Yogurt Making Process:
1. Take the starter yogurt from the refrigerator so that it has time to get closer to
room temperature while you heat the milk.
2. Place the amount of milk desired in the removable cooking pot. Place the lid
on the cooker, turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM and heat the milk
to 180°F-185°F by pressing the YOGURT function ONCE. The display reads
HEAT, and once the milk reaches the proper temperature of 180°F-185°F, the
unit beeps and goes to standby mode. Use a thermometer to make sure that
proper temperature has reached.
NOTE: The unit only detects the proper temperature of 180°F-185°F when a
half gallon (8 cups) of milk is in use. If using a different amount of milk, please
use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has reached. If
needed, rerun the HEAT function to get to the proper temperature.
3. Remove the removable cooking pot from heat and allow the milk to cool to
anywhere between (100°F-110°F). To accelerate the cooling down process,
place the removable cooking pot in cold water. Do not let it cool below 90°F.
Use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has reached.
4. Stir in the plain yogurt or starter culture packet and use a silicone whisk to mix
it with the milk until the consistency is smooth with no lumps remaining.
5. Place the lid on the multi-cooker; align the handle with the open lock symbol,
and turn it counterclockwise until the locking pin clicks into place. Turn the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM when using the yogurt function. Press the
YOGURT function TWICE. The preset cooking time is 8 hours. Depending
on the flavor of yogurt you like best, you can choose how long to cook the
yogurt for by pressing the + or - button once for each additional half hour or to
decrease the time by a half hour. To fast advance, hold the button down until
you reach the desired cooking time. The longest cooking time is 24 hours.
The preparation time impacts the yogurt taste. With longer cooking time, the
yogurt could have a tarter flavor. With shorter time, the yogurt could have a
milder flavor.
6. Press the START/STOP button to begin the yogurt function. The display
shows: YGRT and cooking time alternatively. The unit begins to count down
in 1 minute increments once the correct temperature has reached. When the
cooking time is up, the unit beeps and it turns to standby mode.
7. When the yogurt is ready, remove the lid. There may be some yellowish liquid,
whey, on top of the yogurt. Don't worry, this is normal, whey contains nutrients
and protein. Mix it back into the yogurt.
8. If you prefer regular yogurt, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours
before serving, or until yogurt cools down. If you prefer making Greek yogurt,
please refer to page 22.
NOTE: THE Multi-cooker SHOULD REMAIN PERFECTLY STILL DURING THE
COOKING PROCESS. DO NOT MOVE THE APPLIANCE; DO NOT REMOVE THE
REMOVABLE COOKING POT OR THE LID AS THIS AFFECTS THE FIRMNESS
OF THE YOGURT. DO NOT ADD ANY FLAVORING BEFORE COMPLETING THE
YOGURT MAKING PROCESS.

Yogurt Making in Glass Jars:
1. Take the starter yogurt from the refrigerator so that it has time to get closer to
room temperature while you heat the milk.
2. When you heat the milk in glass jars, add 1 cup of water into the removable
cooking pot, then insert a yogurt making rack, and place your glass jars on
top of the rack. Place the lid on the multi-cooker; align the protruding pin
on the handle with the condensation collector (open lock symbol), and turn
it counterclockwise until the locking pin clicks into place. Turn the pressure
regulator knob to STEAM. Heat the milk to 180°F-185°F by pressing the
YOGURT function ONCE. Once the process is over, use the Natural Release
Method to release the steam. Always use a thermometer to make sure that
proper temperature has been reached.
3. The second step after heating the milk is allowing the milk to cool to lukewarm
(100-110°F). To accelerate the cooling down process, take out the jars with
the help of a jar lifter. Do not let it cool below 90°F. Use a thermometer to
make sure that proper temperature has reached.
4. Stir in the plain yogurt with live active culture and use a spoon to mix it with
the milk until the consistency is smooth with no lumps remaining.
5. Place the lid on the multi-cooker; align the protruding pin on the handle with
the condensation collector (open lock symbol), and turn it counterclockwise
until the locking pin clicks into place. Turn the pressure regulator knob to
STEAM. Press the YOGURT function TWICE. The preset cooking time is
8 hours. Depending on the flavor of yogurt you like best, you can choose
how long to cook the yogurt for by pressing the + or – button once for each
additional half hour or to decrease the time by a half hour. To fast advance,
hold the button down until you reach the desired cooking time. The longest
cooking time is 24 hours. The preparation time impacts the yogurt taste. With
longer cooking time, the yogurt could have a tarter flavor. With a shorter time,
the yogurt could have a milder flavor.

whey, on top of the yogurt. Don't worry, this is normal, whey contains nutrients
and protein. Mix it back into the yogurt.
8. If you prefer regular yogurt, cover, and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours
before serving, or until yogurt cools. If you prefer making Greek yogurt, please
refer to page 22.
Helpful Hints and Tips:
• The probiotics and live active cultures are at its best when the yogurt is fresh.
For the best results, only repeat the same starter yogurt 2 times max. After a
few days, the probiotics in the previous batch can weaken, and the yogurt may
result in a liquid consistency.
• You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavorings, fruit,
or other ingredients to taste test just before eating.
