Yogurt Program

You only need two ingredients to make yogurt at home: any type of milk and
plain store-bought yogurt (with live active cultures) or starter yogurt.
Choosing the Milk:
The following types of milk may be used:
1. Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1% or skim milk)
2. Powdered milk
3. Long-life UHT sterilized milk
4. Soy Milk. Be sure to use UHT soy milk, which contains one of the following
ingredients: fructose, honey, or malt. These ingredients are necessary for
fermentation and you cannot be successful if none are available in the milk.
Live Active Cultures-Unflavored Yogurt:
All you need is a small amount of plain, unflavored yogurt with live active cultures,
often called probiotics. The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or
used from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. Homemade yogurt can only
be used a maximum of 2 times as starter yogurt. If you use the store bought
yogurt and prefer a particular brand, try using that one as a starter.
The Live & Active Culture seal, from the National Yogurt Association (NYA), helps
you recognize those products containing significant amounts of live and active
cultures. The seal is a voluntary identification available to all manufacturers of
yogurt whose products contain at least 100 million cultures per gram at the time
of manufacture. Since the seal program is voluntary, some yogurt products may
have some live cultures but not carry the seal.
Note: For 5 cups of milk use a ½ cup of plain yogurt or 1 packet starter
culture. For 1 cup of milk use about one tablespoon of plain yogurt.
NOTE: You can make yogurt either directly in the removable cooking pot or
using glass jars in the removable cooking pot by placing them on a steamer.
