I learned how to make yogurt from you about 2 years ago. I started Bright Line Eating 3 years ago after reading the book, and lost over 100 lbs the first year. I ate Faje yogurt every single morning, and the $6+ price of a container was irking me. So I learned from you, and the rest is history. You also got me to FINALLY use my Ninja Foodi….so THANK YOU!!!❤ For the first time in my 64 years I’ve lost my excess weight and kept it

This is such a solid video on yogurt making. My wife and I have been making Greek Yogurt every couple of days for a month now and we still picked up some new tips.

I use Fairlife milk and freeze-dried culture. I set a custom temperature of 110F on my instant pot. Set it at 6pm. 6am I have yogurt. I strain it for Greek yogurt. I save the whey that I use for bread making.

Thank you very much for detailed explanation. In Turkey, before pouring the milk we wet the bottom of the pot a little bit to prevent it from burning. We also apply olive oil to the edges of the pot to prevent the milk from overflowing.

Very nice. I make yogurt in my IP once every 2 weeks. I also strain it and usually get 1/2 gallon of yogurt per gallon of milk. The whey goes into my morning smoothie and bread doughs, as well as serving as the incubation source for the next batch. I use only whey to incubate the next batch: 1/4 cup. I freeze an ice tray of whey then bag the cubes until I need them.

I made my first batch of yogurt 2 days ago thanks to this video. It came out phenomenal! I left 16oz regular, and made 32oz Greek. I used the sear/saute to bring it to temp, and an ice bath to bring it back down to proper temp. And then it hit me, if you worried about the "burnt" residue while using the foodi to do the whole process, why not just pour the milk to another clean container, and then wash the pot before adding the milk back in to mix in the starter. 🤔 maybe that could help. But either way thank you for making me realize how easy homemade yogurt is!

I’m super happy you did this model. I have been using the Instant Pot and recently bought this model. I make the cold star yogurt and couldn’t figure out how to do it. I was feeling like I had to keep my other machine just for making yogurt! Thank you a ton

You should do a video on making quick buttermilk using the ninja foodi. Love your videos. Keep up the GREAT work. Shout out to your husband behind the scenes.

You are the first person to mention boiling milk BEFORE the 8hr fermenting process. I tried last night in breadmaker and was fail. Now I know why. Also convinced me finally to get the Ninja foodie.

[NoHuddleHawkeyes]

Thanks for this method. I typically do the bypass with Fairlife, culture and sweetened condensed milk.

[KRO]

The sear/sauté method took less than 30 min for 1/2 gallon. Thank you!!

I have that strainer and I put the mesh part in the top rack of the dishwasher. It comes out great, doesn’t harm it at all.

You do a really nice job with your channel. I am now motivated to make some yogurt in my foodie. Thanks.

God bless this beautiful lady for teaching us amazing recipes 💖

I used my ninja max OL750 and it was so easy to use. I just followed what the instructions said in the yogurt function and boom- amazing yogurt..

[raymondschneider]

Louise, love the channel and all the recipes; have tried a number of them!
I use my Instant Pot Duo to make my Greek-style yogurt (via the "Yogurt" function). I, too, use Fairlife milk (ultra-pasturized) and 2 Tablespoons of PLAIN greek-style yogurt per bottle).
I put my IP on in the evening before going to bed and the function runs for 8 hours. Then, when I get up, I put the inner pot into the 'fridge for 8 hours (generally, when I'm at work) to settle. When I get home, I just can the finished yogurt and store in the fridge.
I don't do the "boil"{ function you talk about.
I will often share the product with friends, sis-in-low, etc.
Y'all Be Safe!

I make my yogurt without a instapot. I do it in quart canning jars on the convection stovetop. It is a 12 hour process every time. So yummy !! This is much easier but I never minded the effort. Thanks for the video.

[evelynsibley]

Made yoghurt yesterday using the sauté to do the boil. After cooling down and adding the starter I put it into the fridge as it was late

[wildwood]

I have been looking at this model and was hoping it had an easy yogurt function. Thanks for explaining, it looks great! I personally use a cold start recipe and love using Oui vanilla yogurt, works perfectly fine in the pressure cooker pot I have.

[MichellePerry-wx]

Thank you so much for these detailed steps! I never knew what to do with my yogurt button.
