Making Yogurt in the
Donvier Yogurt Maker
Note: Your Donvier
Yogurt Maker comes with a recipe for 1 qt. of yogurt. This fills the
yogurt jars half way and allows room to add fruit and flavorings. Recipe
can be doubled to 2 qts. if desired, which will fill the yogurt jars
completely.
-
Ingredients
-
1 quart (.95L)
milk (whole, 2%,1%, skim or powdered). If using skim milk, stir
1/4 cup (50 ml) of instant skim milk powder into cold milk
before heating. If making milk from skim milk powder, add an
additional 1/3 cup (75 ml) of skim milk powder to water.
-
1 or 2 heaping
tablespoons (15 - 30 ml) of plain commercial or homemade yogurt
with live active cultures or 1 envelope (5 grams) of freeze
dried yogurt starter.
-
Pour milk into a two quart (1.9L) saucepan or 4 cup (1L) glass
measuring cup. Heat milk on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until
bubbles appear around edge and steam rises from the surface. Or
microwave on HIGH until milk is steaming hot, stirring occassionally,
about 8-10 minutes. Temperature of milk should be 185°F to 190°F
(85°C - 88°C).
-
Remove saucepan from heat insert thermometer stirrer. Let milk cool
until it reaches the "Add Starter" temperature level on the
thermometer at 110°F to 115°F (43°C - 46°C).
Note: if using the
Yogourmet CBA Yogurt Starter,
the milk must be cooled to 73°F. When using raw milk, boil
for several minutes before you cool to the "Add Starter" temperature
level.
-
Add 1 or 2 heaping tablespoons of yogurt starter or empty one
envelope (5 grams) of yogurt starter into one of the yogurt jars.
Add some of the heated milk and stir until well blended.
Do not add any flavorings or sweeteners before completing the yogurt
making process. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan
and stir well.
-
Pour the mixed liquid equally into yogurt jars, cover securely with
lids and place jars into the yogurt maker.
-
Place the unit cover on the heater base. Plug in the electric cord,
the digital display will illuminate and display "00.01".
-
Press the MINUTE SET button until desired minute number appears,
then press the HOUR SET button until desired hour number appears.
For the first batch, try setting the cooking cycle to 10 hrs.
Note: if using the
Yogourmet CBA Yogurt Starter,
the incubation period will be 12-15 hrs. For future batches,
set to longer cycle for a thicker consistency or to a shorter cycle
for a thinner consistency.
-
Press the START button to begin the cooking cycle. The ON indicator
will illuminate to indicate unit is operating.
-
Ten minutes before the end of the cycle, a reminder tone will sound.
Five minutes later, a second reminder tone will sound.

The Donvier Yogurt Maker will automatically shut off at the end of
the cooking cycle. The on indicator will turn off and the timer will
display "0.00". A beeper will sound for one minute to remind you to
remove the jars and place them in the refrigerator.
-
Yogurt must be chilled 3-4 hours before sercving. Save some yogurt
to use as a starter for the next batch. Plain yogurt will keep in
the refrigerator 10 - 14 days.
- Making Yogurt
Cheese
Yogurt cheese is a solid
concentrated yogurt with the liquid (Whey) removed. An optional
Yogurt
Cheese Maker is available. The
yellowish liquid Whey coming out of the yogurt contains lactose, provitamin A and minerals. You can refrigerate it and drink it
or add it to recipes. Note: When making yogurt cheese do
not add any gelatin to the yogurt that will be used to make
yogurt cheese.
- Yogurt is composed of coagulated
particles called curds which are suspended in a watery
liquid called whey. As the whey is drained off in a
strainer, the remaining curds become a thick cheese-like
consistency.
- Yogurt cheese can be used as a delicious
low fat substitute for cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream
and whipping cream.
- Use to spread on toast, muffins or bagels
or to top baked potatoes. Serve plain or flavor with fruit,
honey or vanilla for a sweeter taste. Use the yogurt cheese
to make low fat dips, salad dressings, sandwich spreads and
low fat cheesecakes.
 |
-
Empty a desired amount of yogurt into
a bowl lined with a double thickness of cheese cloth.
-
Gather the edges and tie with a
string.
-
Suspend the the cheesecloth over a
bowl in the refrigerator for 2-8 hours until the yogurt
has solidified to desired consistency.
-
You can
experiment with taste by adding different flavors from
salt, red and green peppers, onions, chives, garlic,
mushrooms, pineapple, nuts or anything else that is
desired.
