Please note I mistakenly inserted a clip in the wrong order at the 5:50 mark! The checking to see if the yogurt is set is optional and is done AFTER the starter is added. I usually do it about halfway though the setting period. So sorry guys! Idk how to edit a video once it has been posted! Embarrassing but I am definately not an expert film editor! Sorry!
I make mine at night (half gallon) and sweeten it with a can of sweetened condensed milk. In the morning it is ready and thick and delicious. No need to strain.
There is so much sugar, though. :( UGH, trying to eat healthier which is why Im6making it. BUT I have to try something because what I've been doing and using is not working.
Dear Gina, I am grateful for your recipe. Perfect is the word. I followed your pocess and the result is sooo amazing, it's now turned into my staple. Thank you again for sharing it.
I'm your fan. Your recipe is what yogurt is like. I've shared with my parents, neighbor, son and daughter. They loved it too. Thanks again, yours is an act of goodness. Lorenza
I loved watching how to make yogurt in the instant pot, but it does take awhile! I love how you were working towards 1000 followers, look at you now ❤️
For a first timer, it would have been helpful to say which of the instant pot settings you used before adding the yogurt starter with the cooled down milk product. It was somewhere around 3:45 mark. Yogurt? Mine went back to the boil temp.
I made my milk broil at 180degre then will beep them you let cool until 109-110 degree then add yogurt in then set yogurt for 8-10 hours if you like thin then do not need to drain otherwise just drain whay then you have the Greek yogurt.
Hey, so mines did the 3 beeps too but it still said boiling instead of yogurt. Also after you did the water bath and you had it back in the instant pot during the 4 hours of cool down period, did you just set a timer on the instant pot or did you hit the yogurt function again? When you came back in from the water bath everything was alrdy going so I wasn’t sure if you did something else. Thx!
Are use the way to after I dilute it a bit about half-and-half with water to water my herbs outside on the porch and any other plants that you have flowering plants love it as well
If you place the inner IP after it is finished the yogurt cycle, covered with a large plate if you don't have a lid for inner pot, and refrigerate the whole inner pot for over night or 8 hours, you will find your yogurt will not be runny or lumpy. Why that your's is lumpy and bumpy is because you mix or stir it before it need to cool in the fridge first! Then you can strain it and it will be nice and thick for you! Try it and see?
When you place the yogurt in the fridge, that stops the fermentation process (stopping the bacteria growth and sourness ... so ferment time can be adjusted to taste).
Please can you tell me which kind yugret you use I went to Greek stor called fresh farm. I don't know which state you live. I live in Illinois. I am tired I try many yogurt. I like I need to make it. If you know any kind work better please tell me I can buy. To make yogurt I need to make it at home mad yogurt
Me too I am in Illinois. I did try many kind of yogurt. Because I used for some cooking dishe I am assyrian. I used plan yogurt. I will look for that kind for next time thanks
I noticed your video jumps around a bit. After cooling in water bath, you checked the yogurt at the 3:47 time frame and it’s gelatinous...but then it jumps back to where it’s still like milk at room temp after cooling where you add the “starter” yogurt. I’m confused!
It appears that i mistakenly inserted a clip of checking the yogurt for setting before the clip for adding the starter. Editing is not my strong point clearly haha. But thanks for pointing that out! Just disregard that clip of checking to see if it's set and add the starter as shown after the milk has cooled. For your reference I do like to check the yogurt half way through the setting period to make sure it is indeed setting. That is all I was showing in the misplaced clip. Sorry!
The reason for not scraping the pot bottom and sides with the wisk is that metal on metal contact scrapes off micro particles of metal from both the bowl and wisk which then gets into your yogurt. I'm not a fan of micro metal in my yogurt.
Probably not... it's a specific low temp for incubation. You can turn your oven light on and put a covered pot in the oven over night. No heat... just the oven light. It will work!
I saw cheesecloth or flour bag towel instead of coffee filters I was using filters for cat food servings until I found out most coffee filters are treated with bleach...watch contents perhaps.
Newly opened yogurt...and yogurt starter ingredients are a thing... I read avoid bifuda and pectin ...I ended up buying Dannon all natural. Thanks for tips!
Well well well.... the Mid West au natural, lol..... Babies screaming in the back ground, hair brush on the countertop right next to the yogurt.... "let me go and clean out my sink first, so we can use it to cool down the yogurt".... maybe that could be done before you start? Organization is half the success! No thermometer (stick your finger in it!) it worked... I guess that's what matters, right? So far, I have not reached the point in the video where you will actually "whisk the crap out of it" ... dare I go there? I got a full measure of cultural education of Mid America lifestyle in the process! lol... what an adventure! And I am wondering why you would have any flavors floating around in your fridge??? If everything you place in there is covered and sealed, as it should be, there can never be flavors floating around in the fridge. By the way, a wet coffee filter would not fend off those flavors in all likelihood... Ceranwrap, on the other hand would do that trick! Do not take this as bitching, it is just a European watching big-eyed what and how it's done in Amerika.... So, by the way, what you made (strongly strained yogurt) is called Fresh cheese in Europe, and in Germany, they'd call it Quark! Quark is a wonderful thing... very versatile for cake baking, or on toast with jam over it, or as a dessert, too. Yum. The Greeks call it ... no not Greek yogurt! Almost gotcha! They just call it yogurt, strained yogurt. Hope I disappointed nobody! Anyhow, yogurt is a healthy food item, especially when made at home the way it should be: just milk and an excellent culture of lactobacilli! That's all. No nothing added! LOL. Oh yeah, and have you heard of these things called tripods? They come in all sizes...from table top to full blown 4 or 5 feet tall ones, and you can clip your camera to them (mobile phone, I guess?) and have your hands free to operate! I recommend it! Thanks for posting. I gave you a thumb up!
Wow Thanks for spending such a long time on your... extremely loquacious diss track there. Hugs from the Midwest. Hope you're finding smiles in your life daily! 💋
People are watching yogurt videos, in order to become triggered. That’s a very peculiar form of outlet. The wall of rambling text aggressively, and personally attacking a total stranger, for having the audacity to enjoy their life…was a nice touch.
I feel so sorry that people just disrespect you here. They don´t need to watch your content, they don´t pay for it and it is not bad! You show a real mom life and apparently domesticity is something to be ashamed about. Well I would be more ashamed of their behaivour. You rock fantastic woman! Keep doing that what makes you happy!
@@GinasFamilyKitchen Probably because she prefers her dogs to be barking. So disrespectful of her; I'm so sorry for the haters' comments. Thank you for being so real!!!
@@ame6047 you made my day! Thank you Ana. Some people say really mean stuff. Like... even about my little girls or how I breathe! Lol. But the sweet comments make up for it all. Have a great day.

😆That made it that much more real! Enjoyed your video!
@@grannyrsh5553 thanks Granny! 💋
This embodies the life of motherhood. You are amazing for even being able to film anything with those precious cuties running around 😂 ❤
I make mine at night (half gallon) and sweeten it with a can of sweetened condensed milk. In the morning it is ready and thick and delicious. No need to strain.
Ok the condensed milk.... I'm feeling thiiiiis
There is so much sugar, though. :( UGH, trying to eat healthier which is why Im6making it. BUT I have to try something because what I've been doing and using is not working.
When do you ad the condensed milk ?
I set mine for 24 hours. It does not make it too tart but with the longer period gets rid of the milk sugar and is better for you.
"...and we're gonna whisk the crap out of it anyway!" Love your style!
Keepin it real Vae. Lol
Thanks for watching!
Dear Gina, I am grateful for your recipe. Perfect is the word. I followed your pocess and the result is sooo amazing, it's now turned into my staple. Thank you again for sharing it.

Thank you for this video, I love yogurt, but with all the food shortages, it's hard to find. I am going to try this and make some various flavors!
I hope you liked it!
I missed the whole part about adding the yogurt and what you call incubating! What setting is that and for how long?
Are use the way to after I dilute it a bit about half-and-half with water to water my herbs outside on the porch and any other plants that you have flowering plants love it as well
Ummm... I love this Connie! Thanks for the tip! I'm an avid Gardner. I shoe my mini farm on my pasta Primavera recipe!
I use the Whey after I dilute it a bit ….
@@GinasFamilyKitchen 👍🏻. Glad you could read that with my boo boos!
Thanks for the video! I always wonder if the haters know that their rude comments help you. They are not nice people but eff um!
Eff em is right. Thanks for your support Nicole. I try not to let them get me down.

I pinned a notation of the mistake and time of the faulty clip in the comments section for everyone's reference. Thanks again.
I find that I only need 2T. Yogurt for a half gallon of milk.
The reason for not scraping the pot bottom and sides with the wisk is that metal on metal contact scrapes off micro particles of metal from both the bowl and wisk which then gets into your yogurt. I'm not a fan of micro metal in my yogurt.
Wow who knew! I had no idea. Thanks for sharing!
I saw people use whey in smoothies...on hair .. etc
That looks so good. I wonder if I have a similar feature on my slow cooker 🤔
Probably not... it's a specific low temp for incubation. You can turn your oven light on and put a covered pot in the oven over night. No heat... just the oven light. It will work!
@@GinasFamilyKitchen gotcha.
This is yoghurt cheese.
Greek yoghurt is only strained for half an hour.
I have yoghurt cheese (labneh) on toast or bagel in the morning
Cool fact!
2:05
I MADE EXACTLY WHAT YOU ASKED FOR AND YOU THREW IT AWAY hahahah
These kids lollll
I saw cheesecloth or flour bag towel instead of coffee filters
I was using filters for cat food servings until I found out most coffee filters are treated with bleach...watch contents perhaps.
Great suggestions!
Gina's Family Kitchen There are unbleached coffee filters available.
Could you do this with almond milk?
I believe you can do it with coconut milk and probiotic capsules! I was vegan for a minute and tried it but didnt have sucess.
How much yogurt does this yield after its complete?
6 to 8 cups depending how long you strain it.
@@GinasFamilyKitchen 8cups for 1gallon of milk?
After making the plain yoghurt, what can it be used to sweetened Greek yoghurt? And are we to add the sweetened on fire while the milk is boiling?
Newly opened yogurt...and yogurt starter ingredients are a thing...
I read avoid bifuda and pectin
...I ended up buying Dannon all natural.
Thanks for tips!
Having a hairbrush around your food is very unsanitary, not bashing just explaining nicely.❤️
Sorry...I have had children too..
wtf?
This video is so chaotic and annoying. Couldn't even watch the whole thing. It's very disorganized and unpleasant.
You talking to much
I "talking" too much? Good job.
