I use an "old" InstantPot Duo with the yogurt button. I don't have access to raw milk that needs to be ultrapasturized, so I buy a 1/2 gallon of ultrapastuerized whole milk from the store, along with a small tub of plain yogurt that contains live cultures. I pour the milk into the InstantPot, wisk in the yogurt, hit the button (mine is set to 12 hours), and go to bed. I have yogurt in the morning. If I want it thicker than it is, I tip the pot and ladle out the whey. For super thick, Greek style, I would strain it. I also save some of each batch to use as the starter for future batches. Instant Pots are super!
I made my yogurt thus Saturday in my Instant pot. And strained it for 21 hrs. It made 2 qts 1/2 pint plus I got 1qt 1 pint of whey I use in my homemade whole wheat bread. Using freshly milled four.
I have been making Greek yogurt for the last 3 weeks in my instant pot, sooo healthy and delicious just add a little touch of honey and fresh blueberries., thank you love your videos
I’ve said it before but your channel is so relaxing! I love to watch your videos before bed, and who am I kidding- all the time! 🤣 You make everything so simple to learn
I make yogurt regularly. We eat it as is, add fruit or nuts and honey, but we cook a lot of Indian food which uses it. I simmer the whole milk for 5 minutes to break down the proteins so it’s thicker. Don’t simmer longer than 5 minutes though, because over 10 minutes will go back the other way and make it thin again. Another way to thicken yogurt is simply adding 1/4 c powdered milk to 1.5 ltr of milk (I like to use whole milk powder as I make whole milk yogurt.) I use both and get a yogurt that is thick and rich without being sour that doesn’t need the whey removed so the yogurt is higher protein. Try it this way, even just once. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Thank you! For some reason in order to get it thick like we like I need to strain off alot of whey. It takes a gallon of yogurt to a qt. Im going to try the powdered milk and I have heard of adding powdered gelatin too. Have you tried that and if so is it as effective? I have gelatin on hand more often than powdered milk
I have been making yogurt since the early 1970’s AND now I have an instant pot and a Ninja Foodi but have never used either for making yogurt. I have some times when all 7 of my kids were home but normally make about a gallon. I most of the time make yogurt using different fat content milk like whole milk but add two or three cups of heavy cream…it is like eating ice cream but not frozen. I also love to make yogurt bread using freshly ground hard white wheat….wonderful. Now, I have never seen the trick using the immersion blender and did not know you could even do that. I will have to try that. When my second daughter (of my five daughters…I had two sons…one in 1965 then my second son in 1968), 4th child, who was born in 1976, was little, she loved homemade yogurt, crushed pineapple and honey for a snack. Back when I started making yogurt, you could not buy any kind of yogurt at a regular grocery store…only at health food store and the term Greek yogurt had not even been invented yet. The changes I have seen! I always used to wish for a cow to milk or even just a place to buy raw milk……big sigh….but never got a cow nor found a place to buy raw milk. You are lucky even though you are so busy.
One thing I use rather than cheese cloth is the mesh paint straining bags you can get at a Home Depot or similar. There are various sizes. Launder and reuse. Too cute with the little one tasting the sap from the tree.
Good afternoon Ruthann, I am excited to get your yogurt recipe from your videos. I just wanted to say again that I think you have raised your children to be such wonderful children! They all know how they are loved. I get warm out just watching you work from before sun up to beyond sundown! God has made you as a gift to your family and thankfully you have been a gift to all of us who watch you on RUclips. I wish I could have watched you raise your children when I was the child birthing age, many, many years ago! I am 62 now. I have 4 kids, all grown now but have not contributed to others as God expects. They are not raising their children about Jesus as well as not giving them principals for a good life. I wish I were living in your neighborhood just to see you for myself. You are truly a gift from God and I thank him for giving you to us all. Thank you for all you do for my sake. I have learned so much watching you. I Pray that God will continue to bless you and your children. You have an Amazing Family! Do your children ever fight or argue with each other? I look forward to watching and learning more from you daily. Respectfully yours, Jilli
May God bless you for showing up here and blessing me with these kind words!! And yes our children bicker often… it’s all part of learning and growing!! Again, God bless you!!$
The new beverage servers that have a tap on the bottom are great for taking the milk out and leaves. the cream stay in the container . Much simpler than scooping it out.
We have family who are lactose intolerant. I use the ultra pasteurized milk in my Instant Pot. Thanks for the information on blending the yogurt before storing it. I made yogurt today, and I’m going to do that. Thank you ever so much. Really enjoy your channel, Ruthann. You are a wonderful teacher, and love watching your family.
I just love your videos, Ruthanne! If you ever have a need for 3 gallons of frozen yogurt on a hot summer day, I have a trick. I call it my cooking cooler. I have an inexpensive plastic box cooler (I think it's an old igloo brand). My husband sealed the drain plug with a bolt and washers. Anyway, I use my left over canning water, once it's cooled to under 115°F and I pour it around my 6 2qt. jars of prepared milk with yogurt culture added. Then close the lid and let it set overnight. Once I have the yogurt I separate it, add my fruits and sweets (I like sweetened condensed milk) and stick it in a 3 gallon bucket in my chest freezer. Violà! Frozen Yogurt! I also use that cooler and canning water (full temp) to cook about 40 ears of corn all at once. It's great for outdoor gatherings! ❤❤❤
Loving your channel you inspire me to try healthier ways ! I will try making yogurt now you explain it so simply 😊 God Bless you and your beautiful family🙏🇨🇦
Yes, God IS so so good. I love your videos so much, thank you for your time for teaching , I really appreciate your time. God Bless you and yours always and forever.
You are a natural-born teacher. Obviously gifted in that way and so many other ways. It's a master class for others to see what an excellent teacher does. As others have written, you are so calming. If only everyone could grow up in the atmosphere that you have going in your home. Godliness.
Thank you! I just got an Instant Pot and want to make some yogurt. I didn't realize that pasteurized milk only needs to heat to 120 degrees...that should save some time cooling it. Thanks for the whey use ideas.
The old fashioned way is how I make my yogurt. I haven’t been doing it more than a year and did not realize that it would set sooner. Thanks so much for sharing that. I let mine culture in my dehydrator on the lowest setting. It works great.
I love making my yogurt in a pot with venison for dinner’s recipe, but THIS trick with the jar in the pot is excellent. Less dishes, less transferring, less fuss. Love it, thank you!
I just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching all your videos! I love it! Its like going to a friend's house and sitting with a cup of coffee. You are so sweet.
great info on the instant pot I have not used mine for the yogurt yet I have been making mine in the slow cooker really easy. 1st time here looking forward to seeing all your videos
Because of you, RuthAnn, I now make our yogurt in the instant pot. Thank you for the inspiration. And it is hands down 100% better tasting than store bought.
I'm official a Ruth Ann junkie. I can't stop watching! So jealous of the rich soil. My land is rocky in Rockinsaw. I don't have the harsh long winters though.
Thank you for showing us these ways of making yogurt. Back in 1960s and 1970s, this is how my mother made yogurt. I just hadn't stopped to observe what she was doing. I usually buy a commercial starter and flavoring. Not anymore!! I'll be using my instant pot. Thank you again - I'm really enjoying your videos
Your yogurt looks wonderful! I've tried it many ways, but you've explained why mine sometimes sits up nicely!! Great Info! Just a maybe helpful hint, I use cloths pins to pin my cheesecloth to strainer to hold it in place, out of my way.
Thank you so much for making this process look so easy for those of us not in the instant pot world! I have some raw milk I am so anxious to get this made. Hopefully I’ll do it right since I will video it! 🤦♀️🤪
I very much enjoy your videos. Thank you. One thing I do not have the patience for is waiting the 2 hours for the milk to cool down so I do one extra step by removing the pot of hot water from the instant pot and placing it in cool water and in about 10 minutes it has cooled down enough to safely add the starter. Then I dry the outside of the pot and put it back in the instant pot and Carry on from there.
I love making Yogurt in my instant pot. I have struggled to find raw milk in my area. North Dakota has such strict dairy laws, and the small town i live in, I cannot have large livestock. I have even looked from here and around our lake house in Detroit Lakes, MN and asked around, i ask on my YT channel too, but noone seems to have dairy goats or cows around here...So i just buy organic milk when it is on sale, but i see all the blessings you have from dairy animals!!!
I learn so much from you Ruth. Thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge and for sharing it with us. Can you please share the difference from a health perspective the benefits of consuming raw unpasteurized milk to pasteurized milk.
Thank you so much. I've made yogurt before. Now I know why some is yummy & other batches sour 😊 I am very happy to have found your channel. Creator's blessings 🙏🏼
you are such a good communicator and teacher. Thank you. I have made yogurt for at least (?) 45 years...but only ever with store-bought whole milk, and always had good yogurt. My recipe calls for heating the milk to 110-120 degrees - store-bought. Cooling to near 112 and then adding the culture. It makes total sense the way you're doing it with raw milk. (and I can not eat the skin on the top!!! pure protein though, very healthy 🙂)
I learned how make yogurt on the stove using the instructions from a Syrian doctor and I made it that way until I bought my instant pot with the yogurt setting. I need to learn more recipes for yogurt for an individual. When I make it in the instant pot I will remove the inner pot and let it cool down to 110 before adding the live culture yogurt. I then put a lid on it and place in my oven with the oven light on if I used the stove top method or back in the instant pot and leave it for 8-10 hours depending on how tart you want it.
Hi Ruth Ann! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home and recipes. I was wondering if you have a video on how to make butter. I love the equipment you showed in the video but not sure when to get it
I got tired of fighting cheese cloth so went to the paint store and they have a bag with elastic around the edge used to strain clumps from paint. The shape works great to put in strainer and loop over the edge where the elastic holds it in place. No more fighting it falling in. Sooo much easier and then I can rinse and reuse or toss in the washer. Love then
This is great. I’ve been making my own yogurt for about a year now. I just add whole milk, some HWC and a couple Tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt into my Instant Pot, set it to Yogurt and let it go for 8-9 hours then put into the refrigerator overnight to strain. It’s delicious and the easiest thing I’ve ever made. Sorry, I wrote this comment BEFORE watching the entire video. 😂
I love the stainless steel plates could you please put a link for those plates? and as always I very much enjoyed your videos I've learnt so much from them thank you for showing us that although life isn't always easy their is another way of life. God bless your family ❤🙏
I use clothespins to hold the cheesecloth to the strainer,or those metal clips for stationary, either works great. I have been making my own yogurt for about 40 years.
I grew up eating yoghurt or as Eastern Europeans call it, sour milk. Never with sweet additions. We ate it chilled or room temperature with a little salt and a piece of rye bread. Especially in the summer.
I love making my yogurt in the Instapot. I cool my milk very quickly by putting the pot in a sink of cold water. I can get it down to 115 in about 5 minutes. I guess it depends on how cold your cold water is and how much you stir the milk to distribute and dispel the heat.
When I make cheese or yogurt I use cloth baby diapers for straining. I learned that trick from H Dairy goat 4-H leader. They work really well and are easier to clean than cheesecloth
Tip for your cheesecloth: I use the hyper tough spring clips (4 of them) at Wal-Mart to hold the cheesecloth to the strainer. Then I am not constantly pulling the cloth up. They rinse off beautifully and are very cheap. I just keep them in the bag with the cheesecloth.
Have you tried to use close pins to hold the edges of the cheese cloth in the pilots? I like making yogurt in my insta pot I have a different model, it’s a ‘dup’
I use Raw Cows milk. I purchase. and the ultimate probiotic yogurt maker from Amazon. I spent a lot of money buying probiotic yogurt and now since I've been making it I have saved a lot and it tastes so much better and I know what's in my yogurt
Ruthann why don't you make your own cook book of all the recipes you know. I would buy one. think about it.
Me too
I absolutely woukd buy a couple have friends that love you
Me too!
Same!!! I would buy four more as Christmas gifts for my sisters! Please, please, please!!!
I use an "old" InstantPot Duo with the yogurt button.
I don't have access to raw milk that needs to be ultrapasturized, so I buy a 1/2 gallon of ultrapastuerized whole milk from the store, along with a small tub of plain yogurt that contains live cultures.

Instant Pots are super!
I use raw milk and only heat to 110F :)
I made my yogurt thus Saturday in my Instant pot. And strained it for 21 hrs. It made 2 qts 1/2 pint plus I got 1qt 1 pint of whey I use in my homemade whole wheat bread. Using freshly milled four.

I did not realise how easy it is to make beautiful homemade yogurt. Thank you so much RuthAnn. I get so much value from watching your videos.❤

Sounds wonderful
Maybe recipe that heats to 110F is meant for the average person who buys pasteurized milk?
I use store milk, heat to 180, cool to 110, then add my culture, and it sit.😊
What brand of whole milk do you use? Does making homemade yogurt, make lactose free? My children stomachs are sensitive.
Thank you! For some reason in order to get it thick like we like I need to strain off alot of whey. It takes a gallon of yogurt to a qt. Im going to try the powdered milk and I have heard of adding powdered gelatin too. Have you tried that and if so is it as effective? I have gelatin on hand more often than powdered milk
Using the apple slicer is genius!!!! I would have never thought of that, THANK YOU!!
I absolutely love the picture of your son on this. The way his head is tilted and smiling. So precious!!

That’s a great idea!!!
I began using paint straining bags for making greek style yogurt about 10 years ago. Great results always. 👍🏻
I was thinking that using nut milk bags would work. I'd worry that paint bags are not food safe.🤥
I use extra large coffee filters, works great

I second that comment!!! May G-d bless all of us!!
The new beverage servers that have a tap on the bottom are great for taking the milk out and leaves. the cream stay in the container . Much simpler than scooping it out.
Can you PLZ show picture of this beverage server?
Yes! That is a great way. I have done it also with a gravy seperater
People didn't' have those years ago. lol She is showing the old fashioned way it was done.
Thanks for explaining the temps and cultures. I learn so much from you.
We have family who are lactose intolerant. I use the ultra pasteurized milk in my Instant Pot. Thanks for the information on blending the yogurt before storing it. I made yogurt today, and I’m going to do that. Thank you ever so much. Really enjoy your channel, Ruthann. You are a wonderful teacher, and love watching your family.
How can those who are intolerant eat your yogurt?
Yes Ruth ann a cook book so we can hold it on our hands and cherish it as we do you...
Your children are so cute. Just look at that sly smile on this little guy. Love it!
You are a great teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!☺️Regina

I enjoyed learning to make yogurt from you. Thank you for sharing I'd love to see how you make bread with the kefir too.
I’m so glad I found your channel, it’s great knowledge to have, and your family is precious.
Great kids!
Because of you, RuthAnn, I now make our yogurt in the instant pot. Thank you for the inspiration. And it is hands down 100% better tasting than store bought.
I'm official a Ruth Ann junkie. I can't stop watching! So jealous of the rich soil. My land is rocky in Rockinsaw. I don't have the harsh long winters though.
I'm with you! RuthAnn is my absolute favourite on RUclips ❤
Planning on trying this this week! Id like to do it with raw milk so I just need to find some In my area! Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial… very details love it ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for showing us these ways of making yogurt.
Back in 1960s and 1970s, this is how my mother made yogurt. I just hadn't stopped to observe what she was doing.
I usually buy a commercial starter and flavoring.
Not anymore!! I'll be using my instant pot.
Thank you again - I'm really enjoying your videos
Thank you, I have learned so much from you!
Your yogurt looks wonderful! I've tried it many ways, but you've explained why mine sometimes sits up nicely!! Great Info! Just a maybe helpful hint, I use cloths pins to pin my cheesecloth to strainer to hold it in place, out of my way.
Tu .. I now have confidence I can do this... u r a good teacher
You’ve just answered my question! I got clabbered milk! I didn’t hear it until a high enough point! Thank you thank you !!!! ❤❤❤
This is a great video, and the last few seconds of it are precious and the "God is good" perfectly summed up those last few seconds.
Thanks for the great explanation.
Thank you so much for making this process look so easy for those of us not in the instant pot world! I have some raw milk I am so anxious to get this made. Hopefully I’ll do it right since I will video it! 🤦♀️🤪

I really like your channel , i always learn something new thnk you 😊

I only have access to store bought as well. Does 120 let it get thick or does it need to be hotter to the 180 to thicken?
I so enjoy your channel Mrs Zimmerman!
Wow after watching this video, i realize I’ve been making my instant pot yogurt all wrong. Thanks for the video!
If your yogurt has been turning out okay then it wasn't the wrong way. There are many ways to do most things!
There is nothing like yoghurt made with the cream. Super yummy.
Will you share or show us how you make your homemade granola 😋 That sounds delicious !
Great info....thanks so much

Beautiful
Amazing
I love the fact that you use every last bit of yogurt in the container. Use it up, wear it out, do without. Recycle, repurpose, reuse!
Hi Ruth Ann! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home and recipes. I was wondering if you have a video on how to make butter. I love the equipment you showed in the video but not sure when to get it

made pasturized milk ypgurt for decades and still learning from you
WOW impressed again
Oooooooooh.... cream😳😻🍶
I could live on it!
Amazing….as a “city raised” adult I am really getting an education. Well done.
I use clothespins to hold the cheesecloth to the strainer,or those metal clips for stationary, either works great. I have been making my own yogurt for about 40 years.
Even with pasteurized milk, I get more consistent results by heating to 180.
That’s good to know!!!
My family loves yogurt also.
I grew up eating yoghurt or as Eastern Europeans call it, sour milk. Never with sweet additions. We ate it chilled or room temperature with a little salt and a piece of rye bread. Especially in the summer.
Interesting!!!
I love making my yogurt in the Instapot. I cool my milk very quickly by putting the pot in a sink of cold water. I can get it down to 115 in about 5 minutes. I guess it depends on how cold your cold water is and how much you stir the milk to distribute and dispel the heat.
This makes a great yogurt cheese too!
When I make cheese or yogurt I use cloth baby diapers for straining. I learned that trick from H Dairy goat 4-H leader. They work really well and are easier to clean than cheesecloth
Thanks RuthAnn 8-30-2023❤
Tip for your cheesecloth: I use the hyper tough spring clips (4 of them) at Wal-Mart to hold the cheesecloth to the strainer. Then I am not constantly pulling the cloth up. They rinse off beautifully and are very cheap. I just keep them in the bag with the cheesecloth.
Have you tried to use close pins to hold the edges of the cheese cloth in the pilots?
I like making yogurt in my insta pot I have a different model, it’s a ‘dup’
I have put the jars of innoculated milk in jars in my instant pot, too. Cuz I'm lazy. 🙂
❤Thank you❣️🌹
Very interesting
I use Raw Cows milk. I purchase. and the ultimate probiotic yogurt maker from Amazon. I spent a lot of money buying probiotic yogurt and now since I've been making it I have saved a lot and it tastes so much better and I know what's in my yogurt
