On the West Coast the IP to turns yogurt into milk.  It's the counter-culture.

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

CA: I would try again with store bought yogurt.  Also, I found that it's harder to make a full gallon at once.

I only make a quart at a time because that is the size of my storage container.

I have never not had my yogurt turn into yogurt, I have used skim and 1%, store bought starter, starter from another batch and whey as well. A gallon or a half gallon.
Wonder what happened,
As for slow cooking, I have never made anything in the slow cooker that didn't turn into a pile of mush. So would never try it. I got it for the speed and the yogurt.

The only time I had a yogurt fail was when I tried to make an entire gallon.  I also can't eat that much before it goes bad.

OK, I need to hardboil a dozen eggs today for deviled eggs. Recipes seem all over the map. What's the best technique?

Put the basket thingie in the pot.  Add a cup of water, pile the eggs on top of the thingie, and close it up.  Use the manual feature to punch in 5 minutes of high pressure cooking time.  10 minutes later, release pressure and cool off the perfectly hard-boiled eggs.

I make the gallon, but then I strain it overnight. It comes to not that much, I have not had it go bad on me yet.

Same here.  If I'm going to fuss with yogurt, I want to make enough of it so I don't have to fuss with the process again for a while.

Report back! I have seen it done both ways and both ways claim success. I did it my way the first time and it worked so I do not mess with it.

Cooked a half dozen medium large russet potatoes last night.  Cup of water, salt,  manual set to high for 20 minutes, release pressure, perfect!

a half gallon takes the same amount of time except the boil and cool down, I feel the same way why you do, radial.
