OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare your yoghurt starter. Once you’ve made your yoghurt starter, distribute it evenly
among the nine glass jars and place them in the base tray of the yoghurt maker, with the lids
on.
2. Plug the yoghurt maker into the power and press the ON/OFF button to turn the machine on.
3. The machine will turn on and the time will flash. The default time is 10 hours.
4. Adjust the time using the UP and DOWN buttons. The time goes to a max of 99 hours and a
min of 0 hours.
5. To set the temperature, press SET. The temperature defaults to 42°C. You can adjust it to a
minimum of 25°C and a max of 65°C. Once you’ve chosen the desired temperature, press ON/
OFF again to start the yoghurt making cycle.
6. The machine will count down in one minute increments to 0. When the cycle is complete, the
machine will automatically turn off.
• Homemade yoghurt is generally more creamy and not as thick as commercial products.
• For best results, it is recommended that you run the cycle for a minimum of 10 hours to
enable the yoghurt to thicken. Once the cycle has ended, place the jars, with the lids on, in
the fridge to chill overnight. Chilling overnight will help the yoghurt to set for a firmer result.
• Always use longlife (UHT) milk in your starter recipe and note that it does not need to be
boiled before using. We also recommend using a pot set yoghurt in your starter for added
thickness.
• If you find your yoghurt is not as thick as you’d like after running the cycle, adding powdered
milk or draining the yoghurt through a fine mesh sieve will thicken the consistency.
• Yoghurt can be stored in the fridge for up to 10 days.
• You can use the yoghurt you have made to start off the next batch. However, the more often
you do this, the thinner your yoghurt will become. If it becomes too thin, you should start
afresh with a new yoghurt.
HOW TO MAKE PLAIN YOGHURT
Ingredients
• 200g full fat, pot set plain yoghurt
• 2L full fat longlife milk (room temperature)
Method
1. Add the yoghurt to a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the milk to the bowl, stirring well as
you go.
2. Once the mixture is thoroughly combined, distribute it evenly among the nine glass jars and
place them in the base tray of the yoghurt maker with the lids on.
3. Set the machine to ferment for 10 hours minimum.
4. When the cycle has completed, remove the jars from the tray and set aside to cool.
5. Once the jars have cooled, refrigerate with the lids on for at least 3 hours before consuming.
6. Strain off the whey for a thicker yoghurt (optional).
