Before using the yoghurt maker for the first time it is vital
that you clean and sterilise the glass jars, a measuring jug, a spoon and a
sieve. You can either use a food-grade steriliser, or plunge the items into
very hot (but not boiling) water. Preferably, allow the items to air dry to
avoid transferring germs from a tea towel.
The yoghurt can be made with full, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk.
You need to measure five glass jarfuls of milk into a high-sided saucepan. You
will also need one jarful of natural yoghurt (either bought or made from a
previous batch). Heat the milk until it starts to climb the sides of the
saucepan (don't take your eyes off it). . Let it cool to about 96oF (a kitchen
thermometer is useful) and then pour the milk through the sieve into the jug.
Next, stir your starter jar of yoghurt into the milk and then
divide the mixture between the six glass jars, close the lids securely, put
them into the base unit and switch on. Set the hour reminder so that you will
know when the yoghurt is done. If you are making the yoghurt with full fat milk
it takes about four hours and skimmed milk takes about six.
When the yoghurt is ready, take the jars out of the yoghurt
maker and place in the fridge to cool. Once cool, the yoghurt is ready to eat.
You
may find when you come to eat the yoghurt that a liquid has formed on the top.
This is whey and you can either stir it into the yoghurt or pour it off.
Enjoy!
Hope this helps!!! (")>
