Please use this recipe only for your family needs Bon appetit! Here is the answer for the most often question about heating milk to 180F. There are two reasons why milk is traditionally scalded (heating to 180F) - brought to a simmer - before being made into yogurt. The first is to kill off any wild bacteria, yeast or mold spores that might have fallen into the milk. This is important because you want your preferred lactic-acid bacterial strains to do the culturing of the milk, not get outcompeted by various mystery microbes. The second advantage to the heating stage is that the most abundant protein in the whey of in milk - lactoglobulin - fully denatures and unfolds at about 172-degrees. This allows those proteins to bind to some of the other proteins in milk, called caseins. Ostensible result: a firmer, thicker yogurt curd. There is another question: " Is it necessary to heat pasteurized milk what already was heated?" Here is the answer. According en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteurization there are two ways of pasteurization 130-160F for 15 seconds and 275F for 2 second. It kills germs, but it's not enough time for the most abundant protein in the whey of in milk - lactoglobulin - fully denatures and unfolds. In different countries there are different ways of pasteurization, but they are very similar to each other, but all of them are trying to not changing too much the quality of the milk protein. That is why heating for 180F for 2-3 minutes (or boil it) is necessary, if you want to get nice and firm yogurt. I hope it helps. DIY #DIY #DoItYourself #Homemade #ABVideoStories

How 900 people disliked this its beyond my comprehension... this recipe it's easy and well explained right to the point and dude its adorable! What's not to like?!?! Thank you for your time! And recipe
900 vs 15770 is not bad. 900 actually are who promoting expensive and unnecessary yogurt starters and who is selling special equipment instead of using just regular yogurt and kitchen inventory everyone has.
Just like to say thanks for this. I did this last night with with 2 Litres of milk and 3 spoons of yoghurt. It had all set beautifully this morning, so enjoyed a fruit parfait for breakfast :)
I saw your video last night and I got up and did exactly wat you did, lucky me that I had everything i needed. So I took the time to do it and Wala! This morning I have made my best yougurt ever. Gracias from Mexico. You have the best video on yougurt Sir. Congratulations!
If you strain some reserving the “whey” that is collected from straining, you keep that and use it when you make homemade mayo. It extends the life of the mayo by weeks! And then what you’re left with is Greek Yoghurt. Yummy
The only video I've seen that talks about "heating for 180F for 2-3 minutes." This seems to be the missing link in all the other yogurt recipes. I googled it and did find several confirmations. Thank you so much! You are a life saver.
My husband and I eat yogurt at least once a day, every day and we look forward to trying your method of cooling it down quickly. Just wanted you to know we enjoyed this video very much. I appreciate you taking your time to make it for those who do not know how to make yogurt and even for those who have the "know how". I read several comments from negative people who felt they needed to get their grumpy opinion out to the world....ignore them and just keep making these wonderful videos; I know I have learned some things from your videos and I enjoy your "accent" and sense of humor !!!! Good job ! You got a friend in Texas !
Traditional Indian way. Back there, milk is like warm almost room temperature, women of the house just throw a spoon of yougurt into it and next morning it is ready. Temperature and the culture are key. The Indian culture is able to curd up the milk at room temperature, American ones need higher temps. Experience only, not sure what science is involved.... Don't care either, just make good yogurt and enjoy. Excellent presentation!! Very nicely done.And what a friendly guy this fellow is!! Loved it.
Okay, back to that question of heating milk intended for yogurt making to 180 degrees. There are two reasons why milk is traditionally scalded - brought to a simmer - before being made into yogurt. The first is to kill off any wild bacteria, yeast or mold spores that might have fallen into the milk. This is important because you want your preferred lactic-acid bacterial strains to do the culturing of the milk, not get outcompeted by various mystery microbes. The second advantage to the heating stage is that the most abundant protein in the whey of in milk - lactoglobulin - fully denatures and unfolds at about 172-degrees. This allows those proteins to bind to some of the other proteins in milk, called caseins. Ostensible result: a firmer, thicker yogurt curd.
I tried it last night and IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS!!! I am stoked!!! No more liquidy yogurt for me!!! Thank you SO very much!! You have changed my life!!
@@itsjude9541 Maybe put some in a container you can warm up in a sink of warm water for a few hours. Keep up with the temperature of your water, keep it warm. It may change for you. I wouldn't try with a whole gallon or 2; just maybe put some of your mixture in a mason jar...
Hiiii again after trying four times, my yogurt is finally as I wanted, i followed exactly what you said, with the numbers, and yes I made it, my yogurt came out thick , soft, and delicious thanks again🙏!! Guys if we put the milk to hot or hot on the storage, that can kills the bacterias, I believe that was what happened to me with my others yogurts. When you are going to store your yogurt make sure it is just warm not hot.
Using a cooler is a good tip! I read a lot of the comments and it seems many people are criticizing you or saying you left out details. You did a great job and covered what needs to be done correctly. People need to use Google and figure it out for themselves instead of inundating you with questions. Have a great day!
Thank you. Thank you. I love yogurt and tried your recipe. I got up this morning to wonderful yogurt. 7 cups milk. 1/4 cup yogurt. After 12 hours I drained overnight through cheesecloth in refrigerator. Yummy.
Tried this today and made one big mistake. I made it in the daytime. So, around twelve hours later I had to get out of bed to check it. Everything looks great, the yogurt's in the fridge and I'm back in bed. Fabulously easy recipe. Thank you.
I found this tutorial years ago on how to make yogurt. It's become a simple task but you were the first to explain this process to me. Thank you for posting this.
i only cooked it till bubbles started to form and then cooled down naturally 30 min in dark spot , the result next day was stunning , best yogurt i ever eaten
Hey, this is super easy. For my starter, I used 1 scoop favorite organic yogurt plus a little bit of kefir (also a favorite). I used whole milk for my base. In the morning, I chilled the yogurt. Couple hours later I had the best, mildest yogurt ever. Thanks!
I just discovered your channel and at the best time for me. I am having health issues with digestion caused by super sensitivity to artificial sweeteners and stevia. I mistakenly ate yogurt that had some in it under a name I didn’t recognize as artificial sweeteners. I’ve been researching how to make my own yogurt, kefir, and electrolyte drink to help with dehydration. Thank you for making this video! It’s easy to understand how to make it. I’m going to try this probably tomorrow.
After 3 attempts to make homemade yogurt following You Tube videos, I eventually attempted to make it again following your video instructions. It was simple and easy to follow. Viola! I made the best yogurt. Thank you
I've been making my own yogurt for years. It never dawned on me to use a cooler! Bolshoya spasiba! Invariably, the crock in the blanket gets too cool, the oven on warm goes off. This is a stroke of genius! For what it's worth, I like cooling the yogurt for about 24 hours after it has been prepared. I think it has a better consistency and a better flavor, especially if you are using lower fat milk.
Thank you so much for such a simple and thorough recipe! I work long hours, so I'll set this up and have something to look forward to when I come home :)
The cooler is a great idea. I've been warming up the oven slightly to start and ageing my leben in there for 12 hours. After 40 years of making this recipe a new idea is nice. Of course I usually get my starter portion from a previous batch but I have used store products as well.
I had been trying to make yogurt occasionally for five years. Finally, I made it with this recipe! You have to give it a try guys. If I made it, you can make it! Thank you thank you thank you :)
Since last comment I made this exact recipe and it came out fabulous. Amazing!! I did simplify the process for myself just a little. Instead of using a cooler, I wrapped my yogurt in a towel and placed it onto oven rack leaving the oven light on for warmth. It worked like a charm and it was easy. Very good recipe. 😋
I liked your video. My method is lightly different. My yogurt comes out nutty,not slimy. I heat the milk to boiling. Cool it to 106-108 deg F (41-42 deg C). Then in separate cup whisk 1 to 2 tablespoon of yogurt. Add the warm milk and keep mixing till the cup is full. This ensures fully mixed yogurt in milk. Then add this fully mixed cup to the milk pot and stir. Then keep it in a warm place like you did, or use a yogurt maker to keep warm. After 6 to 8 hours the yogurt is ready, each spoon you take will come out clean and not slimy.
Thank you sir, yesterday night l made yogurt following your recipe. in the morning I checked the yogurt it was the same like yours. Since the yogurt was sweet I left in the same place wrapped with towel another 12 hours, then my yogurt got a little bit sour. Thank you for the proper instruction.
Hello, your video was just recommended to me. Your yogurt looks like what Greek yogurt looks like in the states. Greek style is my favorite with a drizzle of honey and some nuts or seeds. Thank you for sharing your way of making yogurt, much appreciated!😉
Love your video. The yogurt looks nice and thick. I love Greek Yogurt with a drizzle of honey. My mothers from Europe and there were no thermometers there in the village where she was born, just her wrist. The same wrist that tested a babies bottle or warm drink for baby. Her wrist told her when the milk was just right to add the yogurt. The counter was her cooling spot. After 12 hrs. She put it right in the fridge she never even checked it. I do the same and it never fails. But those who have trouble with knowing about temperature ect. a thermometer is great to own, especially the ones that hang from the pot.
I put the yogurt milk in quart jars, put them on a cookie sheet, and stick in the oven, with just the oven light on, for overnight. The oven light gives just a little heat to encourage the culture to grow into yogurt.
Thank you very much for uploaded this video. I previously tried 2 times and failed. I followed your instructions and sure enough I have perfect yogurt. Thanks once again.
I have to try this. I use to make my yogourt all the time with my Rolmex machine and powdered culture...I got sort of lazy and started buying store brands, but I want to get back to a more natural yogourt. Thanks for convincing me!
I hope you come back and make more videos! I loved your personality and how sweet you are. Also, I could listen to you talk all day. Love your (to me of course) accent.
I tried this recipe over the weekend as I had been having trouble making yogurt consistently with other methods using a dry starter culture. This recipe turned out great and yielded the best results yet! Thank you for sharing.
I boil a mug of water in my microwave and then I put my yogurt in there with a kitchen cloth wrapped around it. 12 hours in the microwave warm and humid it works perfectly
Yes, save the whey!! You can make home-made fermented salsa!!! OR Fermented veggies of any kind. Kimchi, beets, cauliflower etc. It's sooo delicious and so good for us. I make yoghurt for the whey and the greek yogurt is a bonus!!! Loved the ease of this method! I'll give it a try.
Thank you for explaining the reason the milk should be heated to 185F degrees. And why you add yogurt when it is cooled down to 113F. Now I feel confident making yogurt. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your cooking.
I always make yogurt in my house!!Jut stay 6 hours outside and in fridge I don’t touch my yogurt 24 hours and the yogurt like rocks!If you wanna make yogurt use glass jars for best result!first boiled very good and stay settled little cold put your little finger inside the glass jar and wait 7 second if your finger is not burned add the yogurt and closed and cover som blanket after 6,7 hours put in refrigerator wait 24 hours that’s it!!
No...my methedos is only 3 hours....! Just close bottle and touch tip of tongue to hot jar. If it doesnt burn no good. Re-boiling until tiny splinter erupts from toe fungus....then Walla! Too many yogurt season.
I make the plain yogurt as it seemed I can never buy enough of it! I am giving way more starter yogurt than what you gave-- I will try your recipe, also I am surprised to see how deep the yogurt can set!! Thank you!
I do most of the same steps but I use my Insta pot which has a yogurt setting. It doesn't use pressure but keeps the solution at a perfect temperature and shuts off automatically depending on the time you specify. Usually 6-8 hours.
@@AB-DIY using my 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup I also heat the milk to 180f in the microwave, then use the defrost setting set to 15 min which cycles on and off, keeping the milk at 180 to ensure pasteurization. Then I set the cup in the sink and fill nearly to the top of the cup with cold water. It usually takes about 15 min to cool to 110f. Then I whisk in a few tbsp of plain yogurt from a previous batch. I then place the cup in the Insta pot on the trivet over a cup of hot water, cover, with the release valve open, select yogurt, and set the time to 6 hrs. It's so easy but it does require a thermometer for checking the milk temp. Sure beats the old days when I put a bowl on a rack over a heating pad all wrapped in a down jacket......too darned funny😎 Anyway I strain out most of the whey, making Greek style yogurt. A great substitute for sour cream. I refrigerate or freeze the whey for other uses.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful & easy to follow yogurt recipe! using the cooler is a brilliant idea because I wasn't sure how to keep 110 temperature for 12hrs👌 Thanks from Vancouver, Canada
I was going to give up on making yogurt because I fail half the time,due to temperature fluctuation. I will try again, using the cooler method. I'm subscribing to your channel. Thank you!
A belgen man showed me this 2 yrs ago n I tried once it was to liquid i will try this tonight. Thank you. Oh I was told you have to start with plain Greek yogurt it has live enzyme s.
The gallon milk is already pasterized, just warm it and add the plain yogurth, in Mexico we also make what we call jocoque or what sound in English hokoke If you get a just extracted milk from a local farm then you will need to pass it trough a cloth to eliminate visible impurities and then boil it, wait until is just warm, you can put aside the grease cream on top and eat it with corn tortilla as taco, well the point is your yogur is so clean maybe lose the good probiotic bacteria good for health, salud ! good health for you !
Thank you so much, I love yogurt but is pricey where I live (Costa Rica) I thought it was very difficult to make this great nutritious food but your video was clear, well explained and the results were fantastic. Once again thank you, my first batch will be raised to your health.
With a twist: You can warm the milk *inside their original plastic or cardboard containers* to the right temperature, so that its already sterilized, add the yoghurt starter and keep it warm so that you turn a jug of milk into a jug of yoghurt. Try to keep it in the vicinity of 35-45'C all the time. I enjoyed your video and the ice box is a very good idea. I was looking for larger volume preparations and your ice box method is brilliant in its elegance. If you could get a thermostat immersion heater such as used in aquariums but then settable to around 40'C you could immerse it in the ice box, with a layer of salt water (brine) in the icebox to transfer the heat to the milk jugs. You could then take the milk jugs, top them off with yoghurt starter, give them a shake and put in the heated icebox, and simply take out the warm yoghurt after the hours have passed. This could result in continuous operation of yoghurt in this production unit for the personal use of your family and friends.
12 hours? Damn! Well I guess everyone is different. I am Mediterranean, the way we do it, is we boil the milk first, and when it's ready we let it cool down (we don't rush the process like the sink) we usually leave it by the window so it cools down. To know if it cool down we test it by putting our pinky finger in and we count to 10, if your finger can't handle the heat than it isn't ready, but if it does than it's ready! We than put yogurt (tea cup size) in the milk and we mix it together. We than get a cloth we cover it and leave it on the table. After 3 hours it's done. The reason we don't leave it more than 3 hours it's because it becomes sour after that. Not saying your way Is wrong but just thought I'd share a much less hours one 😊
Thanks for sharing! I usually boil it too just to simplify the hitting part. But using Greek yogurt, for example, 3 hours are not enough as I found. In 12 hours it's just a perfect outcome.
Beautifully done sir. I have made it the same way. I have to say that it is my favorite method. I love that you cut it with jam though! I normally hang it and make yogurt cheese with half of it. But the watching you eat that has made me want to make some more now. Danke
Matey you do not have to stir the old yoghurt into the warm milk. Just slide it down the side and you will get the same or infect better yoghurt. Been making it for years. The blanket and keep warm container is to control the temperature especially in cold countries. If you have an ambient warm temperature you can keep it in the kitchen or anywhere and it will become yoghurt. That’s how it is done in warm countries. Where the whole house is warm but the bedrooms have the Aircon on. Cheers try it without stirring and see
Thank you so much. Your instructions are clear and simple to follow. I am excited to try this, and I have subscribed to your channel. Thanks from New Zealand.

Here is the answer for the most often question about heating milk to 180F. There are two reasons why milk is traditionally scalded (heating to 180F) - brought to a simmer - before being made into yogurt.
The first is to kill off any wild bacteria, yeast or mold spores that might have fallen into the milk. This is important because you want your preferred lactic-acid bacterial strains to do the culturing of the milk, not get outcompeted by various mystery microbes.
The second advantage to the heating stage is that the most abundant protein in the whey of in milk - lactoglobulin - fully denatures and unfolds at about 172-degrees. This allows those proteins to bind to some of the other proteins in milk, called caseins. Ostensible result: a firmer, thicker yogurt curd.
There is another question: " Is it necessary to heat pasteurized milk what already was heated?"
Here is the answer.
According en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteurization there are two ways of pasteurization 130-160F for 15 seconds and 275F for 2 second. It kills germs, but it's not enough time for the most abundant protein in the whey of in milk - lactoglobulin - fully denatures and unfolds. In different countries there are different ways of pasteurization, but they are very similar to each other, but all of them are trying to not changing too much the quality of the milk protein. That is why heating for 180F for 2-3 minutes (or boil it) is necessary, if you want to get nice and firm yogurt.
I hope it helps. DIY

I put the yogurt milk in quart jars, put them on a cookie sheet, and stick in the oven, with just the oven light on, for overnight. The oven light gives just a little heat to encourage the culture to grow into yogurt.
in case you don't have starting yogurt sample to add to the sterilized milk squeeze a lime in that. That works fine too.
That will change the milk substance... but I will try
All I can say is WOW WOW WOW
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thank you very much for uploaded this video. I previously tried 2 times and failed. I followed your instructions and sure enough I have perfect yogurt. Thanks once again.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
I’m using this method now. I love how I can make such a large quantity at once. Thank you!
Glad you like it!
I have to try this. I use to make my yogourt all the time with my Rolmex machine and powdered culture...I got sort of lazy and started buying store brands, but I want to get back to a more natural yogourt. Thanks for convincing me!
So beautiful and easy to make it thanks
I hope you come back and make more videos! I loved your personality and how sweet you are.
Also, I could listen to you talk all day. Love your (to me of course) accent.
Oh thank you!
I tried this recipe over the weekend as I had been having trouble making yogurt consistently with other methods using a dry starter culture. This recipe turned out great and yielded the best results yet! Thank you for sharing.
I boil a mug of water in my microwave and then I put my yogurt in there with a kitchen cloth wrapped around it. 12 hours in the microwave warm and humid it works perfectly
Good for you
Strain it through cheesecloth and you have greek style yogurt, then keep the whey as culture for the next batch the week later
Or you can use the yogurt you made. I put 2 or 3 tablespoons in a container in the freezer and thaw it and use it as a starter for the next batch.
I like to freeze the whey and use it when baking bread and pizza dough
Yes, save the whey!! You can make home-made fermented salsa!!! OR Fermented veggies of any kind. Kimchi, beets, cauliflower etc. It's sooo delicious and so good for us. I make yoghurt for the whey and the greek yogurt is a bonus!!! Loved the ease of this method! I'll give it a try.
This Exactly How you make Yogurt. I have followed thses steps and made yogurt
Thank you for explaining the reason the milk should be heated to 185F degrees. And why you add yogurt when it is cooled down to 113F. Now I feel confident making yogurt. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your cooking.
This recipe is far better than any yogurt you can purchase in the store. Very easy and excellent recipe! Thank you so much for sharing!😘
Glad you like it!
He looks very kind and gentle man thanks for you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I always make yogurt in my house!!Jut stay 6 hours outside and in fridge I don’t touch my yogurt 24 hours and the yogurt like rocks!If you wanna make yogurt use glass jars for best result!first boiled very good and stay settled little cold put your little finger inside the glass jar and wait 7 second if your finger is not burned add the yogurt and closed and cover som blanket after 6,7 hours put in refrigerator wait 24 hours that’s it!!
Everyone is going its own way. Yours is good too. Enjoy and thank you for watching.
DIY
No .... my yogurt is ready only in 5-6 hours without fridge ...only need some hot place .... and cover it with some hot clothe
No...my methedos is only 3 hours....! Just close bottle and touch tip of tongue to hot jar. If it doesnt burn no good. Re-boiling until tiny splinter erupts from toe fungus....then Walla! Too many yogurt season.
Really 7? I do 4.
I don't understand this method of an ice bath. We wrap ours in blankets and in the morning it's done.
You made this look so uncomplicated and EASY! Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
I am Vietnamese woman and this looks so good. I hope it will turn out well just like your😂
Thienphu Tran how do you do it chi oi with the whole gallon
I would use smaller batches to practice
Great recipe to do and straight forward . Thanks from Thailand
I love yogurt with a passion!!!... The chef was a nice gentleman!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe with me✋🏾
Haha I love this guys nonchalant demeanor!
180 F then 110 F nice.
the way you wraped it was perfect. thank you
bonne appétit
Glad you liked it!
I make the plain yogurt as it seemed I can never buy enough of it! I am giving way more starter yogurt than what you gave-- I will try your recipe, also I am surprised to see how deep the yogurt can set!! Thank you!
I do most of the same steps but I use my Insta pot which has a yogurt setting. It doesn't use pressure but keeps the solution at a perfect temperature and shuts off automatically depending on the time you specify. Usually 6-8 hours.
Nice!
@@AB-DIY using my 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup I also heat the milk to 180f in the microwave, then use the defrost setting set to 15 min which cycles on and off, keeping the milk at 180 to ensure pasteurization. Then I set the cup in the sink and fill nearly to the top of the cup with cold water. It usually takes about 15 min to cool to 110f. Then I whisk in a few tbsp of plain yogurt from a previous batch. I then place the cup in the Insta pot on the trivet over a cup of hot water, cover, with the release valve open, select yogurt, and set the time to 6 hrs. It's so easy but it does require a thermometer for checking the milk temp. Sure beats the old days when I put a bowl on a rack over a heating pad all wrapped in a down jacket......too darned funny😎 Anyway I strain out most of the whey, making Greek style yogurt. A great substitute for sour cream. I refrigerate or freeze the whey for other uses.
Great video - thank you for sharing. I like the pot that you used. It looks like the perfect size.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful & easy to follow yogurt recipe! using the cooler is a brilliant idea because I wasn't sure how to keep 110 temperature for 12hrs👌
Thanks from Vancouver, Canada
Glad it was helpful!
This is by far the simplest homemade yogurt instruction I've watched. Thanks for sharing.
I was going to give up on making yogurt because I fail half the time,due to temperature fluctuation. I will try again, using the cooler method. I'm subscribing to your channel. Thank you!
Good luck!
Thanks so much.I have a yourget maker but from your method can make alot.I will make and let you know.Greetings from Sri.Lanka.
Yeah! Kotmale and Highland commercially produced yoghurts are too overrated it seems! Its such a simple procedure! 😁
You remind me of my dad, idk why I smiled watching this video haha ! have a great day and thanks for the recipe
This is amazing! But I know if I tried this I would go to bed and not sleep a wink because of the excitement! Thanks for the tutorial and Bon Apetit!
what a nice, beautiful and clean house!!!
@@Bodragon ohhhh my gosh... !!!!! LOL too funny !!!!!
@@Bodragon it’s your face reflecting on your screen
Thank you!
You did perfectly well.Its much more tastier than buying ready made. God Bless.
Excellent video! Very informative, thank-you very much!
Thanks a lot. I was wondering why some people heat milk and some people don't . After read your description found out I want to heat my milk haha
Please read my pinned comment. Thank you!
Best yogurt making video I've seen. Thanks bud.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A belgen man showed me this 2 yrs ago n I tried once it was to liquid i will try this tonight. Thank you. Oh I was told you have to start with plain Greek yogurt it has live enzyme s.
All yogurts have to have live enzymes, otherwise you can sue the seller.
Thanks for watching
DIY
HI
It has live cultures!
I made your home made yogurt again today! So excited
Thank you so much. It is so much better than store bought...
Enjoy!
The gallon milk is already pasterized, just warm it and add the plain yogurth, in Mexico we also make what we call jocoque or what sound in English hokoke If you get a just extracted milk from a local farm then you will need to pass it trough a cloth to eliminate visible impurities and then boil it, wait until is just warm, you can put aside the grease cream on top and eat it with corn tortilla as taco, well the point is your yogur is so clean maybe lose the good probiotic bacteria good for health, salud ! good health for you !
I'm going to make some but use organic milk. I also make organic kombucha. So good for your tummy ♡
Organic is good, but not every big family afford it.
@@AB-DIY so true ♡
Would love to make my own Kimbucha
Thank you so much, I love yogurt but is pricey where I live (Costa Rica) I thought it was very difficult to make this great nutritious food but your video was clear, well explained and the results were fantastic. Once again thank you, my first batch will be raised to your health.
Thank you!
The cooling down is a lot easier if you just leave it sitting for an hour with the lid off but with a washing up cloth draped over the pan
Okey
Thank you so much...I love having yogurt to relax myself after a stressful workout...
Thank you for showing us I will use this and see how it turns out ❤
Hope you like it!
That is perfection. And I love the pot you made it in too.
Well done...just tried it and tested it very good like yours...my third try from various methods I nearly gave up glad I didn’t...love from Wales
Glad it helped
With a twist: You can warm the milk *inside their original plastic or cardboard containers* to the right temperature, so that its already sterilized, add the yoghurt starter and keep it warm so that you turn a jug of milk into a jug of yoghurt. Try to keep it in the vicinity of 35-45'C all the time.
I enjoyed your video and the ice box is a very good idea. I was looking for larger volume preparations and your ice box method is brilliant in its elegance. If you could get a thermostat immersion heater such as used in aquariums but then settable to around 40'C you could immerse it in the ice box, with a layer of salt water (brine) in the icebox to transfer the heat to the milk jugs. You could then take the milk jugs, top them off with yoghurt starter, give them a shake and put in the heated icebox, and simply take out the warm yoghurt after the hours have passed. This could result in continuous operation of yoghurt in this production unit for the personal use of your family and friends.
Heating to 180F is not only sterilization. It's a milk protein modification so yogurt culture can digest it.
12 hours? Damn! Well I guess everyone is different. I am Mediterranean, the way we do it, is we boil the milk first, and when it's ready we let it cool down (we don't rush the process like the sink) we usually leave it by the window so it cools down. To know if it cool down we test it by putting our pinky finger in and we count to 10, if your finger can't handle the heat than it isn't ready, but if it does than it's ready! We than put yogurt (tea cup size) in the milk and we mix it together. We than get a cloth we cover it and leave it on the table. After 3 hours it's done. The reason we don't leave it more than 3 hours it's because it becomes sour after that. Not saying your way Is wrong but just thought I'd share a much less hours one 😊
Thanks for sharing! I usually boil it too just to simplify the hitting part. But using Greek yogurt, for example, 3 hours are not enough as I found. In 12 hours it's just a perfect outcome.
how do you keep the milk up to temperature? don't you need to keep the milk warm?
@@hollymerchant9550 yes, I wrap it with 2 big towels and it stays warm until is ready.
I never made yoghurt but with those informations, tomorrow will be the first time. Thanks so much
Good luck!
Beautifully done sir. I have made it the same way. I have to say that it is my favorite method.
I love that you cut it with jam though! I normally hang it and make yogurt cheese with half of it. But the watching you eat that has made me want to make some more now.
Danke
How do you make yogurt cheese?
Good Recipe! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for posting this. Never seen yoghurt made this way before with heating and cooling process.
Matey you do not have to stir the old yoghurt into the warm milk. Just slide it down the side and you will get the same or infect better yoghurt. Been making it for years. The blanket and keep warm container is to control the temperature especially in cold countries. If you have an ambient warm temperature you can keep it in the kitchen or anywhere and it will become yoghurt. That’s how it is done in warm countries. Where the whole house is warm but the bedrooms have the Aircon on. Cheers try it without stirring and see
I tried this and it works!!!! And the yogurt is delicious!!
I'll attempt this boiling cooling process in between washing and drying my hair, I'll save on time clean water and ICE. Lovely recipe. Thank you
That is what I do. I use just a water in case if some of viewers don't have that luxury. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much. Your instructions are clear and simple to follow. I am excited to try this, and I have subscribed to your channel. Thanks from New Zealand.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
What a charming person!!! And the yogurt looks good too😉
"That is what I believe everyone loves!" 😻lol!
I am making my own yogurt right now while watching your video. Thank you for posting and sharing. 😊
Greatly helpful….blessings to you.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Awesome , so nice to see someone made it in perfect way. Thanks 🙏
Fantastic way of doing it.
