The principle of cooking homemade yogurt

Everyone probably knows what yogurt is, maybe someone even cooked it in a yogurt maker. But if you first decided to take up it, first of all, you should learn the basic principles of cooking.

  • Do not think that yogurt can only be cooked in multicookers of certain brands, such as: Redmond, Polaris, that is, in those where there is a function of "Yogurt". In fact, the oven of any manufacturer is suitable.
  • If you decide to cook with pasteurized or homemade milk, before using it, be sure to bring it to a boil first. The ultra-pasteurized version is enough to bring to room temperature, milk should not be only from the refrigerator.
  • It is better to mix dry sourdough first with a small amount of milk in a separate container, and then add what is left.
  • When making yogurt in a multicooker without jars, place everything at once in the bowl, but do not forget to rinse it well. Turn on the device in the "Heating" mode and wait until the mass is sour. This may take from 4 to 8 hours.

Of course, you can cook on the basis of store-bought natural yogurt, but it must be of good quality. The best starter cultures are now considered dry, which are in pharmacies. They contain about two million bacteria, many vitamins and minerals.

  • When choosing a dry mixture, be sure to pay attention to the composition, the more bacteria, the more useful it is.
  • If you are going to cook yogurt for children, then buy sourdough, where the composition is fully prescribed in order to know what you are giving your child.
