PREPARATION OF NATURAL YOGURTS
1) For 7 glass pots, measure 1190 ml of milk from the market or fresh milk or pasteurized milk,
then pour it into a high-sided saucepan.
2) If necessary (according to the kind of milk used), the milk must be heated almost to the
boiling point (approximately 95°C). Keep the milk at this temperature for about 3 minutes,
then remove the pan from the heating source and allow the milk to cool to body
temperature (36°C). Do not allow the milk to boil, otherwise the yogurt will taste or smell
bad or will remain too soft.
3) If you use milk that does not need to be boiled, just heat it a little, then let it cool down to
body temperature (36°C).
4) Add the ferment and stir.
a) Powder ferment: take a little milk out of your saucepan, pour it into a glass pot,
add the ferment, close the glass pot and shake it vigorously in order to distribute
the ferment evenly.
b) Ferment coming from another yogurt: in your saucepan with cooled down milk,
stir one pot of natural yogurt (bought in a store or coming from a previous batch
of yogurts).
5) Distribute the mixture over the 7 glass pots. DO NOT PUT THE LIDS ON.
6) Put the glass pots in the yogurt maker and put the lid on the yogurt maker.
7) Plug in your yogurt maker. It takes about 6 hours to make yogurts from whole milk, and
about 8 hours to make yogurts from skimmed milk.
8) Digits are indicated on the handle of the lid (much like on a clock). When switching on the
appliance, check the time of day and put the corresponding digit of the hour in front of
the arrow. That way, you will remember the starting time and you will be able to calculate
the elapsed time easily.
9) Press the switch. It turns on when the yogurt maker is working.
10) After 6 or 8 hours, check that the yogurts have set well. If they have not, that is because
the ferment has not had time to act. Begin again starting from point 7. If the ferment has a
good quality, it should be a success after the second try.
11) When the yogurts have set, switch off the appliance.
12) If the yogurts have set well, close the glass pots with their lids and put the glass pots in the
refrigerator.
TIPS
Once you have made a first batch of yogurts with ferments, these are weakened and will give
less smooth yogurts than natural yogurts. Keep one to have ferments for the next batch of
yogurts. After 4 to 8 batches, according to the milk you chose and the conditions of use, we
recommend that you use new ones.
Once the yogurt maker is plugged, do not move it and make sure it will not be affected by
shocks or vibrations.
In some conditions of use, there can be much condensation. To gather water, we advise you
to always open your yogurt maker by making the lid pivot on the rear part of your yogurt
maker.
PRESERVATION
Since your yogurts are made without preservatives, the expiry time will be shorter than for
yogurts sold in shops.
We recommend eating your yogurts within 7 days. This length will vary according to the quality
and the freshness of the products used.
