is cooked and the “Keep Warm” indicator (fig. 14a)
comes on, stir the rice and leave it in the multicooker for several
minutes—this will result in perfectly cooked rice with seperated grains.

in the table above using the same quantity of rice measured in cups, not
grams. These types of rice weigh slightly heavier than other types of rice.
For sticky rice, reduce the quantity of water when cooking. Use 6 cups of
sticky rice and fill to the 5 cup water level mark. For 10 cups of sticky rice
fill to the 9 cup water level mark.
We recommend using the “Rice” function for cooking plain risotto rice
with water only and no additional ingredients. For recipes using stock and
additional ingredients we recommend using the “Risotto” function.
The time and temperature are automatic for rice cooking.
Please note that there are 7 steps:
Preheat => Water absorb => Temperature quick rise => Keep boiling =>
Water evaporation => Braise rice => Keep warm.
The cooking time depends on the quantity and type of rice.

Taking care of the bowl
For the bowl, carefully follow the instructions below:
• To ensure the maintenance of bowl quality, it is recommended not to
cut food in it.
• Make sure you put the bowl back into the multicooker.
• Use the plastic spoon provided or a wooden spoon and not a metal
‘utensil’ so as to avoid damaging the bowl surface – fig.14.
• To avoid any risk of corrosion, do not pour vinegar into the bowl.
• The colour of the bowl surface may change after using for the first time or
after longer use. This change in colour is due to the action of steam and
water and does not have any effect on the use of the multicooker, nor is it
dangerous for your health. It is perfectly safe to continue using it.
