Use Only Ultra-Filtered Milk Ultrafiltered Milk (UF milk) aka diafiltered milk is regular milk that has been processed through an ultra-filtration process. This filtration process creates a type of milk that has more Protein, more Calcium, less Sugar, and lactose free compared to regular milk. We are using Fairlife Ultrafiltered Milk to make this Instant Pot Cold Start Yogurt or No Boil Yogurt. *Critical Pro Tip: This cold start or no boil method will not work with regular milk. Use Whole Milk The type of milk you use will determine the thickness and creaminess of your homemade yogurt. After testing the Instant Pot Yogurt Recipe with 2% Milk, 3.25% Milk and 3.8% Milk, 3.8% Whole Milk with the highest milk fat content produced the thickest and creamiest homemade yogurt. Since Fairlife currently offers Skim Milk, 2% Partly Skimmed Milk, and 3.25% Whole Milk, we’re using 3.25% Whole Milk to make this Instant Pot Cold Start Yogurt. 😀

2. Yogurt Starter Must Have Active Bacterial Cultures Beware that not all yogurt works as yogurt starters!! It’s critical for you to check the ingredient list of the store-bought yogurt when you’re shopping for a yogurt starter. It must have active bacterial cultures for it to work as the yogurt starter. A live culture usually contains at least 2 types of bacteria (L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus). *Pro Tip: The homemade yogurt’s consistency and taste will vary depending on the type of bacteria cultures in the yogurt starter. Sometimes, it does make a big difference! So, choose the brand you like best for the most consistent result. However, keep in mind that you will get plain yogurt no matter what flavor or type of yogurt you use.

3. Incubation Time Longer incubation time = Tangier yogurt You can open the lid for a taste test once the yogurt is set (roughly 6:30 hours).

4. Do Not Disturb Don’t disrupt the fermentation process by moving the Instant Pot or opening the lid. Wait until it is set (roughly 6:30 hours) before opening the lid. 5. Best Time to Start the Instant Pot Yogurt Process? We like to start the process before we go to bed, so when we wake up, the fermentation process is done, and party’s over! ? But if you don’t need your Instant Pot for cooking during the day, you can start anytime as long as it’s 10+ hours before you sleep. Or else you’ll either have to stay up late, wake up early, or end up with ultra tangy yogurt. ?
