YOGHURT PROGRAM g (see also recipes starting on page 10)
To make yoghurt, you will need yoghurt culture and milk. Yoghurt culture contains the bacteria that
convert milk to yoghurt. Yoghurt culture can be obtained from:
• Fresh, yoghurt—use 30ml of unflavoured yoghurt. It must be fresh (look for a long expiry date).
• Yoghurt you made previously—the bacteria you need weakens over time so you can only do this
about 10 times before needing a new culture.
• Freeze-dried yoghurt culture—you can get this from a health food shop or pharmacy. If the
instructions on the package differ from ours, follow those on the package.
Whole milk will make a thicker yoghurt than low fat milk. To make it even thicker, you can add up to 8
tablespoons (12g) of dried milk powder. You may also use reconstituted powdered milk, or tinned
evaporated milk.
1. You need to kill the bacteria in the milk, to prevent them competing with the bacteria in the yoghurt
culture.
2. To do this, use your multi cooker to bring the cooking liquid to just below boiling—see SAUTÉ/BOIL.
Stop heating when small bubbles form round the edges of the bowl. Leave the milk cool to about 37
- 45°C.
3. With the yoghurt culture at room temperature, stir it into the milk. They must be thoroughly mixed, or
the yoghurt will be lumpy.
