Making yogurt with the Salton Yogurt Maker is fun, easy, and worry-free. Some things you will need are milk, powdered milk to thicken, a thermometer, and a yogurt starter. Make sure your yogurt maker is clean before you start. It will provide a stable temperature for incubating the yogurt. In this article you will find the best instructions for the Salton Yogurt Maker.
1. Add ½ cup of dry milk to 1 quart of whole or skim milk.
The milk should be heated on the stove to 185-190°F, stirring frequently.
2. While you wait for the milk to heat up, plug in the yogurt maker so that it heats up.
3. Let milk cool to 110-115°F. I usually place the pot in a large bowl of ice water, stirring the milk until it cools to the right temperature.
4. Pour about 1/3 of the milk into a separate clean container and add ½ cup plain yogurt with active cultures or 1 packet of yogurt starter. Stir until evenly mixed.
5. For this starter, mix with the remaining milk and stir.
6. Finally, transfer the milk to your preheated yogurt maker.
7. You must allow the yogurt to incubate for 6 to 12 hours. The longer it is heated, the more acidic the flavor.
8. When the batch is ready, place the container in the refrigerator and chill for several hours or overnight. The yogurt will thicken as it cools.
You now have a wonderfully delicious batch of plain yogurt. If you like it flavored, add a little maple syrup, honey, fruit, or jam.
Homemade yogurt is a healthy alternative to commercial brands. You have control over the ingredients and there is no risk of eating unhealthy additives and sugars. The Salton Yogurt Maker is inexpensive and easy to use. You don’t have to part with large sums of your hard-earned money for a more expensive unit. Making homemade yogurt is exciting and I hope you find these Salton Yogurt Maker instructions helpful.
