Thanks, Ice Cream

well that crushes that theory. 😊

I use Fage and 1% milk and it comes out perfect.

Ok! Will try a batch of lower fat yogurt this weekend. I got my nut milk bag to strain it with.

There is nothing wrong with trying greek yogurt as a starter; it's just more expensive.  I dislike Aldi's yogurt as a starter.

Why don't you just use some of your homemade?

Wonder why some people aren't getting the tartness, Rochey is yours tart? Do you do it for 8 hours or more?

For me, there two variables to my tarter batch. The different starter and I also left it over 9 hours.

I read somewhere that your yogurt tends to stay fairly liquid if you keep reusing your own.  I never tried it.  I have no issues buying the starter, and every once in a while, when I am out of starter, I will use my own.

I just keeping making the same basic thing over and over again and I love this thing!

Chicken thighs and veggies and whatever sauce you like, Hunan, Szechuan, Greek, Italian, Cajun, Moroccan, Mexican.... it's endless. 

9 minutes and it's like it has been in a slow cooker for 12 hours.   

HEB peeps.  Get you some Rockin' Moroccan sauce and whatever veggies you like.  Sometimes I marinate for a couple of hours, sometimes i don't... I use celery and carrots and onions and green peppers... I add maybe a 1/4 cup of water. do manual for 9 to 10 minutes and then vent.  Serve over rice.

If the sauce is thin at the end I'll put it on saute and thicken it with cornstarch. 

This thing is amazing.

People put a lot less effort into picking apart evidence that confirms what they already believe.

I made Beef Madras....recipe and spice packet from Karen's Spice Kitchen...in the instant pot rather than in a Dutch oven or slow cooker.
It was yummy yummy!
Served over basmati rice with a (garden) cucumber and (garden) tomato salad.

Heh, Bonita. Keep an eye out for another sale. Well worth the $69.95 I paid

I think my yogurt is getting more tart as it sits. I am very happy with it though, a half gallon didn't make that much and I lost a lot of what I strained in the yogurt strainer. The laundry bag worked better, and I received my nut milk bag from Amazon so will use that. It is about same mesh as the laundry bag.
I will make a gallon next time, and use a different starter and maybe some powdered milk.

I wonder if the whole milk yielded more because less prob strained out? I got 40oz of yogurt from 1/2 gallon.

Nice!  I'm glad you're loving your spice packets; what a clever way to use one.  I'm having dinner at Karen's house tomorrow night.  She'll love to hear that one of my imaginary friends liked her product. :heartbeat:

Either stay out of the thread and avoid temptation or else get one.  My motto is "the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it."  I love mine and don;t regret.

You know how much I hate kitchen gadgets and I don't regret spending $70 or the counter space for mine!
